And he threatens me that employers will use it against me in the future, but here's the thing:
I'm 25 years old
I have my own apartment and live with my GF
I have a fairly stable corporate job where I just got a promotion a few months ago
I rarely post anything on facebook
I have appropriate security settings so that only friends can see most of my stuff (and they can't even see other things like tagged pictures unless they are friends with the tagger)
The status I recently made which prompted him to harass me again was something along the lines of :
"having a s****y cold, but my (pet name) (GF's name) is taking care of me "
Is this guy overreacting or what?
I'm not an idiot, so I know not to put certain things (regardless of who else may be watching), but this is going kind of overboard.
Block him if you don't want any comments. Or get over it.
And he's absolutely right about employers. My husband and I both look there first when reviewing resumes.
You can find a LOT more than you think, even with "appropriate" privacy settings.
This ^. fb is the "go to" place to find out things about a person beyond work experience and most employers, regardless of how busy they are can manage a few minutes checking it out.
You father sounds like he has control issues. Obviously, you are an adult and unless he has some sort of other huge string attached to you I would simply block someone like that, father or not.
If he complains to you after your blocking him, just say you are disabling your FB account and don't need the unnecessary drama.

Great points.
BTW, most of the parents that I know are not friends with their children on Facebook. The few that are friends do it to keep up with what their young grandchildren are doing (ie. the "children" are older and married).
My children are 25 and 30 and I would never even consider it even if they asked me to be friends. FB is just too personal.
