to delete my Facebook profile now my neices have found me?

[stroppyknickers]

Carelessly accepted a friend request from my 14 yr old neice, then found her writing on my wall (nicely) to the cousin she isn't supposed to contact due to some family rift. Also, I don't really want my drunken witty remarks to friends reported back, nor having to explain to SIL who some of my male friends are etc. So, shall I just delete myself?

Just delete the child [evil emotion]. I have not accepted friend requests from step sons, neices or nephews as I don't want them reading some of the things I write, and I don't want to see their ridiculous text speak posts of them swearing and profile photos of them dressing provocatively (sp?).

seems a shame she can't talk to one of her cousins due to an adult's family rift

I know, don't get me started on that one! How do I delete the child?

just delete anyone under 18. problem solved

click on your friends tab: all friends, then click on the cross to remove friend. dead easy.

You can delete her off your friends list and then block her under your privacy settings.

agree delete anyone under 18

i have some of my friends dc asking me to add them

there is no way i want them to read what i their mum gets up to

why would i want a 14yr on my fb

tbh i dont go on fb much

and make sure only friends can see your profile etc

gr8 - will also delete dd's friend who i accidentally added. Glad I am not unfeeling cow then.

Give it a week or so, and ask your other friends to be restrained in their comments to you.

At least let the poor child have a chance of contacting her other cousin, and maybe the rift, at least for the young ones would be healed.

Look upon it this way, you are facilitiating family members to talk. Suggest them as a friend to eachother. Then, whistle innocently and delete said niece.

You can restrict or limit her friendship so she can't see pics or wall - why not do that - she won't get offended at being deleted and you won't have to worry about what she can and can not see.

QS . I did jokingly reply 'yes, now you've found me I'll have to leave!" and got as v confused message back. Think she might be offended if I just delete her. Cd claim it was an accident...

You could delete her and if she asks why you are no longer on her friends' list tell her you've left Facebook
(I'm sure you can change your settings so you don't appear on searches etc)

thanks mary - all getting very complicated now should have paid more attention to friend requests!

I deleted my account when my sister found me and started tagging me looking hideous in hideous photos. THen I reinvented myself with my forum name (not this forum and readded all my friends!

You can change your privacy settings so that she can't see all of your status's, friends etc...prolly easier to hit delete

RCB - might be the way to go! Or just delete and be extra generous at birthdays!
