<p>WildChild re-tweeted it from my Twitter. (God-now THERE’S a sentence for you!)</p>
<p>Garland…when my kids were in HS (as was the case for your kids too), there wasn’t an option for HS kids to be on FB. But they joined when they got to college. I joined FB a while later to connect with a group of parents. I am not friends with my kids on FB because I feel I’d be “listening” in as if listening to their phone calls. I don’t think they have anything to hide but it is their life and I don’t think I have to read their communications with their friends. That said, my two kids (now 20 and 23) are open with me and share frequently what is going on in their daily lives and that’s fine for me without my readings their communications with their friends. And come to think of it, I am not sure I want them to read my wall either because I joined FB specifically to join a private FB parents group (an offshoot from CC in fact) where we all discuss our kids a lot and I think my kids would die if they read it, LOL, and that we talk about kids with other parents. So, all’s well for me. I don’t think my kids tweet, and nor do I. I am not sure I want to add yet one more thing. And tweeting seems like a subset of what you can do on FB which is to have a message in your profile anyway.</p>
<p>I joined Facebook at my brother’s suggestion (he lives in England) and am really glad I did as not only is it a fun way to keep up with people who live far away, but I have reconnected with a couple of far flung friends that I had lost touch with as we and they moved over the years. I joined it only with the intention of keeping in touch with my friends and didn’t even tell my kids I had one. My daughter was quite put out when she found out I had a facebook that she didn’t know about, and I was quite surprised when she friended me as she had always said she thought it was weird when people had their Moms as facebook friends. I think it is an age and maturity thing. At 18 I don’t think for a moment she would have done it. At 20 she is maturing. Plus I think she has become wise enough to not post stuff on the internet that she doesn’t want others to see.</p>
<p>Best Onion video ever.</p>
<p>I don’t want to be my kids’ FB friend, and I don’t want them being mine.</p>

<p>S posted this video on his wall with the comment, “See I could send this as a message to my parents but I know they’ll see this on my wall…”</p>
<p>On my wall too…man, when my D first friended me, I was getting TMI…now? Not so much…But she LOVES the Onion.</p>
