Yea but you don't have to friend her.
- lsc 16y agoShe's your mother - I mean, I guess you really don't have to friend her? but it seems pretty rude to me. I didn't mind friending my mom. the problem that I hit was that facebook broke the compartmentalization between my mother and my stepmother. I love them both, but, uh, let's not mention one in the other's presence, you know? I mean, if facebook was providing me something meaningful I would have found a way to deal with it. But as it was I was mostly leaving my wall questions and my facebook mail unanswered; It really was better, I think, to leave rather than have people expect me to answer questions and then have those questions drowned out by mafiafarmcow updates and pictures of cute cats. (I know, you can filter some of the crap... but you know what? I already know how to use procmail. I already have a 200+ message a day email inbox, I don't need another.) So the thing with my mom(s) was sort of the last straw. Everyone has my email; I went from mostly ignoring my facebook to deactivating it.
