My parents that is - both sit on it for hours. They have something to say about everything I post, never anything good either. I posted asking about a product I was looking for Marco asking if anyone knew where I could find it. I get nasty comments, messages even calls if I'm not home if I am they will come tell me. A lot of my friends like seeing what I cook and to get the recipes. I get nasty comments especially from my Mother. I tried being nice keeping her as a friend, but it's just beyond irritating hearing why are posting this crap, that's an ugly picture, and then not to mention when I post something about an issue she assumes it her (I wonder why or someone else in the house). I've had other people comment saying they are reporting the biatch that harrassing me. So I deleted and blocked them all on Facebook actually majority of my family I did.

Wow!! This is unreal. When someone from your own family treats you like this, you do need to get away and enjoy life on your own terms. Nobody should be ever treated like this and accept it, especially when it comes from your parents. Your family home life is definately a little weirder than most.

I am not into facebook as I don't like to see harsh comments from others but my sister really like to post in her wall and we her siblings will not going to make her feel down by giving a bad comment to her. So, I can understand how you feel and for me they should not do that. they should support you not condemn everything you wrote there. For some situation especially like this blocking them will be the good solution to stop the nasty comments from getting in you posts.

Oh my! Yes, enough is enough - I would have deleted and blocked them too! What have they said about it . . . surely they know by now that you did that?! No one needs comments like that on Facebook - and geez - no ones needs this from their own parents! My parents don't use a computer - heck, they don't even know how to type nor what Facebook is!

My immediate family is not on FB and I like it that way. If they were I would never tell them I was on FB, I like my privacy and this site just doesn't have it when you have your family on there to harass and comment negatively on everything. I get that enough in real life it seems. I think however they should have alittle more tact being that you're one of the most responsible daughter's I have ever heard of. You just don't deserve the way that your family treats you. I don't understand. I know my mom would say something about some of the things I post there too, she hates the fact that I take pix of myself and post them anywhere on the web. I do on Fb but not here, though as I "know" more of them on there than on here, right now. Perhaps later on I will be brave enough to post a pic of the real me on this site. :-) But anyways, they shouldn't say anything if they don't agree with your statuses, pix, etc. They are probably over reacting or just being too critical, they do need to use tact and be more supporting. For real. Did they get mad at you for blocking them? In my day at your age if my parents were on it, she'd probably stop talking to me. She did that so many times over the littlest things in the past it's not even funny. I mean some of the things I wasn't even guilty of. She heard something wrong that I said once, for example, but still blamed me after I explained what was really said! She couldn't get over herself or the fact that she was wrong. People can be ridiculous jerks sometimes. I just hate people. I don't have any family members on my list and my Aunt in FL keeps asking if I have a FB acct to let my cousin show us some photos. I'd rather see them via email. I don't really talk to any of my cousins and they do so it would only make me feel bad that they are all ignoring me. I already know they would do that in real life. One of them just says hello when she sees me but at least she says something.

I never experience this thing with my mom. She have her facebook account but she just use it to view pictures of our family. As to my children, I support them with their facebook activities. Like they change their profile picture, created a page or whatever they do, I will just like it. I make sure that we are also good friends aside from being a mother to them.

My mom loves to look at my facebook profile then "like" or "comment" in everything I posted. I am very thankful that all are complements and long cheesy advices that annoys me. I did not block her, thus I just hide all my post from her. :D anyway, I think it's better to block your mom. I don't think people would like to see negative things about you.

haha... I am so sorry for this reaction. Its just that i can only imagine how your mom was. I remember a friend whoalso had such a moter and well she would always comment on my friends page too even when we are oit.. We would post a food then her mom would comment and tell her towatch her diet!! Ah itwad just too much and well i can only think how hard it is for you. My mom nor my famil members were not really into my account stalking me so i am comfortable with using my facebook account.

My parents do not go on Internet, hence I do not face this problem. I don't think I'll like it when they comment on my post, or I should say I prefer not to add them as friends, otherwise they will know everything I do on Facebook, for example playing games, posting my current status or writing about my thoughts or feeling at the moment, etc. Did you talk to them about this before? Do you think they will stop commenting on your posts if you tell them so?

Fortunately none of my parent are on Facebook and I don't think they are interested anyway. Even if they were, they wouldn't really find anything to say about me though because I barely post things there.

I only have one of my cousins on my facebook and that's it. If there is something I think she may either be offended by or it might get back to the family I will make it where she can't see it. A lot of people have had problems with family and facebook. Sometimes it's best to just leave them off completely.

That sounds like the best course of action. My mother is computer illiterate. However, if she did know how to use a computer and was on Facebook, we couldn't be connected. I wouldn't want to hear the complaints about the things I like and what I post. I have a very different worldview than she does, and I'm certain that she would not be appreciative of much of the stuff I share on Facebook. As it is, my mother thinks that Facebook is some weird site... possibly quite dangerous if you should get too close (think of one of those cavemen-meet-fire scenes). She doesn't know quite what it is or what you do with it, but she's fairly certain that it isn't good. Honestly, I was sort of surprised that she was even actually aware of the site.

My son would probably agree with you on this one!! He is 16 and of the age where he finds us (his parents) rather an embarrassment I am not allowed to tag him in photos or comment on any of his status's! He has recently been to his prom on leaving school and some of his friends had put photos on from it; so that his older sisters who are all married and live 100 miles away could see the pictures I shared the photos with them, he banned me!!!! I have 2 grandchildren the same age as my son and their mum's (my daughters) are always making comments about them on Face book - I daren't make any comments about Jack!!

Well, that is very sad to hear it from you. But, I think that you are doing the right thing, just that, maybe you should have discussed this matter with your parents before blocking them, don't you think? If they keep on posting nasty comments on your posts after that, then only you block them. After all, they are still your parents and you should respect them. I am just giving my opinion, no offence.

Wow, that is so not cool of your mom. You did the right thing rather than defend yourself each time she make such comments because it will just prolong the issue; even if there's no issue to begin with. I'm also friends with my mom on facebook but she's got some sense that if I ever posted on my wall something that she finds offensive or what, she knows that it is proper to resolve it in person and not on facebook. Maybe your mom is just having some case of "trigger-happy commenting" and you just happen to be her preferred "object". At any rate, that doesn't justify what she did.

Wow, that's unfortunate. I would have done the same thing. My Mom is on Facebook but she doesn't really get it lol She mainly jumps on reads what everyone posts and looks at our pictures.
