What do you think about parents having facebook?

I think it is cool to have parent like that. Well, my mom doesn't have facebook account. She doesn't want to have it.

What I will say is that great! Because it is for them to enjoy the benefits of internet. Before there is no such particular socializing they join and ignorant about this things. So, I want to appreciate those parents have this...

Both my parents have facebook accounts and we are friends, even related in fb. I hear some of my classmates complaining about it though, that their parents comments and see everything that they've been doing. but i am totally fine with it since I don't really hide anything from them.

haha, my father let me open an account for him in facebook. it's kind of funny because my father is already 57 years old and he's jealous of his friends who have facebook. i didn't said anything to disappoint him from opening a facebook account. actually my brother was the one who registered his name and open an account for him. but i ended up uploading photos that he likes. that was about 6 albums with 30-90 photos in each album. i was just happy on how he reacts on the photos that we uploaded. he was like 'oh that's really nice, now my friends could see our photos, his house whom he had put his money for construction, etc.' it was fun. and what's more is that, i'm the one who is responding to the comments that he receives every now and then. my father has blurred vision and he is not that good in using our PC. however, i love him. i do favor for him without hesitation. he also makes me happy because of his reactions. amazed and stunned haha.

Well, since I moved I pushed my mom to open a facebook page to keep in contact more easy with her. She did but is like not. She never use facebook. She is a secretary and she say she go home so tired about computers that she really don't feel like to sit at home too. I wish she use her account more often. My mom is like one of my best friends. We have a very special relationship. I have other friends whose moms also have facebook and they are really cool with that. And I am talking about really young friends like you. I don't see anything wrong with it, but I thinks it depends of the type of relationship you have with your mom.

My daughters all pushed me to get a facebook and I'm over 50. My youngest is 17 and she has no problem with me having a facebook. Actually, I'm glad that I did get it because it has put me in touch with lots of friends that I otherwise would not get to talk to very often. And most of my friends are in my age bracket. I don't see it as being so strange at all.

Hi. infatuatedbby. I think that the parents having a Facebook account is okay just as long as the parent is not on Facebook starting any drama with their own child. My husband's aunt is on Facebook and she communicates with many of her family members. I think that this is alright. Any mature person or an adult should be able to have a Facebook account, just as long as they are being mature and utilizing Facebook to their advantage.

I have my mother on my face book as a friend and she is one for playing games.I think that there are a lot of people that have their parents as friends, as well as other relations that they have on there.I think that i am happy in my life and i know no matter what my mother would never but into my life on or off face book, so having her on there just like my children, do not change things at all to what i put on face book.

Hi Infatuatedbby, I think one way its healthy that parents are getting into latest generation stuffs and it will be great for them to meet their friends and relatives as well. That would be interesting.

I am lucky that my mom can barely check her email. Half the time she forwards to everyone or deletes something she wanted to keep and calls me for me to talk her through how to get to her trash can to pull up the deleted email. I finally got the same kind of email account that she has so i can easily talk her through the steps. My dad the computer programmer thinks that facebook and even cell phones are too intrusive into peoples lives and only carries a cell phone when he is driving, half the time he has it off and rarely even checks the voice mail. I have some of my aunts and uncles as facebook friends. As an adult and a professional, i am careful about what I post on facebook. I keep my opinions to myself, and do not post anything I would not want my boss to know about me.

hi, some parents here in my country also have their own Facebook accounts,and i have some relatives too having this account,but they just have this because they just wanted to show what's going on now to there life like updating pictures,and i think there's no wrong with that if parents also have this Facebook account.

I don't think that it's a big deal if parents have a FaceBook page. After all, you could block them from seeing your page. I am 49 and I have a FaceBook page, although my kids are 10 and 6 and they do not have FaceBook pages. My Mother is 80 and she has a FaceBook page, she loves it because she keeps in touch with the family and her friends. I think t's good for the older people to be able to have a FaceBook page. Not many older people understand computers at all. I believe we all should keep up with things in life.

My mom loves facebook. She is my friend on it and theres no problem for me since i don't have anything to hide. I'm just happy to teach her about it so she can talk to people which she wouldn't have even found if it weren't for facebook. I'm glad she uses it.

seriously? why shouldnt older people have facebook? Yes, i have facebook and so do both of my teenaged daughters and (gasp) i am even FRIENDS with them (so is their dad!) shocking eh that people who are in their 50s and 60s have a social life. i have mine for work - i have a lot of work related people on it plus family and friends. i have over 200 friends!

Its so awkward.. I been living abroad for almost 4 years now and i have been keeping in touch with friends around the globe through it. I was so surprised one day when my mom signed up for facebook and added me up. I dont like the feeling of havin my mom snooping around my facebook and reading my posts and such. I dont have a choice anyway, it might hurt her if i will decline her friend request. Some of my posts which i dont want my parents read or pictures i dont want them to see, i controlled my privacy settings.. Thanks to it that i could be able to hide some posts and control my page.. =)

My parents have/had facebook. My mom still does. And my dads account despite him having passed on is still open. And yes they are my friends! I dont find it weird that they are....even my granddad does. I think people just need to use a little discretion on what they post or say on facebook. Rule of thumb...if you wouldnt want your mom or an employer to know dont post it on facebook. i have WAY more of an issue with someone under the age of 16 having facebook. Makes it SO easy for predators to get pics and data and people share WAY too much personal information.

I don't have any problem with that because facebook is open for everyone regardless of age,and those who don't want their parents to find out what they do from facebook can easily avoid that by communicating in private instead of sharing all the aspects of their lives on their walls,so smart people shouldn't have any problem with their parents having Facebook accounts.

I think it's okay for a parent to have facebook as long as they don't go snooping their children's profiles. I think that we forget that parents as well have friends and lives, and they too have friends that they haven't seen in a long time and they get happy when they see a friend request from them. I don't have a problem with it as long as they don't break their child's privacy.

I'm 17, and my parents are both in their late 40's. They both have facebook account, and yes they're in my list of friends. Same with my other friends and school mates. I'm actually fine with it. They actually use it for communicating with their former classmates and co-workers, not to stalk my account[or maybe they do? I don't have to hide anything anyway], which other teenagers are afraid of. And also sometimes, I use it to get to know my friends parents more. ^_^
