FaceOff!

I'm sick and tired and I'm not going to take it any more! I am not amused but I am feeling abused. It's all the OMG my Mom's on facebook and she friended me crap. I guess Dad's are included but they seem to be less the brunt of the joke. Suddenly the twenty somethings and their followers think Mom is invading their territory and lowering their coolness factor,

I've never seen any of my friends bother their kids or their kids friends on facebook. Of course, they are my friends thereby making them too smart to do that. Frankly, I rarely even read my kids status updates. I'm not on facebook for that. If I want an update I use the phone. You see we have our own lives hard as it is to believe. We are not on facebook to spy on our kids.

For arguments sake, lets say there are those out there who do friend their kids friends and who join in to their kids conversations or worse. You see the problem is that "the kids" feel they need to worry because now Mom will know whatever it is they don't want Mom to know. To that I say "Oh grow up!" You're over the legal age and you're living on your own for heavens sake. It's time to own whoever it is that you are and if Mom scares you then the problem is with you not your Mom.

Then we have what I call the embarrassment factor. It's our right as parents. So if you get embarrassed by something good ol' Mom did or said on facebook I say more power to ya Momma! My kids are immune. I'm not sure what I would have to do to embarrass them. I am however up for the challenge. My kids actually revel in the family crazy. I brought them up right!

So to make this short rant even shorter, cut it out. Stop making out like your parents are hopeless when it comes to social media or anything else for that matter. Trust me when I tell you that anything you've done, we've done and we did it better!
