<p>theGFG: How true. I can’t talk about most CC stuff to any of my friends in depth for many of the reasons you list, and my H and S aren’t interested either. I think they are grateful that I have found this outlet. Fortunately, I doubt that either of my kids will ever read my posts, since they can’t even be bothered to look at CC. </p>
<p>Hunt, however, was found out by Googling. I guess that none of us are safe!</p>
<p>One of my son’s professors figured out who I was when googling his (the professor’s) name and being curious as to why it was on CC. He asked my son if I was his mother, and son let me know. I was SO glad I had said nothing but good things about that professor!!</p>
<p>I’m on Facebook but only I have 2 friends! It’s kind of pathetic. I joined because someone from my college asked me to join to get info regarding a specific event. </p>
<p>My kids would NEVER let be be on their “friends list” because they don’t want me to see their profiles, and they would die if their friends saw their mom on their “friends list.” I like Facebook, though, and wish more of my adult friends would join. I could have fun sending people bumperstickers… just another way to procrastinate, like CC isn’t bad enough!</p>
<p>Just a note: at least while your kids are still in high school, I think you should insist that they periodically show you their Facebook sites. They may not realize how some of the stuff they have there could hurt them.</p>
<p>If my d forgets to log out of her facebook I peek at it… and I can link thru to her brother’s too. Sshhhhh… don’t tell! Haven’t seen anything shocking, thank heavens.</p>
<p>as a kid i would feel so violated if my mother snooped around in my facebook even if i didnt have anything bad in it. if she wanted to know she could just ask…</p>
<p>As someone just-past-kid and still-not-a-mom, I figure that if my employers and potential employers can (and DO… newsflash, college students trying to get internships…!!) access my facebook account, then I sure as heck wouldn’t have anything up there that I wouldn’t want my mother to see. Facebook’s public. You should consider it to be an open book… primarily because that’s essentially what it is.</p>
