Social media crossroads (Read 417 times)

    My wife is a high school teacher and the kids basically tell her that they let their parents have the password to "their" facebook, but they all have another account that they really use.

    Not saying your kids are doing that, but they are a hell of a lot smarter than we give them credit for.

    Mine are 3 and 7 so please save this thread when I say the same thing Hasher wrote.

     

     

     

    My kids can't be on social media with out me having their passwords so I can log in as them whenever I want.  I do occasionally for the three oldest just to see what they are up to at parties.  You may or may not be amazed at what kids take pictures of and post.

      Really?  Not weird to anyone else?  Just me?  Okay.

       

      It's not how I've done my parenting. But my kids are smart enough to know not to post stupid shit online that can be traced to them, or hang out with people who would post photos online of them doing stupid shit. 

       

      I haven't beaten them either.

      The process is the goal.

      Men heap together the mistakes of their lives, and create a monster they call Destiny.

        My daughters don't even want Facebook BECAUSE parents and grandparents are on there. It's not cool anymore. But I follow them on twitter. And they can do a lot more damage on Instagram.

         

          Turned out he meant to. He's a good kid, a runner no less. I know his dad pretty well and have met his mom. Not seeing a ton of risk of there being a creepy factor.

           

          and there it is...he's out to find your training secrets beat your ass at a 5K Smile

          Hey guess who's dad I beat today?

           

          Or not...

               The oldest created a second account and there were consequences.  It became a battle of wills and he lost interest in FB.  He is now a Freshman in college and I no longer track his online activities.  He is an adult and has to live with his actions. 

               

              I am.  Yes.  And I think there is an age where I would require a password and an age where having a password would not be needed.  In reading Rick's response it seemed to imply that the kids were adults. 

               

              For the other two they are 16 and 14 and they go to HS parties. 

                You probably shouldn't joke. You do have 4 daughters. The current teenager may be a good one, but odds are...at least one of them won't be. Hopefully it won't be your favorite one.

                 

                That is funny.

                    My sister in law thought that being friends with her daughter meant she would see everything she was doing on FB ... So naive!

                     

                    I had to give her a few easy scenarios how this isn't remotely the case. I can't see most of what my wife does unless we're both friends with someone or her friends have low privacy settings.

                            You're doing it wrong. There shouldn't be any pain. Reference.

                            It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

                              So runners wear Zooms, spanks, and bikini tops. Then they carry weights while running in a grassy meadow. Yeah, that is no runner, that is a feeble attempt at runner porn.
