Don’t ya love it when your kids forget you are friends with them on Facebook….?

Being friends with Mama is a requirement in order to get a Facebook account around here.  You want privacy…?  Get your own apartment.

    I had to laugh…if I’d had FB in school…I’m sure I would have been guilty too. Sometimes I’m glad that I’m ancient.

    I told mine the same thing…The day you move out and buy your own computer and pay for it to run, feel free to unfriend me.

    Oh my did I laugh long and hard at this one! It took my daughter a few missteps to realize I could see when she was on FB at times she wasn’t supposed to be. You are the best!!!! Going to remember this next time miss teen tries the late night status update.

    Oh well. It always pays to do the math, huh? 🙂

    Here’s something for you to look forward to: when your boys are in college, they may not take and post a lot of photos on Facebook. But the girls they know WILL take and post a lot of photos. And they’ll tag your boys. And you, of course, will be Facebook friends with your boys. And so you will get the see the photos in which they’re tagged. And you will be grateful for Mark Zuckerberg.

    At least that’s how it’s worked for me. 🙂

    That’s awesome! Way to go! The only other thing that beats that is embarrasing them by being gross (like PDA in front of them and their friends) Loved doing that to my teen, still love doing that. It’s good for them to see that we are still in love after 16 years.

    I love this, and I’ve seen parents catch their kids on FB when they were in class at school, BUSTED!
    And I have to give a little credit to your son, such elegant prose when he could have started, “what’s up with this a, b and c crap on the math homework?”
    You doing something right 🙂
