^you appear to be a dumb-shit who doesn't do his homework... or maybe you're just another alias, who knows... i think i'm becoming paranoid... anyway, i wouldn't consider being my mom's facebook friend, and we have a pretty good relationship too... but some things just aren't meant to go together... actually i suppose i could do facebook now that i've pretty much cleaned up my account, although i'm sure she could find something to bug me about... even if they could figure out how to access such a site, they still have no way of knowing that i frequent it (the info is available to them, but again, they don't know where to find it). and coming on here is not the sort of thing that they would do for their own entertainment...
for me it's about freedom rather than a place to hide. a place where i can step outside of all the boxes that everyone who knows me has placed me in. there are very few people i've known in my life who i would be comfortable them knowing all the shit that hip forums peeps know about me. simply because most people can't handle me. and i was completely up front and honest with my parents about who i am way back when... and i haven't talked to them in over 5 years, and i'm sure i'll never talk to them again. or know when they die... and the thing is, i really don't care. because i am not defined by my family. i am not defined by the love i receive from external sources. i simply am me, and if people can't handle that, then they aren't gonna stick around in my life very long. and that's why i'm not very down with family. but i've hijacked this thread long enough... sorry guys!
Methink's Your'e All Living In ....."Laa Laa Land"...If You Really....And Truly Believe ThatThe Internet Is Totally "Inclusive" To Your Generation........And Totally.."Excludes"..People From Any Other Generation......(parents) Get Real.........The Internet Is Open To Anybody Who Can "Read And Type"........ If Your Parents Are Capable Of "Both Of The Above"........... Then They Sure As Hell Are Capable Of Reading Your Facebook Ramblings... No Secrets There.......O.K.???... Cheers Glen.
Um, I guess I'm a spoiled little punk, too, because I believe that parents owe their children something. Unconditional love, for one thing. They don't owe them video games, cell phones, or any of that crap, though.
dude, did you even read the OP? there isnta good relationship with the mother unit there, so theres no reason for her to be a friend on facebook or whatever. its not a generational bias thing, its an "i barely know you anymore and dont really want to at the moment" thing
of course anyone is capable of being anywhere on the internet. that doesn't mean you have to "friend" them on myspace or facebook or hipforums or whatnot. i just think it's kinda interesting the way SOME families (and especially parents) seem to think that their kids OWE them something... like continued presence, or a place in their life or something. isn't that the point of being individuals? making your own choices? i dunno... i'm not trying to offend anyone here, maybe i'm just extra fucked up about family, but it seems like there are unrealistic expectations from a lot of people in regards to their family.
VERY VERY VERY TRUE, however my Stepmom and my dad are number 1 and 2 on my myspace. However we are a pretty open and supportive family.
my brother, sister and stepson are all on my myspace and facebook friends. there are people out there who know way more about my lifestyle than they ever expected. my MOM knows more than she'd like. at least she hasn't discovered MY pictures, like she did my sister's. AHAHAHAHAH. dumbass.
my mum would never facebook me cos she can barely use a computer, or any other technological device for that matter. she is the most techno-retarded person in the world. however i do have my uncle on facebook and 2 of my cousins who are quite a bit older than me.
My mom is my number one on MySpace, but neither of us use Facebook really. A lot of my family is on MySpace, and we're all friends. Haha, of course, my mom is also my best friend, and we do everything together. Even on Pogo... lol! I love her. My father, however, did add me, and I only saw him a handful of times in my life. I don't care if he reads what I write, because it's not like it matters - he'll never have the REAL me, and this is just the internet. No big deal, you guys.
