Facebook

I agree a lot with you Amanda and Bright Sparks. I am friendly with my dc parents but we are not friends outside of dc as we really have no reason to be.

I also agree with BS's point...the things I post on fb reflect my opinions, thoughts, beliefs, morals etc and does not pertain to dc and dcparents really don't need to know all this about me. I try to be a very positive person and for the most part lead a very boring life lol but the odd time I post something "crazy" or "controversial", I don't want my clients to see. Fb for me is for friends and family, dc is my business and I would never friend my boss on fb if I worked out of the home. (I don't look at my dcparents as my boss but it's the same kinda feeling for me)

However, in my city we have a local forum website and most of my parents know who I am on there and have read my comments on things, so they probably do know a lot of my thoughts/opinions/beliefs anyways.

See, with me, I only will have parents that I have had a long time and have no qualms about knowing about my opinions and otherwise on my fb. There are parents that I have never and would never have on my fb because they are not people I would ever associate with outside of daycare.
I also helps me know what is going on in their lives as well, which makes us feel somewhat connected to each other. I love seeing pics of their kids on holidays or special places these been to and vise versa.
Really nothing in my life is too controversial that dc parents would be so offended that they wouldn't want me caring for their children, except the odd evening where wine in essential to get me through after a rough day with the kids, lol.
