Quinch Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Is it okay to block my dad on facebook? I know he's on there because he's on my cousin's friend list but I don't know if he knows that I'm on there and, to be honest, I would rather keep it that way so thought I would block him as a pre-emptive measure. The last thing I want is a friend request from him because I wouldn't feel able to refuse.
Peaceful Guy Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 when i first read this my reaction was like, of course.. but then, would you avoid him at a party? i mean, specifically, why don't you want him to see your facebook page? okay, before you answer, ill say this.. if your young, and hes still got some type of control of your social life, then yeah, block away! but if your an adult, then there should be no shame in your decisions.. drunk or silly as they may be!
purpleone Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 parents and social life dont mix. block him. its ok when they invent familybook u will add ur dad
Karena85 Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 What I did was add my parents but customise their settings so they see only a "limited profile". They can't see any wall posts, can only see selected photo albums and so on.. That seems to keep them happy. I don't know how well you're dad knows facebook but my parents don't seem to notice I've done it. It is ok to block you're parents too, I'm not trying to hide anything from mine I just got sick of the interrogations everyday ("Whose this boy leaving posts on you're facebook, ooooo, is he you're boyfriend".)
dgiirl Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Are you underage? Do you still live with your parents? If so, then you should not block him. As a parent, he has the right to know what's going on in your life. If you are an adult living on your own, I'd block away!
Nynn Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 hmm tricky one!! If my parents did go on, then I'd 'befriend' them, as well, I'm an adult .... or block them... whatever I want. FB didn't exist when I was at school... but if it had, I know the sort of stuff I'd have put on there and I definitely wouldn't have wanted them as my friends... I think I'd have done as a pp said... befriend them but limit their access. Anyway... you shouldn't have anything too discriminating on there... you never know who's looking!!
tigereyes1428 Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 as a parent if my child blocked me - i would be very suspicious saying that i have been warned to stop leaving my 12 year old messages saying " love you baby" lol
