Is it odd that parents are creating facebook accounts for babies?

[Jessica]

Yes, very odd.

[Linz]

i don't think so... it's pointless but not strange.
My best friend made one for her 7 mo. old son...before he was born. lol
i still make fun of her to this day for it.

GOOD QUESTION!

In a way, the practice sounds rather up to date. The parents can record messages from people to their child and print them out for a scrap book or something. They would probably only allow certain friends and relatives to participate, anyway ( if they are smart )

Facebook and other social networks are meant, in part, to numb people to the idea of having personal privacy anyway, so those parents are just moving their child along more quickly towards the norm of the future.

PERSONALLY, I would never create a page for my child. They might end up being a very private person and have wished that I hadnt done that. Thank you for asking.
