Werd. Clena it up. There's no reason you should have to censor yourself with ACTUAL friends.

then they aren't "friends"....

only people on my facebook are people who I don't have to "censor" with...

To clarify....my father is on Facebook.

He has taken it a bit too seriously. He rarely checks it but every once in a while he does and then feels the need to have a serious discussion with me about how concerned he is about my life.

You know how you're pissed off and sometimes you change your status to reflect that? Or even put something funny as your status? Well he doesn't quite "get it" and it results in a very long discussion about where I'm going in life and how I'm basically going to hell.

If you knew anything of my family life it would make sense.

It would cause more of a shitstorm to de-friend my father than it's really worth.

Having read some of the past stuff, I have to question your last statement. I still say drop-em.

I haven't played much with the privacy settings on FB.. but I know there is a way to change how an individual can view your profile, but I don't know if that extends to status updates or not.

IMHO.. I would tell him that you are a grown woman and capable of handling your own life at this point. But I'm kinda blunt that way.. may not be the most tactful advice.. and my mom still hasn't really gotten the clue that I'd like her to butt out of my business sometimes.

I love the faces people make when they announce that their parents are on Facebook.

All I have to say to you Kell is
HAR-HAR!!!


(My mom is on Facebook but I don't do much besides post pictures so it's not really a biggee for me. My sisters on the other hand....I think they get their fair share of "talks")

Ahhhhhh, gotcha. Couple years ago my Mom kept asking to add me on MySpace, and for that same reason, I never accepted.

I wonder if there's something in your privacy settings where you can limit what specific people can see?

[CrazyKell]

He's getting put on limited profile but I think he can still see my status. Hmmm....

[Archren]

Found it... go to privacy settings > profile > Under status and links, select customize > You can exclude specific people from seeing status/links updates that you make.

[CrazyKell]

Thanks! I'm sure I could've found it but that made it a lot quicker.
