He also says to me all the time, "I just don't understand why Larla sent me that picture of XYZ on The Facebook."

Um, she didn't send it TO you, she put it on her wall and you saw it in your feed. Just because you see it doesn't mean it's for you exclusively.

Love him , but the FBing is kinda rough.

When she started texting, she always signed off as if they were letters--it was sweet and funny getting texts that ended "Love, Mom"!

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.

+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*

Oh that is great!!

This is my aunt. My cousins were telling us how when she texts, it's is in proper letter format.

"Dear Micheal,
I hope you are well. I am writing to ask you to dinner on Sunday night...."

She constantly posts inane things, quizzes (if you were a fruit, what fruit would you be), games, way out there political stuff, comments on everything I ever put up. Now she has embraced throw back thursday and is scanning old pictures of me and my siblings (and our friends) and posting them. She must be stopped.
