I hate being control by my mom in real life, and now she's controlling me in the virtual world ! I was surfing the web one night and suddenly face book chat shows my mom, "why are you still playing the computer, you don't have anything better to do?"
Then again, i was posting comment about games on my friend's wall, then suddenly my mom reply, Stop playing games, your exam are coming, go study now. I got so angry and I blocked my mom.
A few weeks later, my mom found out that she can't access to my profile. So she ask my did I block her? I reply yes. She got so angry and reply "What secret are you hiding?? are you posting P0rn? " then she ignore me and I cant' ask money from her.
Requesting help from whoever read this !! Help what shod i do??

You don't say how old you are, or whether you live at home or not, or paid for your computer or its internet access, or your classes. If you are at home, you must do as your mother commands, unless you're paying for everything (including your schooling yourself). Even then, you owe her the respect to follow her wishes. She must be worried about you. Does worrying her seem like a good thing to do?
If she really is angry, it's most likely because she feels you're doing something foolish--wasting time & money--which, if she is paying for all this, gives her another good reason beyond wanting you to do your best. And how are your grades? Do you have sloppy study habits? A history of slacking off?
Examine your motives, & hers. You may find she has a point.

I note that you didn't answer my questions.
Are you still living at home? Then she has say over virtually everything you do, as it is her home, & you are her daughter. As a minor OR a renter, you have no right to privacy except in the bathroom. Mothers have the right to read "secret" diaries AND to make sure you aren't doing anything immoral or illegal in her homed. That's just life. Don't say do anything you wouldn't want her to hear or see, & you'll all get along.

Yes, we have to obey our mom, but we should have time with our friends too, I was chatting with my friends thru my wall. then suddenly, my mom reply, every kept silent after that. I felt soooooo embarrassed !! Imagine this, If you are working, you are discussing with your colleague, then suddenly your mom appear at your office and say don't do this, don't do that, imagine how your colleague will think about you?

My instinctive reaction is to say... create a second facebook. Tell only your friends about it (explain the situation), use a picture you're not easily identified in and use that for most things.Unblock your mom on your current one. Use your other facebook profile for most things. She might figure it out, though.
Or think of this way - which is more valuable to you: your privacy or the money your mom sends you? You could try talking to her about it, but it sounds like you've tried.

Yes, I think this is a good idea. I have heard about people who do this, and it is not so uncommon. Some people even have different Facebook accounts for work people and their friends outside of work, if they are not comfortable with their boss knowing too much about their private lives, for instance. So it can be done, and I think it works quite nicely in situations like this.

I think she just wants to keep an eye on you of what you are doing with your friends and stuff... maybe you shoudl just leave your mother in the current facebook account so you won't hurt her feelings and open another one for your friends and stuff.

One of things that i have learned in my life is , Everyone in your life will get rid of you , will think of bad things for you , but parents are the only persons who will always thinking of your well being . Just express her that you want to spend some time in FB !

I dont think you should block your mom on Facebook. She is only trying to do the best for you! She must love you enough that she wants to be a part of your life. Instead of blocking her, consider talking to her about your private life. She only wants your approval!

People will come and go in your life and yet your Mum will always be there. Not only that but she is the ONLY one who will genuinely and sincerely care about you...no matter what. Your Mum is not controlling you or stalking you or spying on you...what she is doing is what every parent should do...She is being a good parent.
Anything less and she is not caring about you, she is a bad mother and she is right: everything she said to you is correct...you need to study and when you have passed all your exams, when you have grown up and become a responsible adult, only then will you have earned the right to act like grown ups do, only then can your Mum relax her vigilance

A relationship breakdown with a parent is hard,i understand how you feel and maybe you should have just said to your mum in the firstplace that you were not adding her as its a social network you want to use to chat etc just with friends,failing that you could add her again but go in your settings for your mum and adjust them so that only you can see them privately .

That's certainly the trouble with adding a parent on facebook or an authoritative adult in your life..It can go bad, obviously. They figure out much too much of your life and the little things. More than they need to know (such as you playing games). Maybe instead of BLOCKING her you could add her but with 'restricted access' - where she can't view your wall or photos (check your privacy settings, you can individualize settings for certain friends). Allow your mom to be your friend, just make it so she can't see every signle thing you're doing online.

Giving your mom access to you on facebook is almost like handing over your diary to read. some people just can't take it. Blocking them can seem a bit extreme but i guess it gets the point across.

....Hi Tenzho, Well my first comment got erased and I would like someone to please tell me why?? Otherwise I will probably make the same mistake again. Here goes, unblock your mom, have a respectful discussion with her, ask her to please respect your privacy. Try to ignore the messages. She is probably only trying to be a mother.
In the meantime you are in her charge. Take care. Good luck.

WellI thinks all moms gets too protected sometimes.. maybe when we become a parents we will understand...
BUT stalking you on your FB is kinda too much for much for me I think...
