Do you?

Some times it feels like the only time I speak to them... They can be at friends... Or in the next room....

Do yours object to you speaking to them? Or do you have the kind of relationship where they're happy to have you as friends?

Mine are all okay with me... And I'd rather I had access to them thean not...

What do you think?

Well, not on Facebook (there I mostly embarrass them by tagging them in family photos that they would rather forget) but we 'chat' on World of Warcraft.

When Himself and I were mods on AOL we used to IM each other while we were 'working' (even though we were sat next to each other) so there has kind of been a precedent set (did I mention this week how sad I am? )

Yep. Mine are fine with it, but they're young. The eldest told me to GO AWAY the other day when I wrote "repeat after me "I'm the ants red pants" on her wall to try and get her to remember to be confident.

Have First Born as a friend and have the occasional comment passed between us but Tiddler refuses to have any member of the famiy as friends. She did have my sister but then blocked her much to the sisters disgust.

i'm friends with both of my girls and they also have G'ma and aunties/uncles in UK

i do have to remind them about using bad language on it from time to time (more from their friends) as G'ma nags me.....but other than that its all good

Only my eldest has an account on FB & we are not FB friends by mutual choice. I need my own space as much as he does.

definately, its a stipulation of them having facebook, no mum as friend , no FB

Ditto

Plus mine are at the embarrassed stage Might ask them if I can be their 'friend' for a laugh

Sally Simpson

How old are your kids though?

Older Teen boys, we need space

My mother is a facebook friend of mine. And sometimes I wonder why I did that. Sure. I may be 40 years old but sometimes, after a few drinks, you post stuff. Regret sets in and then you are reminded of that regret when your mother phones you a week later and asks "was that a hamster ?"

OK well, maybe not a hamster, but the point remains. Facebook friendship is for people in your life that you don't mind if they are privy to the odd mistake when pissed and in left in a cab with your iphone with nothing better to do.

My son is almost 18, we need our space too!
The youngest is only 12 & he is not allowed a FB account at this stage.

I want to see your facebook now! If only for the taxi photos

Margaret3

one is 19, i dont really care about her FB, i never look at hers, except sometimes at the pics, the other 12 and i scrutinize it quite often, however it can get a bit embarassing when i have to explain myself to 12 year old!
