My parents like everything I do on facebook? - Eileen - 12-02-2013 03:19 AM
Actually my mum doesn't do that too much, but it's her boyfriend who drives me crazy.
He literally Likes every single thing including trivial stuff like '*** is going to this event', although most of the time he has no idea what that event is. He Likes every photo I post even when I'm not in it and writes comments like 'Is she your new friend?' ' They look tired' etc..
He doesn't even understand half of my posts 'cos his first language isn't English and he's not that good at it either- but he still clicks on Like no matter he understands it or not.
Of course he has the right to like whatever he wants, and he's practically like my parent so I understand that he wants to keep up with my life while I'm away to go to college.
But still it's just too much
What should I do?!

You have a few options:
- You can create a new list, place him on it, and when you share something in the future, you can choose to exclude that list. Anyone you place on that list won't be able to see your update(s).
- Unfriend him on Facebook or put him as restricted. In this case, he will only be able to see posts you make public.
- Just talk to him about it. "It's cool that you wanna keep up with my life, but that doesn't mean you have to comment and like everything".
I totally know what you mean, I see it happen to some of my friends every once in a while. One of my friends' mom comments on almost everything her daughter posts, but they are really close and her mom is pretty cool. But she knows how to keep it light and mostly funny.

while posting anything on facebook, do this... add anyone's name to the "Don't share this with" option under the "custom" share selection...
