My kids would kill me. It’s just not allowed, I have been told. “No parents on Facebook!!!!”

I’ve heard about the revolt by teens against parents joining. But the way I look at it, parents have a lot more to lose. We have more history, more pictures in which we could be tagged, more stuff we may not want “them” to know….
But who says kids should be allowed to own new media networking?

YA #1 dropped his jaw in shock that I joined Facebook, rolled his eyes, and had that look that said: “the world is going to hell in a handbasket”.
YA #2, although not totally in favour of it, has been most helpful and patient by teaching me the in’s and out’s of this new way to get out of doing work. He’s feeding me just enough info to shut me up but I’m sure he’s not telling me all the good stuff.
YA #3, she still thinks I’m kinda cool and wants me to “write on her wall”.

Maybe you should take a page from Bruce Frisko’s notebook, and get some local idiot to agree to tattoo your face on his arm (or a body part of your choice) if 500 people add you as their friend! Announce it on Live at 5, and off you go.

Ahhh Facebook. . .I find it a great source to of positive discipline, or pleasant reminders for my 13 year old. I can remind her to “eat her lunch”, “clean her room”, or “you’re grounded”, so all her friends know in advance of calling. I even like to leave positive notes like “honey, you are number one”, or “even though you are afraid to be seen with me, lets go for a walk down mainstreet together”.
Alas, most of my wall comments have been erased, but just the idea that I could inflict instant embarrassment is enough (for the moment) to help with child rearing.
Facebook has it’s negative side, but it does have utility.
