Facebook

G-d help me, I just helped my mother sign up to Facebook. The rationale being that it provides another avenue through she can keep in touch with me and Raphaela.

Now I have to be very careful when I post updates.

My youngest brother will be the most disturbed by this news, I think, and I have recommended that my mother wait until he "friends" her, rather than her taking the initiative. That way, he has the option of keeping that aspect of his life private.

You can control what your mother sees on your Facebook page by going to "privacy settings", then "profile information". You can block specific people from seeing your posts, or posts by your friends, or comments, etc.

you wanted your mom to pay attention to you-perhaps she is trying to change,

So funny that we, as adults, have this reaction when our parents want to friend us on FB. It's the same reactions my kids have when I tell them if they don't friend me, they can't have an account. I guess the parent child dynamic never really changes.

Funny how I never got around to accepting my dad's friend request...

I have a worse problem - I'm FB friends with about half the managers in the lab here at work. The rule is to never post anything on Facebook that you wouldn't want to see in Focal (annual review).
