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 profile view, but some part of me is sure they'd find out and there'd be more drama.
Do I really have anything to hide? They couldn't even handle our Christmas card without throwing a fit, what are they going to find on my FB that proves how terrible a person I am? I have so many friends and family members that I love to talk with and keep in touch with on that website, and I don't want to censor my interactions with them worrying about what my parents might throw a fit with. I don't want them having access to all of the information about my daughter that I'm looking forward to sharing with everyone else.
And we're moving. FB is about to be a main source of contact between myself and a lot of my friends here in Denver. I can't imagine trying to write letters to everyone or send pictures through email or any of that cumbersome crap.
But I just can't trust that my parents wont be absurd. They will be themselves, that's all I can expect of them. And I just do not want their drama there too.
I'm reviewing FB, and it doesn't look like limited profiles are an option anymore. So it's all or nothing.
I'm thinking nothing. Should I wait till they bring it up?
