I friended both my kids as teens on Facebook. I’ve also been deleted, blocked, re added and blocked again……was that way for a while. Had settled down now

its a good story to read

Absolutely be friends with your children on facebook, This is also advised by the police and by schools and other organisations. Parents should know who their children are friends with and this includes social networks. Children should use facebook appropriately and there is not need for hiding what they are doing. It is about mutual respect.

  I am with you! I am friends with lots and lots of relatives; young and old and close and a far away!

I believe kids need some space and privacy, so I am not a friend on facebook, I thinks that is just tooo much. Thank you for sharing your story.

I think well I hope by the time my children who are currently 2yrs and 5 months that Facebook won’t be only form of communication because I feel that it will be if you ain’t on a computer I ain’t talking. English will be in written form only not spoken. I hope this isn’t true as I rather my children talk to me directly not via Facebook

I’m friends with my kids on f/b..My Son is 15years old and excepted me as a friend..funny as it sounds but yes as a friend and the only time i say anything to him on his page is ” oi ” and that’s because of the bad lingo used , his sisters and Nan can see that ,not exceptable in my books..the reply i received from my son was ” Sorry Mum ”. other then that our f/b relationship is good.
