my mother is on facebook
my mum added me on FB. aduh.
she's been sitting in my pending requests for at least a month dy, and i don't know what to do.
she's forcing me into approving her and ive been pretending to have not been on FB since (not very smart to post this here then haha but i know she knows that im just stalling too its just a matter of time =_=).
...sif i can go without FB for a week without experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
yes i know that is very sad.
anyway. i don't want to approve mummy because i know what she will say...
"WHY DID YOU PUT UP PICTURES OF YOURSELF THERE?? DONT YOU KNOW PEOPLE WILL COPY YOUR FACE AND PASTE IT ONTO PORNOGRAPHIC PICTURES??" this will lead to an hour long lecture on how the world is not a friendly place and i have to stop being so naive.
"WHAT'S THIS ABOUT YOU WANTING THAT TATTOO HUH?? TATTOO? NO TATTOOS. TATTOOS ARE UNGODLY IN THE EYES OF CHRIST" this will lead to an hour long lecture on how thy body is a temple.
"WHY ARE THERE FOUR-LETTER WORDS IN YOUR FB?? DID YOUR FRIEND USE A FOUR-LETTER WORD?? WHY DID YOU QUOTE SOMETHING WITH A FOUR-LETTER WORD??" this will lead to an hour long lecture on how society is falling apart and i have to be of Strong Character to resist it.
"WHY ARE YOU SPENDING SO MUCH TIME ON FB TALKING TO ALL THESE PEOPLE?? WHY AREN'T YOU STUDYING??" this will lead to hour long lecture on how lazy i am and how i need to be more asian in my attitude towards studying.
"WHY ARE YOU FRIENDS WITH THIS PERSON?? WHO IS THIS PERSON?? WHY IS THIS PERSON CONTACTING YOU ?" this will lead to hour long lecture on how not everybody is a good person and i have to be more discerning and make friends with more Good Christians.
"WHERE WAS THIS PICTURE TAKEN?? WHY WERE YOU OUT AT NIGHT / THIS PLACE / WITH THIS FRIEND??" and that will just lead to awkward questioning.
i'm sure she'll think of alot more stuff =_=
not to mention that these topics will be RECURRING.
ugh.
i do not think it is cool that mums (at least, mums like mine) force themselves into having access to their kids' FBs.
my mum argues that this should not be a problem as i should not be keeping secrets from her.
mums need to understand that some things are cannot comfortably be discussed with them. there is a line (very thick black line that's about a kilometer wide) between friends and, well, MUMS. im myself on fb and a different myself around my mum (im not sure how to explain that but i think everyone gets me here)
i trust her with what i WANT to trust her with, and she should be happy with that.
besides its not like there are incredibly dire topics discussed openly on FB. if she really wants to know something, she should ask me, not skulk around my FB collecting little fragments and screeching at me for hours afterwards.
to my mother if she is reading this... (pretend youre still working for like 10 secs and humour me a bit) how would you feel if your boss could watch everything that happened in your office.
HOW'D YOU LIKE THAT HUH.
...though actually that isnt really applicable to my mum cos shes a really hard worker =_=
whatever, i tried.
