It's all over.

Don't panic, but my mother is now on Facebook. This means that the internet as we know it has only a few more weeks before complete collapse. Few of us will survive this apocalypse, but those of us who do will take the following precautions:
  • After Mom friends you, deactivate your Facebook account.
  • Remove the Facebook app from your iPhone and delete all Facebook bookmarks from your browser.
  • In preparation for the downfall of society, stockpile fresh water, canned goods, and toilet paper.
I have purchased a small homestead in Wyoming and my car is packed with axes, guns and enough ammunition to see me through 2025. I'll see (some of) you on the other side.

Mother-in-law, too. *shudders*

Also? I think it's incredibly cool that A) you read poetry to Angry Kid to soothe her, and B) Angry Kid wants you to read poetry to her to soothe her!!

Friend your mother, then list her as "Restricted," which is a new FB friend category. I think it means she won't see any of your posts unless you specifically put her name down to see them. Or, customize your default posting status, so that it's Friends Except Mother (and anyone else you don't want to see your regular posts). Un-restrict your mom for pictures you want her to see.

I blocked everyone in my inlaws' family before they could even ask. UGH.
