tennesseeboy Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I have 3 grown kids. They have accepted me as a facebook friend. But I kinda feel like I am spying on them when I go to their pages. Anyone one else in this situation? They are 19, 23 and 34. All single. interesting....my daughter, a third year law student in new york, had me as a friend. When I offered some very constructive criticism, I found myself "unfriended" for a time. As she often has very good posts and posts lots of great pics of my grandkids, I learned to keeep my criticisms to myself when I was again "friended". As you can imagine its nice to be on as a friend, but the understanding is that you had better resign yourself to not being too judgmental.
DrDawkinstein Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I have two daughters aged 15 and 11 god bless and good luck raising girls in this new information age. i suggest locking them in the basement, away from any internet connection.
Gordio Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I'm not sure what kind of people you have as friends who use Facebook, but I don't really see how it is used to pick up girls. For awhile I had a facebook and myspace page, but it seemed myspace was more for random hookups and things like that, where facebook seems more adult and a better tool for staying connected with friends and family, not just having the coolest page or the hottest pics...... just my $.02 I know 2 couples that their marriage ended in divorce thru facebook. The one guy at my work & one couple at my wives work. In both instances, the wives got reconnected with an old boyfriend thru facebook, started seeing them behind their spouses back & eventually left their husbands for their old flame. In the case of my friend at work, his wife left him & they had 3 little kids. left them too. Nice huh?
Fan in Chicago Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 god bless and good luck raising girls in this new information age. i suggest locking them in the basement, away from any internet connection. Thank you. So far, so good. As for the computer, we have it in a room near the family room so we can monitor what they are doing. I have resisted getting them a laptop or a computer in their room. We don't often go to stare at their screen, but the placement was meant more as a deterrent to unacceptable behavior on the net.
