When you're seeing someone, would you find it necessary to friend his/her parents? What would make you delete them?
Seeing them how? As in just dating them? Or serious relationship? Or as soon as we're exclusive? I wouldn't add them unless we were in a serious relationship, and together for a significant amount of time. I didn't even become friends with my fiance's relatives online until after we were together for almost a year. Her step mom and a couple of her sisters eventually added me.
I would hope you're not adding them when you aren't even exclusively with a girl yet.

No. I did this once a long time ago. It was just more people to delete when we broke up.
To be serious, I did not feel comfortable with having them all on there. It is too much mixing of people who would otherwise never see each other except for a wedding or funeral and now here we are having to worry about whether his brother is going to offend my sister with a comment blah blah BLAH. Also I liked his family much better before I saw some of their rantings. Years ago, you would never know these things about people because you only saw them once or twice a year at most for occasions when everybody was on their best behavior and you only talked about sports or the weather. The best was the horrible uncle (everybody has one) who carried on about immigrants this and immigrants that, deport everybody, blah blah BLAH. It was funny for me and embarrassing for him when he met me and then suddenly it was "Oh, I didn't mean YOU. I mean Mexicans."

No. That's weird. Although my son's ex-girlfriend friended me. I don't communicate with her and I told her parents that she had friended me, but she certainly leads a busy life.
