Facebook-delisting, changing status

Well, this would be an interesting topic to ask my sisters --those that have much younger children.

I'm sure the 3rd sis, closest to my age is relieved her kids are adults now. She and hubby planted the Internet surfing/email computer in their living rm. To increase transparency of Internet surfing activities when kids were younger.

Catriona, maybe one day decades later, you'll let your brother know that you were on the lookout for him. At this time, it might explode in your face if he knew what you did to monitor him. It takes awhile for siblings in some families to realize..siblings (those with healthy relationships, either close or distant) are one another's friends --for life. Then he will appreciate it..

The main computer I used when I was in high school was sitting right next to a computer that my dad was always on. He usually was aware of what was up to - I never had to give him my passwords to anything, but given that I was right next to him - it was a given that my screen did get read on ocassion.

I guess my point is that - it's one thing to sit with your kids and go through their facebook page together and discuss it... but it's completely different to require that you have their passwords so that you can go through it completely. Do you sit at the door with a stethoscope when your kids are having slumber parties? If they have a penpal, do you take their letters and read them?

Oh, my brother still finds me a meddling..... whatever, but I am the one that he turns to when he's got a problem or needs something. And he'd go through the roof if I ever told him that I was doing that stuff.
