I think the nicest thing we can all do as sons and daughters is to stop these idiotic family members from using facebook. They need to be stopped. If i hear my mum talk about some famous person adding her as a friend one more time, i'm going to snap.

My answer: get a job, move out, get your own internet.
He's sixteen, AKA, in highschool. He can't move out, and he probably has a job.

I get the impression that she might just be wanting to share something with you. She's on the internet and knows you're on it all the while, and probably thought it might be fun to add you on facebook. This kind of mistake happens often in the world of parent child relationships, where the parent does something 'cool'. Your rebuff of this has hurt her feelings and though her argument has little weight, when you are hurt, your best arguments often fly out of the window. Now she wants to take away your internet, possibly because she's concerned about what you're hiding on there.

She wants to punish you for not adding her on facebook?

Damn, she must be either paranoid or lonely.....
Also, you haven't done anything wrong, certainly not anything that can be punished legitimately.

Why not just make her a little bit happier?
I'm 21, moved out 1½ year ago, to the other end of the country, and I know that it makes my moms day when she is able to catch me on fb chat just to ask how I'm doing. And she enjoys being able to see a bit of what is going on in my life since I am exceptionally bad at calling anyone.
And what on earth do you put on fb that you will want to keep from you mom? Seriously, of you whine and ***** over every small thing on there, you really should start growing up a little.

Or just don't use facebook. :p
Problem solved :D



But meh, my mom can read my facebook all she want. Nothing interresting is happening anyway.
It all depends on how discrete you are with your information and postings.

Pffft, she wants your love through Facebook? Don't add her dude, you have to let her know that if she wants you to show her that you love her then it shouldn't be through something as shallow and common as that.
This makes me weep for society.

I think your mistake is thinking you're allowed to speak freely without fear of punishment. You don't really have that right until you're out on your own and no longer living on your parent's dime.

LOL. What's wrong with The Escapist today, all these hilarious threads about people not being able to stand up to their own mothers and need to cry for help on a forum.

If you're 16 and this is happening then you might want to tactfully and respectfully remind her of the difference between a parent and a friend. A parent can indeed be a friend (and should be), but that doesn't mean that she should act like a whiny clinger when you don't add her on facebook. Still, if she thinks you don't talk to her enough, then by all means, go do something with her. Buy some takeout for your family. Give her a box of chocolates. Flowers. Anything!

Okay let me set something straight.
I'm also 16 years old and my mom is also on facebook, (and added as a friend) but i don't have that kind of problem.
Because i grew a huge pair of balls, (there were atleast big enough for me to stop careing, about what my mom saw of my misdeeds) and i'll say the same to you.
Grow a BIG pair of balls and be a MAN, because that is what you are meant to be.
(And mothers like to see their children grow up) ;P

If this is accurate and there isn't something you aren't telling us, then your mom is either childish or bipolar.

Whats with this generation that "being a man!" now involves adding your mother on facebook?
Is this really happening? Are people really being this......THIS?

*Sigh*
Mother is being immature. So are you.

I declined my mothers request on Facebook, my personnal life is none of her business.
Until you get 18, everything you do is your parents business. Both legally and literally.
I am glad I am not under 18 then! And I think its 16 over here anyway, they can kick you out then since you can get a job. Now I still live at home but what I get up to is none of my parents concern and I stand by that.

"You didn't add me on Facebook! That means you don't love me!"

No offense, but your mom doesn't seem like the brightest bulb on the tree. Its a sad day when people gauge their relationships on a digital social network.

It'd be a nice thing to do, as it must mean a lot to her, but her threatening to take away your internet for refusing it is a bit much.
Yeah, it does seem like a bit of an overreaction to forbid you from the internet just because you don't want to add her on facebook.
