Mom, I want to be on Facebook!

Here we go. Whether you’re dreading the day or not, no matter who or where you are, eventually, it’s coming. Some time between, say, 8 and 12, depending on maturity level and place in the family (yeah, my youngest was roaming around on there with just his family to talk to at 8 – what of it?), I can guarantee that your kid is Getting on Facebook, the Gateway to Getting Online for Good.

My take? It’s gonna happen, so stop trying to stop it and get yourself in on the fun.

WARNING: Don’t do this.
