The oops aside, I'm struggling why you would post something like that on someone's public page? Isn't that message better delivered privately?


Because I am an uncool 50 year old mom and grandmom. I don't know all the unwritten Facebook rules. I don't even pretend to.


I would be mortified if my mom wrote something like this on my Facebook wall. And not just the Netflix and chill part. Is this common for parents to do now?


I think parents have been mortifying their teen and adult children for a millennia.

+1. Since the dawn of time...

Did you brazen it out? Or did you back pedal?


Honestly, the comments were so funny! I just sat back and watched. But I was mortified! One of my other kids sent me a link to the meaning of "Netflix and chill" after they say the post. I about died!

Yes "Netflix and chill" is a term specifically used by millenials that means come over and we'll hook up. Look up all the memes

+1. "Want to come over and watch a movie in my dorm room" was the "let's pretend like we are going to do something other than hook up but we both know we're just hooking up" phrase back in my day. Every generation has one.
