Your mother has a facebook account! and added you.

I think that would be kind of embarrassing, depending on how old you are. When I was a teenager, I didn't want my mother involved in anything that I was doing with my friends and such unless I explicitly invited her. We used to share an AIM account and it drove me insane when she would talk to my friends because it was kind of like violating my privacy and such, or that's how I thought at the time. My mother doesn't have a Facebook account, but now that I'm a little older I wouldn't mind adding my mother as a friend. I don't have any secrets or anything that I don't already tell her, so I really don't see any sense in trying to keep her out of the loop. Heck, I've added family that drive me more insane than she does just to keep the peace, so I definitely could stand having my mother as a friend on there.

hi ivy my adult son has a facebook account but I really do not want one as it sounds so much more complicated than mylot does and there are so many problems it seems to me with facebook. I now wonder if my son would be unhappy if I did take out a facebook account. I really am not that sold on facebook but have some old friends who have insisted I take out a facebook account.Unless he asked to be my friend I would not even bother him.odd how kids treat parents once they are grown up,wonder'what they would think if when they were little we turned our backs on them.just rant before bedtime. odd though moms are thought of as being so bad.I get' a little tired of reading about how awful moms are. we gave birth to you people and without us you would not even be here. .

Hi ivy, now that would be truly a shocker for me because aside from the fact that she totally has no idea about computers let alone turning it on herself, my mom's already passed away. But if she were alive, I guess I'd also get a good spanking from all the things I put in my FB. Things that might embarrass me. I am pretty confident with my mom's sense of humor but let's face it, parents can be too traditional and Kill-joy sometimes.

I also have some friends where there moms have a FB account. I am glad that my mom doesn't have any interest in it.

If you and your mom are very close to each other maybe you can talk about specially the privacy issue. I think the reason why mom's having you in their friendlist is just to keep you on track not to embarrassed or what so ever, but If you are not close to her do not accept the invitation, easy as that.

Poor Guys... There are some things that you want to keep to yourself or from your parents. Like different relationships, your close buddies, and other. Maybe one of them is a poker addict and after his mom will see his facebook account she will know why all her money and jewlery. i'm just kidding.... but that might be a case....

I think it might be embarrassed to have my mother as a Face Book friend of mine. Luckily my mother doesn't have a computer and she doesn't have an interest in computing. My bother-in-law is friends with his mother on Face Book. It is a way for him to stay in contact with her and his brothers. She and he live in England but the brothers live in Canada. I love my mother very much and am happy she hasn't got any interest in Face Book.

lol. Its not just moms. I've read posts from people about themselves that really should have been left between them and their mind. I don't guess they understand that what they post is not private.

LOL..My mom is not that computer savvy. But my sister added her 11 year-old son on her Facebook account..to check his online activities

I would be proud to have my mom as a friend on facebook, since she is my friend in the real world. But then again there is nothing on my facebook account that I would care if she sees anyway. I am one of those that believes that facebook is a great way to keep up with your real friends and my real life friends are "normal" so no fears of what they would put on my wall.

My mother has not got a clue on how to use a computer properly, the only thing she can do is check my dad's emails, but that is only because myself and my brother have taught her, anything else she just wouldn't have a clue. I don't think it would bother me too much if she were to be on facebook, as most things she knows anyway, she would probably be more shocked to see what other family members have written. It is amazing what you can find out on there. Saying that, I can understand what other people say, because some people, just don't want their Mum's knowing all about what they are doing, feeling or going, or even associating with, I could imagine that it would be pretty embarrassing if their mothers were to be ringing them up constantly asking what is going on. Something's do need to be private, and if your mother is on your facebook friends list, and there are things that you dont want them knowing I think you just have to try and keep it all quiet, and not post out things like that.

I am a Mom of three kids,they have all their facebook accounts and we are friends there.For me there is no big deal in that.My two lovely ladies is very open with me interms of their life,no secrets they tell me all about what is happening in their day to day life. I used to comment in their status too,one time she had to change her status form being single into in a relationship,I just put a comment there,study first don't disturb your mind with other things,anyway love can wait.So she said I am right,and it's not a big deal between us.

I think there's nothing wrong of having your mom's account added in yours. If you can shout to the world your secrets by posting them on the net, then why not your mom can't know about it. If it's really secret, then don't share it with anybody, specially on the web.

My mom has a facebook account.. but it's mostly to network with family that doesn't live here and people on her job. Me and my sister both have her added.. and she doesn't bother us. We are both grown, so she respects the fact that it is OUR page... We don't go on her page questioning things she may have up and she shows us the same respect!

Hi weather your mother/Father is on facebook or not, weather they are in your friend's list or not. Never do things on net that you can not do in presence of your Parents.

hahaha. This is why is always have two facebooks, one for your public life and the other for your private life. My mom is cool but so nosy.
