I imagine there’s quite a few of us whose parents don’t really understand the niceties of social media! I’m in my 30s, live in another country, and can tell what time Mum gets up in the morning because I’ll get a stream of likes and comments. Mostly you roll your eyes and get on with it.
Unfortunately she also likes to add my friends. As I live abroad, some of them are people she has never met. The recent one that has triggered this post also happens to be in a senior role at my work, so could have been really awkward (thankfully he’s got a sense of humour about it). She’s also got very little sense of personal responsibility, so when I confronted her about it, she denied it, said that he had added her (in this instance I’ve got a screenshot from my friend showing that the request came from Mum - he didn’t know who she was so had to ask!), then got defensive and upset.
I’ve contemplated it before, and don’t really want to get to the stage of blocking her, unfriending her, or restricting what she sees, but can’t really have her doing this.
Am I being unreasonable?
