[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a little surprised that the majority of people posting on this thread seem to have a big issue with others posting their kids' college acceptances on Facebook. Now that I'm at the age (46) where some of my friends have kids old enough to be college-bound, I like hearing about where they're going, just as I've enjoyed posts in recent years about their kids' athletic achievements, seeing pictures/videos of their musical performances, etc. I live far from many of my oldest and closest friends, and don't talk to them nearly as much as I used to. So I welcome these glimpses into their lives.

Maybe it's because I only have about 150 Facebook "friends." Pretty much every single person I'm friends with there is someone I genuinely know, value, and wish the best for. If I had 800 "friends" - including every co-worker, classmate, and kids' classmates parents - maybe I'd be a lot less interested in hearing about their kids' accomplishments.[/quote]

I posted on pg4 along your same lines.  I'm 44.  I really love knowing my friends kids accomplishments.  And I have less friends than you-- maybe 50.  But I know each and everyone of my friends.  Most of them have been around along time.  [/quote]
