So both my FIL and his wife have asked me to be their facebook friends and I'm just not sure I'm down with it. . but do I just ignore their requests? I just don't feel like I need to have them seeing all my pics and updates etc. . DH is friends with them and got all offended when I said I didn't want to be but I just feel like I don't need them as my friends. . what do you think? is that rude of me?

ooh thats tough. I get were you are coming from but I think ignoring them may not go over to big. I wouldn't want to be friends with mine.

Can't you do like, a 'limited' profile? I think you can. (I've never had the need to so I don't know for sure.) I am friends with FMIL as well as FH's aunt and I just try to be mindful of that and not post any statuses about FH and I getting it on or anything like that!

My parents are on facebook and DH and I are friends with them but dh NEVER uses facebook so he really doesn't care. I would probably do a limited profile... At least that way they wont get offended and you can still keep some things private.

Totally agree on the limited profile!! I am friends with some clients on FB and it's a good way to stay connected without revealing too much...

I dont know... youre all adults... but if you think that they cant handle things in your profile then its up to you...

I'm friends with my MIL... but both of my parents, a lot of my aunts and uncles and even my GRANDMA has FB so I've gotten used to not posting anything I wouldn't want them to see. (And I'm pretty boring, so that isn't too much. )

Re: facebook your inlaws!!??
Yeah I guess I can do a limited profile. . it's not like they can't handle stuff on FB. . trust me they have done WORSE than I ever have/will. . I guess it's just about privacy and not feeling like I want/need to share with them. . so i guess it can't hurt. . I mean they are both very nice people. . it just seems to be that FB was about my friends you know. . I guess it so doesn't matter in the long run. ..
thanks for letting me bounce this off you girls!

I had this same problem with my MIL...I ended up blocking her from seeing my updates and all that jazz...and I recently unblocked her...but that might change, lol
Too close for comfort for me. My FIL will never be on.

Oh I know how you feel....my DHs whole family is on there...and they all requested me. I did add them, but I do feel funny putting my updates out there. DH's brother will call MIL and say...'oh, whats wrong with amber, her status said shes upset today'...?????? Haha...seriously. If you can avoid it, I would. If they ask...say you never got the request, haha.
