Is this odd,or am I out of touch?

[Cyclopsbee]

I am prepared to be flamed but just want some opinions really cos I think it's abit odd,
Can I firstly say that I don't have Facebook and can't think of a reason why I would want to put my life 'on show' and share silly things like what I've had for lunch etc etc but that's just me old fogey

DS and his girlfriend (both 16) have Facebook as does my DD (24)
My DD passed comment that she thought it was weird that DS girlfriends mother always posts comments on their pages with things like 'loving your choice of boyfriend' and shares photos of them etc,
DS once posted that he was supporting a friend whose parents were divorcing and GF mother comments 'if you want to talk about it I'm here'

DD says it's strange and why doesn't she have friends her own age?

They have a lot of mutual friends as both our families belong to the same sports club and she seems to be friends with a lot of the teenagers.

Is it odd or am I behind the times? ( the mother and myself are both almost 50)

0898 DS thinks anyone over 30 is aged
What I meant to type was I told him mumsnet is not just for the aged! it's open to all and sundry even if your not a mum

I agree fluffies it's a minefield, everyone seems to know everyone else's business. This mother clearly doesn't care who sees her posts and that's why I steer clear of Facebook

I know lots of parents like this. Its a personality thing. We are all different and people may be surprised that other mothers don't comment.

As for having friends your own age... WHY? A friend is a friend, who cares what age they are?
