I'm feeling slightly irritated by my father. He has been adding a few of my friends, of whom he haven't even met in real life into his friends list!! It's like he's poking his way into my life, I need my privacy thank you. I talked to him about it, saying that it bothers me. We fought BIG time over it. And now, he's adding yet again.

One should invite those in the friends' list that are known. It is odd really that your father is including your friends. If you are very close with your friends you can discretely ask them to block him.

This is just creepy. But it is hard to answer correctly without knowing:
Are you under 18? Does he live with you? Did you used to get into a lot of trouble? Are you guys close?
If no than that is very weird. If you answer the questions above I can answer you better, but this sounds like bad news.

I stumbled upon this discussion of yours and it actually made me laugh. You know I have no facebook account but my son do have. At my age I thought facebook would not at all excite me but lately I noted some of my friends who are of my age are enjoying it for they could greet one another and post and announce just about anything that interest each of them. I am now setting up my own account and probably I would not be adding my son nor his friends on my list because anyway I don't think I will ever enjoy or have interest in their postings and comments. They are for the young people only and I want them to enjoy their privacy. Maybe your Dad needs friends. Then go and help him find his classmates and other long lost friends so he will have enough to socialize with and will not have time anymore with your friends.

My father doesnt have a facebook account but if he does and adds my friends up, I think its okay. I think I would be proud to show my friends how cool my dad is for being in facebook and for being one of our common friends. I dont need to get annoyed at him if I dont have anything to hide.

Hi Lilmuchang, I am friends with my father on Facebook but he only has my daughters and my brothers as friends on theree, don't think he really knows how to use it. He wouldnt add anyone he didn't personaly know and if he did I too would feel the way you do. Huggles. Ellie :D

lol.Ever since my mom joined Facebook, the site became different for me because now I have to be conscious on every post I make and I always make sure that the photos that I was tag to are wholesome enough for my mothers tastes otherwise I untag them
I definitely understand your frustration and I hope I can block or removed my mom on my account without hurting her feelings..
