My boss added me on FB, is this a bad idea?

Honestly, it sounds like you need to rethink your priorities. Do you realize you are doing the same thing to your kids as your boss is to you (using FB to "spy" on people)?

Anyway, you're not going to fix everything overnight, and there are many sketchy "solutions" that [silly] people are going to suggest, so I recommend that you ask your boss for a meeting, and explain your situation. Be honest and forthright, though; smart, talented people CANNOT STAND weasel behavior (and don't be naive, it is obvious as hell, IME), and if your boss is one such perceptive person, it will only make things worse for you. Since you and your boss have a good history, she will probably want to figure out a way to make things work, even if they are not ideal.

If she understands that FB is the most client-friendly (at your work place) method to keep tabs on your kids, then you're just going to have to do what you claim, and keep your nose clean. Maybe create a second profile for "carousing", if that's what the "problem" is.
