    OMG. You don't even like her! Stand firm on ignoring her request.

    You may not be able to avoid her rude questions in real life, but at least you can keep her from invading your online space.

    I do like her, but she's just a bit nosy. Her questions aren't rude, just a bit irritating.

    Ok :D

    The way I see it is, I don't invite her down the pub when me and my friends go out on the piss, so why would I invite her to the Facebook party? :mrgreen:

    Not that I use Facebook too much these days anyway - I got kind of bored with it a long time ago.

    And I'm only half-bothered by this. It's just a bit of a nuisance is all.

    You do realize there are security settings that control what certain people can and cannot see. I have everyone in my family in a group called family and they can't see half my shit.

    If you are on Facebook nothing is private that you post, say or do. I wouldn't be worried about your mom's friend. I'm on Facebook and I try not to post stupid shite just for that reason. I have a 15 year old niece who posts stuff that makes you want to cringe. If you're worried about certain people reading your posts you should rethink what you write because a lot more people than your mom's friend see that stuff.

    Will she actually use it? Both of my parents added me ages ago...and I think I've interacted with them maybe two-three times each on there....they never use it, and I highly doubt they just creep...but then, it's never really bothered me...I don't allow anything on my fb that I'd be worried about my parents seeing...I have co-workers on there too...asking for trouble to get carried away....
    Drunken pics = ok...
    anything incrimminating on any level = not ok :D

    It's not even just about my shit that she'll read/see, but she'll probably post a bunch of embarrasing photo's of me on there.

    valid point.
    a friend of mine's mom posted a jr. high pic of him and I got a copy before he untagged himself....He doesn't know I have it. I've been holding onto it for 3 yrs, waiting for the right moment to bust it out /photoshop it, whatever 8-)

    I signed up for facebook a couple weeks ago and right when I signed up my mom request to be friends. Also my sister wanted to friend me. I pushed ignore. I don't have FB to connect with family, I have their email addresses and phone numbers so I don't need them on my FB.
    I'll be back

    Those shouldn't be on fb.

    Not every picture has to be uploaded. Some basic discretion is a good thing.

    As a college student no, your parents are not your friends and should not be involved in your daily life, as an adult my parents are two of the best friends I have, they are more than welcome to come out drinking any time.

    Just block her altogether.

    http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=p ... dd666577b9

    That way she won't even see that you are on facebook and can't send friend requests.

    She has always told me, "I'm not your friend, I'm your mother", and now I have to remind her of that! :lol:

    Exactamondo.
    I never wanted that...I always wanted to be my kids best friend, and I've arrived now that they are adults.
    A mom can be a good friend and guide their child too.


    I would never ask them to be a friend on facebook though.
    I don't have an account and wouldn't want to intrude on their privacy.
    As I've always told them.. there are some things Mom's don't need to know...
    remembering this from my own youth.

    With that said if she wants to be your friend...don't hurt her feelings,
    tell her she may learn things that will upset her or you might feel like a
    Mama's boy.... whatever words you can come up with for her
    but don't hurt her feelings. Kids can really make a Mom's heart ache.
