    Default Family on the Internet?

    Do you feel weird talking to parents and such over the internet? Is it normal for you? Or maybe you enjoy watching your family do things like this:





    It was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time.

    Parents on the internet in and of itself is pretty normal (I email mine fairly regularly), but parents on IM or Facebook or message boards would definitely be weird.

    In most situations this is how it should be. Or else we get the picture in Jessweeee's post.

    My mom has Facebook,
    I have Myspace,
    My step-dad wonders what the smurf Myspace and Facebook are,
    This makes a happy Will

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    I email/IM my family all the time. My mom has had a facebook for centuries, and keeps trying to force me into getting one. I don’t think so, Tim.

    I would never ever friend my mom on a social networking site. We email each other all the time and have a great relationship . . . but there needs to be SOME boundary. Thank god she barely can manage to send an email. :P I had to help her remember how to attach files recently. :P

    My parents and brother have facebook. Mom hasn't ever logged in. Dad doesn't seem to use it much. I usually talk to him over AIM anyways.
    my brother also has a twitter, but I haven't seen him use it hardly

    My mom is on my Facebook. What is she going to do, come hunt me down and whip me with a flyswatter if she don't like something? I post whatever I want and encourage any of my friends to do the same.

    Parents using internet is ok.

    Chatting to Parents via Internet..Too weird.. I'd rather call them or send them an email.


    I do have my mom on my facebook mistress, but on limited profile!

    I don't give out secrets on Facebook anyway, so I wouldn't mind friending them if they got one.

    Ha! *favs*

    I'm Facebook friends with my mom, my uncles, my aunt, 3/4 of my cousins, seven of my mother's cousins, five of their kids, and their father, my mother's boyfriend, my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law, 1/3 of my cousins-in-law, and my grandma.

    I don't have a problem with it. My family likes being able to see my pictures and know what I'm up to. BJ, on the other hand, only added his brother and sister as friends, ignoring the friend requests of his mother and even his 21-year-old cousin. xD

    I don't really hide anything from my family so it's never been an issue.

    My dad has a facebook account, but he never uses it.

    What is strange, though, is when the parents of your friends send you a request to become their friend on facebook.

    It's like.. I know them and like them, but I don't want them to mess around on my profile.
