I decided to post this chart for all of my other friends that struggle with this question. Personally, I will NEVER accept my parent’s friend request on Facebook. In fact, I try to deter them from getting a Facebook every chance I get. Would you let them listen in on your phone conversations? Scroll through your texts? Screen your pictures before you upload them to Facebook? Parents are great – don’t get me wrong, but it’s nice to have a little separation sometimes.
