LOL My mum's on Facebook :(

Bang goes linking to hilarious images or engaging in salubrious chat with old schoolchums. Now she can see everything I do.

How do other forum regulars cope with a situation like this? I can't ignore her or I'm in trouble, and I can't be as fruity as I used to be with other Facebook friends...

 

create a group called family, put her in there and restrict what the family group can see. problem solved

 

Limited profile?

Edit: Beaten to it with a better solution.

If your mum doesn't fall for it tough ****, just carry on as normal.

 

Don't use Facebook?

 

Upon learning that my own mom had made a Facebook profile I immediately set everything to Friends Only and told her that I would never add her as a friend.

 

My mum's on facebook and joins in the banter... not ashamed at all

 

This, My mum seems to be fixated with the damn site, I seem to have lost my netbook to her too.

^This tbh. I have sooo many groups, my privacy settings are extremely complex

 

Just wait for her to set her mood to " Sensual "

 

Yeah, when I was on Facebook I had both my parents as friends and they were usually worse than me!

 

easiest way is to do what i did and simply not sign up for the ****ing thing to begin with.

 

I only signed up out of boredom after CS at 3am one morning. I have posted maybe 4 things in 6 months and mostly use it to send messages instead of emails....seeing as most emails get spamblocked because of the Yahoo domain.

 

My family just aren't easily offended. I wouldn't friend them if they were, it's my only precondition of friendship (both on and off facebook).

 

Then why are you worrying?
Problem solved, if you barely use it, and only use it to send messages (which are private) then why are you crying?

 

If it's a problem for him that you don't understand, why are you posting on a thread you don't have to read only to cry about not understanding his problems?

 

Wut?

I don't know whether it has been a long day or something but I've read that sentence multiple times and still can't completely make sense out of it.

The problem is, his mother has Facebook.
He uses Facebook about 8 times a year, and uses it to send messages, which are private.

I don't really see the problem but hey, I guess it is true what they say; 'Women are from Omicron Persei 7, men are from Omicron Persei 9'.

 

My Dad has facebook. Well him and my Mum both sort of use it. I've told them I will never add them as a friend. The only family member I have is one of my aunties who never speaks to us anyway. I also have Cousins, but they're alright.

 

My parents wouldn't know how to use Facebook.

And I would never ever add them anyways.

 

The only thing I use my facebook for is family, as I live so far from them. My mum doesn't use it much once or twice a fortnight maybe, so no biggy for me at least.

+1 to everyone who said put her in a group.

Let her see your photo galleries but don't let her see your statuses or wall posts, or posts on others' walls.

 

My mum is in Facebook as well. So what? She asked if she could be my friend and I said no, done deal. Only show everything to friends and be done with it.
