MIL never posts anything but my mom comments on everything I do and she sounds like a Hallmark card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269996 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 16:24:04 +0000 pui 2269996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have my mom, my dad and my MIL on Facebook. My stepdad and FIL do not have Facebook.</p> <p>My dad mostly posts easy-going fun things like pictures from events he goes to and such. My MIL doesn't really post anything, only really "likes" stuff and rarely comments. My mom can sometimes occasionally politically-slated stuff (and she and I have very opposing views) but I mostly just ignore it. IMO Facebook is for fun. I don't want to get in to some flame war over Facebook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269977 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 15:42:38 +0000 simplyfelicity 2269977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but they very rarely post anything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269964 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 15:25:45 +0000 .twist. 2269964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom doesn't have FB but I am friends with my IL's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269951 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 15:04:55 +0000 MrsB2012 2269951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents don't have fb. I have my MIL and SFIL on my fb but I was getting extremely annoyed as my MIL started sharing every single picture I posted. ( Be it of my kids, or even just a pic of me!) I eventually ended up restricting them so they can't see anything on my page except my profile pics ( which I wish I could restrict as well. ) I want to unfriend them or block them completely, but the very odd time I use it to send my MIL a message. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269948 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 15:03:07 +0000 birdofafeather 2269948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. My dad never posts or logs in really and my mom is pretty benign or posts things to my wall about news. Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269942 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 14:55:22 +0000 littlebug 2269942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was, back when I had an active facebook, and it was totally fine. I was also friends with my ILs and that was not. I closed that account when MIL started tagging herself in my pictures of D. I have a new one and I have like 10 friends, mostly people I worked with in Philly before we moved back to Central PA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269939 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 14:51:46 +0000 BadgerMom 2269939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. With my mom and MIL. MIL only uses it to see pictures/videos of her grandchildren. And although my mother has an account she likes to proclaim that she "doesn't use facebook," (in a very superior tone, of course) but then proceeds to get annoyed when her friends tell her about how cute her grandson's picture was yesterday and she doesn't know what they're talking about. I just roll my eyes.</p> <p>PS. I laughed out loud at your dad posting about camel toe. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269936 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 14:41:48 +0000 mrsjyw 2269936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep my mom doesn't post much and just uses it to view our posts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269927 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 14:35:34 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2269927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269828 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 13:18:21 +0000 Synchronicity 2269828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm friends with my mom, who rarely posts, and my dad doesn't have an account. I am also friends with my grandma, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269824 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 13:14:29 +0000 erinpye 2269824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269819 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 13:11:48 +0000 psw27 2269819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm friends with my mom, MIL and FIL. My dad doesn't have it. My FIL is sooooo annoying on there with the article sharing and the ranting and constantly stealing pictures I post and sharing them to his random people... ugh. I've tried to politely tell him to stop but its useless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269793 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:59:14 +0000 illumina 2269793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. The only thing they share is their photos...they never update their status. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269786 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:54:15 +0000 Jess1483 2269786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes to my parents. But my dad is literally friends with only me (he thinks it's a waste of time, but can download pictures of the boys this way). My mom posts on occasion, and often photos of my LOs, but I can't think of an issue on which I disagree with her, so I'm never annoyed. </p> <p>My ILs don't have FB, though they occasionally go on my SIL's (she lives at home) to see things I've posted. Mostly I use 23Snaps to share photos with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269782 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:51:04 +0000 LAZB 2269782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both are fb friends with my parents, but only dh is fb friends with his mom. He actually forgot she was on there, but she wrote him an email the other day referencing something he posted, so I guess she actually looks at it sometimes.<br /> We are both fb friends with each other's siblings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269780 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:49:34 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2269780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I had a FB account I was friends with my ILs; my parents aren't on FB. My FIL and SMIL would like or comment on pics/posts that includespite DH, which was sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269776 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:44:21 +0000 Adira 2269776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am. My mom only joined FB to be able to see the pictures of the kids I post. She doesn't really post much herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269775 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:43:58 +0000 MrsKoala 2269775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am but sometimes I wish I wasn't. My dad comments on EVERYTHING on my FB and IG. Drives me crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269773 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:41:17 +0000 snowjewelz 2269773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL what?! </p> <p>I am... My dad never posts and my mom just pictures mostly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269772 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:40:57 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2269772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, both DH and I are friends with my parents and my ILs. None of us post anything particularly inflammatory and mostly use it for pictures of the LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269765 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:35:04 +0000 twodoghouse 2269765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, my parents, MIL (FIL just uses MIL's account and swears he hates Facebook, ha!), aunts, uncles, etc. I have a few relatives who post really incendiary political and religious stuff so they are blocked so they don't show up in my feed anymore. Other than that, no one posts anything too weird and everyone appreciates the chance to see pics of my LOs on there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269763 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:33:43 +0000 Truth Bombs 2269763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. But they never post much of anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269762 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:32:41 +0000 BSB 2269762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG! Luckily, no, they don't have FB accounts. I don't think they know what FB is.</p> <p>I am friends with the MIL and FIL. The inlaws and DH's family do have the opposite political views as me so some of them are hidden. I'm sure I'm hidden for some of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269760 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:31:31 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2269760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm friends with my mom and my in laws (they have a joint account, lol). My MIL shares the occasional racist/ rude thing that alarms my husband. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269754 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:24:37 +0000 ms.line 2269754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was friends with my mom on Facebook, but she died a few years ago and I deactivated her account. My dad isn't on Facebook, so no issue there. I actually have my MIL blocked on Facebook, because she's nuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269751 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:23:20 +0000 avivoca 2269751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am. They don't put up anything inappropriate, but we did go through a period of time where my mom tagged me in photos she wanted me to see, like pictures of her new haircut. I had to put an end to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269750 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:23:18 +0000 Mae 2269750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol! Yes I am. My inlaws too. I mostly use Facebook as a way to share photos of LO for the grandparents at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269749 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:22:41 +0000 DillonLion 2269749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not anymore! We had a big issue with it so they are both blocked permanently. It is better for our relationship if I can't see the weird crap they post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-fb-friends-with-your-parents#post-2269747 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:22:38 +0000 lovehoneybee 2269747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I have both my father and stepmother hidden so I don't see their posts. </p> <p>I'm also friends with my mom, MIL/FIL, and pretty much all of the extended family. I rarely post anything but occasional pictures of E, though....most of our family lives in other states, and don't see E much (if at all). </p>
