My MIL wants to friend me. I really don't want to friend her. I want to keep some part of my life (okay, like all of it) off limits to her. How am I supposed to complain about my in-laws in status updates if my in-laws can see them? I am goign to be reduced to boring updates like "Funky Frum is baking challah" and "Funky Frum is loving the three week visit from her in-laws". Now, she has not asked to friend me (she can't, I am super private), but she has asked my email account to join Facebook and had my SIL ask me to friend her.
Now what? Can I just ignore it? Pretend I never saw it?

I think the only thing that you can do to preserve your Facebook/Twitter freedom is to have one account for friends and one for "work", i.e., your MIL.
My BFF does this by having one account with her full name and one with her nickname. Is that possible for you?
I have a friend dealing with this now. (Aunt in law, but same.) I told her to say that she rarely uses it...which is true (for status updates, anyway). So true-ish.
Unless this would not satisfy her. Sigh. Why do people do this? If my MIL were at all tech savvy she'd be on FB in 2 seconds--and commenting on all my posts.
oh, no. That is a big problem. if my MIL tried to friend me on facebook i would be in serious trouble. lucky for me, she barely knows how to turn on her computer.
i think the idea of having two accounts is really smart. or just keep rejecting her friend invite....
