[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry. At the very least, can you ask her to not post any pictures of you, old or new, for privacy reasons? The older generation is still working out the novelty of social networking and her fb friends who are her age are probably doing the same thing.

My mother also comments on every post I make with what she thinks is a funny (but it isn't) joke, but she only checks every couple of weeks so she winds up forcing my old posts to the top of the timeline with her embarrassing comments. I cringe but bear it. I know you have it much worse.[/quote]

+1, except my Mom thinks she's a social networking guru, so there's no way to gently explain to her any sort of etiquette. And she has friended all my friends. *sigh*[/quote]

We must have the same mom!  Mine went back and friended all of my old high school friends, along with some from this area that she has met when visiting here over the years.  She constantly comments on their posts as well.  The humiliation basically keeps me off Facebook.  I haven't posted in six years.  I did happen to be on Facebook to check a group page and saw that she had posted a terrible picture of me from high school and I immediately messaged her to take it down.  I actually think she does all of these things to get my attention.  UGH!!!!![/quote]

Why are you humiliated that she's friended your friends?
What is the problem  here? It seems like you all are in middle school in some secret club that  your parents infiltrated.  Why is she not allowed to post?

I see things daily like what you are mentioning..both generations posting, pictures of their parents and their parents posting pictures of them.  Thet both comment. Where is the problem?

Are YOU the problem?[/quote]

NP. It’s pretty cringey for PP’s mom to friend all her old high school friends and comment on their posts all the time. It’s also embarrassing for her to post an terrible old photo of PP on some group page. Not sure what you don’t understand about that.[/quote]

Again,  why is it cringey? Serious question. They have a FB page. She knows them. They know her. They either accepted her as a friend or friended her- probably a Fzb suggestion that popped up or she saw them and thought " Oh that's Jennifer! I saw her grow up!" .  They post pictures or whatever.  Is there a demographic boundary around who can like a post? Are you grownups or what? [/quote]

So this topic has obviously triggered you pretty badly, judging by the sheer number of comments you’ve made. I’m guessing you’re an older mom/MIL who does this kind of stuff on FB and you’re feeling kind of defensive about it.

All I can say is, if you don’t get it, you don’t get it. It’s weird to constantly comment on posts of people you essentially only know as a “friend of a friend”, especially from like 20 years ago. You need to dial it back.[/quote]
