When your mom wants to ‘friend’ you:
Ignore friend request.
Accept friend request, let it all hang out.
Accept friend request, set custom Privacy Options.
8. Privacy Options
Select “Customize”
in Privacy Settings.
Restrict viewable items
by List or Friend.
Or just delete wall posts
on a case-by-case basis.
But wait – why not
entertain your friends?!
