Apparently my parents have joined facebook.  I really can't bring myself to accept their friend invite.  They are not my friends.  They are not nice people.  And I like having them at arms length (or farther away).  I don't like the idea of them having so much access to my life and my friends.  I suppose I could give them some sort of limited

Sounds like a definite NOTHING to me. I couldn't find a limited profile thing either. Don't let them limit your freedom on Facebook, not cool. Yeah, wait till they bring it up but maybe have Aaron help you figure out an appropriate thing to say explaining why you didn't let them in, i dunno...

I am seriously unwilling to hinder my communication with you and others for their crap. And we're going to need journals like this after the girls are born!

Sarah, your mother and I love you more than you could ever possibly imagine. Always have, always will. With as much as you already love your daughter, it astounds me to think you believe we don't love you the same way

You kinda proved my point exactly didn't you?

I was concerned you'd find something to pitch a fit about, and you pitched a fit about that. You should mention that while you're showing my journal to your friends looking for validation. I'll be moving on with my life and my family.

O h I get it.

THIS is why I "friend only" my posts now. I SHOULD go back adn friend all the ones from the beginning onward but that is a lot of work, like 9yrs of journaling.

My parents once said that they don't read my LJ b/c it would be an invasion of my privacy (nevermind that I post it on the INTERNET for everyone to see...... uhh yeah).

Was this post public???

[dislocator3972]

Yep. I very rarely hide posts, either friends only or private, though I'd love to see the fit they'd throw over some of those!

I've been wondering about locking this down. I just can't see running or hiding stuff that is seriously none of their business. If you don't like what you see in a journal, don't look. It's no different than seeing a journal on a table and reading it, or eavesdropping on your kid's phone call and getting mad about what you hear. If I want to process, I'll do it here. If I want to talk to you, I will. Interrupt the process and you'll probably not like it. Too bad.

My parents are great, but I totally did NOT add them when they friend requested me on Facebook. It was just too much. I don't think any offense was taken, and none was intended.. but some areas of a child's life need to be private, even on a social networking site!

I think I miss FB being .edu only.
