in-laws on facebook

i dont know if this has been done before …

how many of you have your husband and in-laws added on your facebook? do you feel restricted by what you can and cannot say because of this?

Re: in-laws on facebook

Some of my in laws were on FB but they deactivated it after a while…but if I had them now, I don’t think I’d feel restricted, I dont’ do anything out of line or embarrassing anywya

Re: in-laws on facebook

sometimes we can crack jokes with friends or feel a bit low and say something … or share something that we wouldn’t really share with EVERYONE … especially with slightly formal or “not-so-emotionally-close” relatives so-to-speak ..

Re: in-laws on facebook

When you say “in-laws” does that also includes sister-in-law , bro-in-law or only sassoo ma

Re: in-laws on facebook

I use my mum’s facebook to communicate with extended family or ppl I’d have to be a bit ‘careful’ with, less hassle..

Re: in-laws on facebook

argghhhh i had my ex-would-be in-laws on fb. It was soooo awkward. I mean why would i want my would-be saas on my friend’s list… :bummer:
It’s not like i’m too social or anything, but even then I felt weird and I was always conscious. I even got annoyed by my ex-fiancée always checking on me and poking and stuff and we weren’t even that close or anything. So I just started changing my profile settings for them.

Re: in-laws on facebook

I have my brother in law and 2 sisters-in-law added as facebook contacts. I’ve never felt restricted by it. I doubt they’d bother to follow any of my cheesy links or read my bad jokes anyway.

Re: in-laws on facebook

of course BILs SILs are also included …

that is very smart! everyone should make an FB page for their moms .. lol

ouch!

i have recently been thinking about how people have millions of friends on facebook … i just want to cut down to a list that includes people that i actually call friends … want to remain in contact with. others are so unnecessary !!

and in-laws are a total no-no ..

Re: in-laws on facebook

‘like’ this](Facebook)… should be fine then.

Re: in-laws on facebook

I have my BIL and SILs and I dont have any problem with them around.

my MIL and FIL does not use FB.

Re: in-laws on facebook

people do randomly stalk when they have nothing else to do … i wont lie .. i do that too sometimes ..

if you have good relationship with your in-laws or if they arent the sort who are looking for opportunities of gossip then i guess it’s ok ..

Re: in-laws on facebook

hahaah .. that is some serious heavy-duty stuff .. :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: in-laws on facebook

Okay its not stalking if that person is on your friend list and already has everything there for you to see!

Re: in-laws on facebook

Yes, but I don’t excessively use FB or do anything that they would find inappropriate or embarassing. It was a bit strange when my friends asked about my engagement etc, I deleted the messages & replied with private messages, because I found it strange that they could read them too!

Re: in-laws on facebook

usually that is not the case .. some people on fb are just acquaintances .. some people dont know how to manage privacy settings …

it’s happened every now and then that somebody posted some pics and then some friends start PM-ing “oh did you check so-and-so’s album out” …

Re: in-laws on facebook

exactly! all this feeling of being conscious can be annoying ..

Re: in-laws on facebook

I wouldnt care much. My facebook profile is one I would be comfortable showing my mother. So if she is okay with it…Im not worried.

Re: in-laws on facebook

Hehe my inlaws doesnt speak or understand danish so I dont care if they are there or not :smiley: But than again they dont have access to some of my pictures albums and they cant see the pictures people tag me on trust me I have to explained a lot if they could se some of those pictures LOL hehehe

Re: in-laws on facebook

Simple, make different profiles for friends and family.

Re: in-laws on facebook

It’s wierd for me, I have all my brothers wives as fb friends but only one of my husbands sisters as a fb friend. Not because I am hiding anything it’s just I don’t really see my husbands family as my family or my friends, they nice people just not really ‘friend’ material.
