What age would your kids not want you using their Facebook account?

<p>Question about Facebook?</p>

<p>How old do you think they would be when they would not want you logging in as them and using their Facebook account to post things and click the “like” button on stuff?</p>

<p>I’m not talking monitoring it as a parent - I’m saying using it on their behalf.</p>

2

<p>i don’t understand why anyone would do that. My kids would never be OK it.</p>

3

<p>Never…</p>

4

<p>Why don’t you have your own Facebook account for that?</p>

5

<p>Edited because I misunderstood: I would never log in as my son. For one thing, I don’t know his password. Also, I have my own facebook page.</p>

6

<p>never…</p>

7

<p>I am also in “never” land.</p>

<p>I agree, never! My 13-year-old is as sweet as they come, but she would be horrified if I’d ever done that.</p>

<p>My 16-year-old does have the habit of leaving his Facebook page up on the computer screen, and I don’t hesitate to look. So I guess I am a snoop.</p>

<p>7 years old! My dog wouldn’t even like it!</p>

<p>I have out of town friends where the husband has a facebook account and he was my high school friend. His wife (now also our friend) refuses to get a facebook account, but liked to get on his and post things. She would sign her name to them. I thought it was odd and I didn’t really like it. He finally told her to get her own account and stay off of his (she did not get one).</p>

<p>Really bad parenting to reach a long, bony finger and “like” something as if the child is speaking. Rather, parents should teach children to protect the online accounts they create.</p>

11

<p>This is a very strange question.</p>

12

<p>

</p>

<p>That really sums it up well, and my thoughts.</p>

13

<p>MOWC, I have a friend like that, too. I understand her reasoning (she teaches college and doesn’t want to have the issue of not friending her students), but you can always use a bastardization of your name so they don’t find out or just set the boundary that you don’t friend your students. I don’t get the big deal. Anyway, I never really know who I’m talking to on there.</p>

14

<p>At birth.</p>

<p>Or maybe even earlier.</p>

<p>One person pretending to be another on Facebook is just creepy.</p>

15

<p>I also greatly dislike the couples I know that share an email account. Seriously. Grow up and get your own.</p>

16

<p>Why would you ever log in as your kid? That’s weird…although on occasion, D’s friends will hack her account and post something funny.</p>

<p>When I received a Friend request from her, I had to check with her to make sure it wasn’t just her friends punking her!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>In dog years or people years?</p>

<p>I know several people who log in as their pets. At least I assume it’s the owners who are posting and not the pets…</p>

18

<p>Never. Haha why not just make?</p>

19

<p>Another vote for never here. Why would anyone want to do that or have someone do to them?</p>

20

<p>Never. I even ask if I can tag them in a picture they know I took…</p>
