Flipping Fb

[sherrardk]

Was 'innocently' looking on FB for 'details' of my step dad's wedding today and inadvertently sent a friend request to one of his new step daughters, who replied immediately. Then had to send one to the other step daughter (who also replied immediately) and his new wife. Blended families are w bloody nightmare, and he only got married at 3 this afternoon.

why did you "have" to send them to the others......?

Do you know how it went? I suppose you accidently did a good thing. It would have been more awkward if you'd accidently unfriended/blocked them? (don't really know how it works)

block them sherrardk, it's only facebook

[boxtops]

On the other hand, it's quite a friendly thing to do, you can always hide or block anything you get from them.

Because once I had sent the one (by mistake) I couldn't leave the others out (or it might look a mistake). Might be a good thing, forming bonds and all that (found today a bit tough really).

or restrict them

How do you take their immediate acceptance? They are interested in being on good terms with you? They are nosey? They are playing on their phones during the wedding do out of boredom lol. It's new for them too, maybe you have more in common than you thunk

I think they are being nice and well mannered. Our paths are going to cross rarely, but they are playing the game with style (my FB name bares no resemblance to my real name, so they know who I am).

[ducksie]

just go to friends>add to another list> restricted, you'll stilll be friends with them but you'll not see or they see what you post unless you look them up (and they wont be any the wiser )

[sherrardk]

Oh, it's not the end if the world.

Nothing is sherrardk :)
