Why parents shouldn't be on facebook (especially really old parents) - clark.dll - Jun 13, 2014

My parents aren't on FB, but my aunts are! Wtf? here's a list of things they do.

  • They like everything

  • they often forget their comments are visible to EVERYONE.

  • they right things like "Wow what a handsome lad!" or "You get your looks from your aunt!"

  • they frequently post nonsense that makes no sense to anyone

  • they over use lol and exclamation points

  • they'll point out when you're doing something more mature (drinking, or smoking)

  • they grave dig, posting on shit that's two or three years old



I think seniors should get their own FB.

I think it all depends on the person. My mom has a FB and she doesn't do what most other parents do, she rarely likes stuff and she posts funny crap from time to time.
I guess it all depends on the person.

I don't but then everytime I see them they say "When are you going to add me on Facebook".

I just smile and hope they piss off

Yes some parents are cool, but some are outdated and clueless.

OP this is exactly what my mum does. Annoying and embarrasing as fuck lol.

You just have to learn to stop giving a fuck.

They're gonna use it, no sense in bitching about it.

I remember the good old days of FB back in 09 when it was just popular enough everyone used it, but not so popular the whole world revolved around it.

Who cares man... I got a uncle that's 58 years old. He dresses like a teenager... he is a stay at home husband. His wife works and she makes the money. He just watches tv and takes care of the kids and cleans the house.

All of my cousins, aunts, uncles are on FB and they have no privacy. They post everything... even the drug houses they bought and are using to grow weed. They post it on FB and I am dumbfounded how they're not arrested for this... I mean it's been 4 years. They brag about how much weed they have and how much they sold and what they got for it. They take pics of their weed plants and the money they made all flatten out... spreading the cash.

Good thing I don't use facebook. I don't see why so many people do.

Who even uses facebook anymore, I only use it to speak to faggots in my school if I can't get hold of them through their phone and to watch vines.

It's a handy way to keep up to date with everyone. It's great for event planning and just general socializing.
