Re: Do you have family on Facebook?
You can put them on a limited profile, that way they can see somethings but not everything?
I set my Mum and Dad like that so they can see the photo albums I don't mind them seeing, but they can't see photos my friends tag me in or status updates.
Hope that helps!

Re: Do you have family on Facebook?
My Mum hates it when I swear and she'll make a point of going through my photos and telling me which ones she likes and which look dreadful.

My sister uploads photos of things (mmm pancakes) all the time and my Uncles/Aunts/Cousins like to mention either Spurs (yuk), God or their trivial daily activities.
I need to do a major cull to my friends list but I'm lazy and strangely curious of other peoples lives. -
Re: Do you have family on Facebook?
My mum and dad aren't, thank god, then I'd have to just block half of what I say. My mum's 2 sisters are and her cousin who she talks to all the time so I still have to think about what I reveal on FB! My mum is threatening to get a FB account soon when she gets a laptop but it doesn't seem to be a very forthcoming plan! I doubt she'd use it much anyway, she's definitely not into computers. I already have to sensor what I say now as my aunties wil tell my mum stuff. Like I've stopped telling my mum about interviews (I can't be bothered with the same crap advice and having her get excited and then...yeah) and I used to mention them on FB for friends but not any more.
I wish my brother was as I never see him or talk to him much and I'm always online. But he hasn't been near a computer since school when he had to, wouldn't have the faintest clue what to do with one! I can see that becoming a problem in the future... -

Re: Do you have family on Facebook?
I've not got my mum, dad or brother on Facebook but I've got family members such as cousins and aunties and uncles on there. I get along with them great over Facebook! Although sometimes I forget I have them on there - one time I had a big ol' rant about my brother and my cousin gave me some advice and I was like "wuuut", completely forgetting I had relatives on Facebook. It was really helpful advice though

Re: Do you have family on Facebook?
Sure, I've not really got anything to hide.
I have mum/sister/aunties/uncles/cousins/distant relatives.
It's probably an easier way of them keeping up to date with what's happening anyway, and vice versa to some extent. Catching up in person is always best, but when you're away for 3 months on the trot.. -
Re: Do you have family on Facebook?
I have my cousin and my uncle but my brother deleted me after I made fun of his statuses. I change the privacy of some things to hide them from my cousin but I don't mind them seeing most things.
I'm very selective about what I post on there anyway and having family on there reminds me to watch what I post, especially as my uncle has said that he'd tell my mum on me! -
