Facebook-delisting, changing status

[ny biker]

I know my little brother is creeped out by having the rest of his siblings friending him. I told him how to put us in a separate family group & limit what we see.

I'm definitely not a teenager, but if my Mom was on facebook, I certainly don't want her to friend me.


She saw me instant message my little brother at 2 am last night, and promptly called me to demand that I go to sleep and give me heck for my eratic sleeping schedule.

My boss and her boss are both on my friends list, so I can't do much with FB during work hours, except at lunchtime.

I figure the teenagers can always unfriend me later if they want, and I won't be offended. Mostly I think this is an easy way to share photos with them from holidays and stuff.

I wouldn't friend the children of people who aren't related to me.

Oh my Andrea, what a horror story!

I am "friends" with my cousins kids on FB, but they are in their early 20s and so it isn't that big of a deal. My nieces and nephews are also on my FB list. Two are still in middle and HS and those two, I don't get as much info on. I don't want to know as much about them. The others are closer in age to me than their parents/my siblings. So they have been friends of mine long before FB. My sister though, the mother of the HS age daughter, has not "friended" any of her daughters friends, but several of them have sent her requests. I think she does the same thing, just sets it to not get that much info from them.

I keep up-to-date with folks this way, and can share photos and videos much easier. My sister called me the other night - did you know "Nephew" had moved to Chicago?? Me - yes, Her - How did you know?, Me -Facebook. Then two more family things, two more times I did know and knew through FB. So, all and all, I like it and am glad I joined.
