Yes, it’s so hard to decide what to do, especially if you have mutual friends on FB.

Thanks for commenting!

I know, it’s such a dilemma. FB is good in that it keeps me updated with family and “friends” that I want to stay in contact with.
I’ve turned down friend requests, not feeling bad at all. Totally my decision . . . do I really want this “friend” to know my world that I live in today? Well, still haven’t added my father-in-law as a friend either after he sent me a request months ago.
So, friend or not to friend? That’s the question. A totally personal decision!

A couple of weeks ago, my very first Facebook friend request came from one of my brother’s friends who only wanted to play Mafia Wars. I just told him I was a pacifist and ignored his request. I didn’t want a guy I didn’t know to be my first Facebook friend!

I almost didn’t sign up for FB because I didn’t really want to reconnect with people I knew in high school. I don’t like small talk or reunions. 25 years later, I felt like, if we were meant to keep in touch, we would have done that.

It turns out that wasn’t entirely the case. There were a couple of people I didn’t get to know in school that I really do get along with well now. Of course, there were also a couple of people I hung out with all the time who I have almost nothing in common with now. Then there are those I did get along with who are on FB, but are sticking to their guns about accepting friend requests from ANYONE from high school. I guess I can respect that and try not to take it personally that they’re ignoring my friend requests. Finally, I have found people coming out of the woodwork who didn’t want to talk back then, but apparently feel bad if they don’t “friend” everyone in our class.

My most recent friend request came from someone I didn’t know. He was a friend of a friend, and I don’t know how they became friends, because I didn’t know my friend knew anyone from another country. I decided to accept because I googled him and found that we have the same occupation.

In my world, the jury is still out. I’m shy about sending out new friend requests, and I’m wondering if I should just get over it. I’ve never turned one down after that first guy, though. Come to think of it, my brother hasn’t talked to me since then. I hope that’s only a coincidence.

Sometimes a little reward will do it . . . Shadow used a Goal chart too. I did a printable on and later bought a magnetic one, that way I didn’t have to keep printing off the computer. I helps when the child is really interested in the “reward”. They’ll do just about anything for it! Keep us posted on Princess’ progress! **Shoutout* Good job Princess! Make your mommy and daddy proud! (you already do!) )
