Facebook and mum

[slipstream 1985]

IT is a nightmare just recently my mum got a smart phone and facebook. Fine to start with but then the comments started. You know typical mum ones on anything i post or old pics. I ended up having to put her on a restricted list. Really didn't want to i'd be happy for her to see pics of days out and fun things I do but not to make stupid mumsy type comments. If there is a banter thread going with work colleagues she posts as well. She just cannot see the line that "work" family" and "friends" life are different to me.

I really don't want to hurt her feelings by asking her to stop the coments as she really is a fantastic person with a heart of gold that has done alot for me but just doesn't seem to have "internet" street smarts.

I suspect though she has twigged that she is blocked from seeing posts as she has obviousy gone on my page and hasn't seen updates for a long time.

Has anyone else had this? What did you do?

If she has twigged you have blocked her and hasn't said as much, why do anything.

Just block her totally.

Confiscate her phone......

I can't comment as my mother is no longer with us!
Just count your blessings and be happy you still have a mother!

Nobody under 40 uses Facebook anymore. Go to Snap or Instagram or whatever. Or bring yer mum on PH.

My parents do this... I just put up with it, hoping they will get bored...

I did like it when my mother liked one of my posts, by writing "I like this"...

Me too, my mum passed away a few years ago (I'm officially a no-Mum).

I'd love to have this 'problem'. 100% cherish having her around!
