My daughter removed me from her FB friends list. I think that's a big deal but would like others opinions?

My daughter removed me from her FB friends list. I think that's a big deal but would like others opinions?
I'm sorry for over posting but I am just learning how this works.
I would still like more input since I added more to the question. I marked it resolved by accident.
Thank-You for your help!
My daughter put compliments etc. re: other family on her FB page.
I said I would like to see appreciation about us.
She then said, she was removing me/us from her friends list. I think that is a major ordeal. I can't believe others would do that. What do you think? I think I deserve an apology. All she had to do is say...I appreciate you in some way but instead she took me off her FB friends. Would others do that to their mom? Should I feel like it's a big deal as I do? How should I react?
Additional Details
She is 30+ yrs old
We are paying thousands for her wedding in July. She just had a baby, I spent a month with her to help. Gave her a guest house for visitors. We live a state away. We got a house with a guest apt for her,hubby and kids to visit. Gave her a small surprise birthday party. None of this was posted.
Other family were given many Thank-You's for their vacation visit. She went there.
We are not rich. One blue collar income. Also we only had the FB account at her/their long time convincing. I closed it for now. Basically my feelings are hurt I guess, and I don't know where to go from here. Thank-You so much for all of your great comments. It helps to see all sides. Keep um commin.
Hey Stevie re:your answer...Then why did she insist on me getting onto FB
Shea re:your answer...Can you imagine how she would react to a sit down talk. All I did was say in an email- We would like to see you write more about us or something like that and what I got was, You are not my friend any more.
Kaelly and Rodney re: your answers, I don't need or do things for public appreciation. However when I see all the thanks and praise given to others and not us I finally said something privately and nicely in an email.

She needs some space. She is 30 so she doesnt want her mommy looking over her shoulder 24/7

she sounds like a spoilt brat. no offence but when i started reading i thought your daughter must be a teenager and was all ready to offer advice about privacy and rebellion etc but when i read that she was 30 and that you have done so much for her i was shocked. i am 32 and would never consider removing my parents from my facebook page. dont stress about it, just let her go on with it. she obviously is very selfish and does not realise how good she has it to have parents like you.

She has many things that she doesn't feel comfortable sharing with you.

If you don't understand why, you should check out this site: http://hailmaryjane.com/five-reasons-why...-facebook/

Or she just doesn't appreciate you.

Its facebook. Not reality. If you want appreciation, sit down face to face, and have a heart to heart talk. We as a society, are so reliant on the internet and communication devices these days, we forget what real communication is, and how precious it is. Don't miss out on anymore time, have the talk asap. Your still the mom, maybe she needs a good mom/daughter talk. Good luck

So are you going to continue paying for this extravagant wedding she is going to have in July, provide a guest house for the visitors and guest apartment for her and her family? Sounds like she has been spoiled all of her life if you can afford to do all that. My parents didn't pay any money towards my wedding. But I came from a very poor family too. It doesn't sound to me like she appreciates what you are doing for her or it could be she has been given everything she has wanted all of her life so now she "expects" it from you. You are supposed to do this for me! I am your daughter! It is sad she has no appreciation or respect for you.

For my wedding my mom and dad showed up with my dad drunk and threatening not to walk me down the aisle or even come to the church if it rained. I would have felt blessed if my parents could or would have done just half of what you are doing for your daughter. Too bad she doesn't know how lucky she is.

Don't mention the FB to her. It seems strange she would remove you from her list to begin with. Maybe something is going on in her life that you don't know about. In due time she will put it back on. Don't make a big deal out of it.

I beleive that those who ask for thanks dont truelly deserve it, but those who don't give thanks for what they are receving where raised that way. Or she fills in some way hurt and embarrassed that you had to ask. And she could just fill that you owe her and she needs not say thank you. You should wait until she brangs it up. If you want to be childish,like her, stop helping with the wedding. But my advice let it go. She'll come around
