[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised that a lot of people think the FB post is typical. When I was growing up, there was a clear boundary between parents and children and the two were never friends. Now, it seems that everyone is BFFs with their kids. I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing. I can see pros and cons on both sides of the issue.[/quote]

Before facebook posts, parents were leaving these kinds of messages on their kids voicemails, before that it was the answering machine, before that it was letters.

My mother is very much my mother, not my BFF, and we're "friends" on facebook.  It's wonderful because now, rather than having to sit down at her table for 3 hours while she shows me pictures she took of rocks on her latest vacation, she just shares the album on facebook, I can comment how great the photos are, and we can spend our time together actually talking rather than me going "Mhmm, yep, that's a pretty rock.  That's soooooome rock, Ma!"[/quote]

I agree re: photo albums, but to your other point, there is a huge difference between parents leaving their kids messages on voicemails, letters, emails, texts and publicly posting it on their FB wall for 500+ friends, family, classmates and co-workers to read. I guess it is a debate between private and public info and most kids these days like everything to be public and open to everyone. [/quote]

I guess I am an old fuddy duddy - I preferred when people's personal relationships were more private than they are now. Often times I see married couples having conversations on each other's Facebook walls. I need to get with the times I guess because I could never imagine doing that.[/quote]
