Nana, my grown up kids share your DD2’s opinion on discussing just about anything on the internet. They would be horrified if they knew half of the things I have written about on GRU. I just allow them to believe that we chat about the weather or what’s on TV. Ignorance is bliss as far as they are concerned.

My AC have no idea what I do on the Internet including Twitter! I have my own account which is hard to find unless someone knows where to look and I run my church’s account too. None of their business.
I keep FB for photographs for the most part and my friends list is private.
Woe betide anyone under sixty who purports to know more than me!Comment

Love it ...you're a great bunch.
It is a good link that Sum1 included Daisy. I don't know what 'discalculia' is either, so will look that up too out of interest. I didn't know they could just have 'upper body' as I did wonder how he could be so good at football. Sum1 I really enjoy seeing your photos on FBk. You visit some wonderful places.
I'll let you know the outcome of the meeting at half term. Wish I could be a fly on the wall."Good friends help you to find important things when you have lost them....your smile, your hope, and your courage."

I think I must be lucky with my DSs and DILs. None of us use FB for anything more than superficial things, in fact DS2 and DIL2 don't even have FB accounts. They are very kind about asking advice about certain things, especially related to education and DS1 and DIL have involved me at every stage of the various events concerning my GS who has Autism.
We do ask their advice too. DS1 and GS1 'run' my OH's computer and sorts out any problems he has, and DS2 is a Mac user like me, and is always more up to date with the latest.
This is not to say we all always agree on things, but it would be odd if we did I suppose.

Funny you should say that Daisy. She's normally really helpful. Think I just caught her on an off day. She said she'd not long since unfriended some people as they weren't good for her mood or something. I agree it would be odd if you always agreed on things. Good to have help with the techno stuff tho."Good friends help you to find important things when you have lost them....your smile, your hope, and your courage."

Nana - we all have our 'off' days, don't we. Perhaps your DD was just looking for an outlet for her own worries and anxieties about your GS. It's good if she's 'unfriending' people who are negatives in her life and dragging her down. Friends should be supportive in my book!"Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognise how good things really are. "

She's going through a very 'rough' time at work & she's exhausted bringing up a 2 1/2yr old & a 5yr old. Her partner is always on the go & is self employed so I think the childrens' care falls mainly on her. Not that she grumbles. Bias I know but she's a lovely young woman."Good friends help you to find important things when you have lost them....your smile, your hope, and your courage."

It's all too easy to forget how exhausting young children are and when you add in a stressful job, little support from a busy dad and friends who seem to be not very friendly, plus today's hectic pace of life, it's bound to add up to an occasional outburst. I really don't know how young parents cope these days.
