Default Can you believe this? (Facebook)

I don't Facebook, because #1 it sucks the productivity out of me, and #2 I don't really care to reconnect with MOST people from 10 years ago in high school. However, my mother is a freaking facebook addict and if she is awake and not at work she is probably on facebook. But lately she has crossed a major line because she has started looking up people from MY past. She is contacting my ex-gfs from like 12 years ago, telling them all about my life, and showing them pictures of me. She even gave one girl my address so she could send me a gift! So when I lose it she's like oh grow up. I'm about to friggin snap

How would you deal with this *****?

Have a serious conversation with Mom and tell her you feel she needs to respect your boundaries and wishes to stop sharing your personal with anyone. Be firm.

I've had a similar experience, you either have to be very firm or cut off contact with her for awhile even if she is your mom.

No, we don't live together. I know because she constantly talks about facebook, and the other day she is like check out this picture, and I look and it's my effin ex-gf from high school.

You're screwed man. She obviously has no respect for you if she won't listen to you. Nothing you say can change that unless you do something major to make her listen. She sees a child who won't be taken seriously. Changing that will be hard.

I agree with Kagami. A simple conversation, like LM suggested isn't going to do anything because she clearly doesn't give a what you think. Honestly, I'd flip out (which I don't recommend) and then cut all ties with her (which I do) until she gets the message.

He needs to give her a chance to understand how serious he is about this before he just "cuts all ties" - good grief.

Are relationships so disposable to you people?

Wow. There was a guy a few towns away from me who killed his mother because she tried to make him do his homework. He hid her under a pile of clothes in his bedroom and put his TV on top of the clothes, but the cops found her body and arrested him. So, I wouldn't do that.
