No way, I tell my mom about Facebook every day, she knows all about it and she has zero interest in it. I've seen other people's parents on it before, hey if that's your thing go for it. I don't think I would feel comfortable with my mom seeing all the stuff I do on Facebook, not that she'd be surprised, just maybe embarrassed for me.

Do my parents use facebook? A better question might be do my parents use a computer, lol! NOT! However, I do know lot's of people their ages that do. Mom is in her 70's. I am a parents and grand parentmyself. My daughter got me hooked on both mylot and facebook. I think she likes having me around and online...The obsession is worse than that even, lol am a member at more sites than I can count, lol)! But to answer the question, no I would not be freaked out if I saw my mom or MIL online or on facebook. Actually I'd be impressed. But it's not gonna happen.

My parents use facebook, it isn't so bad. If you don't want them to see private stuff just write private messages. Hopefully your friends don't reveal too much on your wall for your parents to see. I am also a parent, 29 years old and I use facebook regularly. I love the site. I think you can restrict your friends on facebook from seeing certain things on your facebook page. Check out your applications.

I wish my parents would use any social site. They are too afraid that their identities will be stolen. If someone wanted to steal their identifies they wouldn't need to go to a social site to do it. They won't even go to my site to see videos or photos. I wish they would.

Honeslty what you be freaked out about if your mom or dad had a facebook account. The most they are going to do is check your pictures, friends, and comments. In all that is what facebook is about but if my mom got on facebook to comment me all the time or that poke me crap then i would have a reason to be freaked out.
