9. Apparently there is some history with mctatas' father that I don't know about...
'cause on the surface I'm not sure what's "skeezy" about a parent and a child being friends on Facebook.

8. SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME
My stepmom got a facebook. Freaks me out, man.

She updates her status literally every few minutes.

7:43am: "Suzanne is going to have a cup of coffee, sit on the deck, and enjoy the morning"

7:51am: "Suzanne is THE KIDS MISSED THE BUS. HAVE TO DRIVE THEM TO SCHOOL."

10. Is this some sort of new and incredibly deranged phenomenon?

12. My daughter is my friend on Facebook.
She's the one who told me to sign up in the first place.

13. I guess it depends on the individual relationship...
but in my case it's just a little odd. I don't talk to him regularly at all, and now I'm supposed to feel comfortable sharing the daily minutiae of my life? It's just weird...

14. Well, yes...
I do like to think of myself as "not deranged." :D
