First of all. I am sorry if this kind of question is not welcomed here, I read all the rules and I couldn't find anything that could imply this subreddit is against these kind of questions. So here we go.

​

​

My mom has joined Facebook for about 1 month now. Yesterday she posted a message on my wall saying "You're special!", cute right? I know, I appreciated that a lot. But, as soon as I saw it I deleted the post. Why? Because my Facebook friends are fucking assholes, that's why. I was not afraid someone would make fun of me. I am ok with it, I don't give a fuck about it. I was afraid my mom would get a lot of friends requests, a lot of messages and get insulted by them making her stupid or something.

​

I tried to protect her, also I didn't want her to become one of those other elder people on Facebook, posting stupid, cringe shit, pathetic. I tried to stop it from happening. Now, it was my fault too. After I deleted it, I went to her and said "Hey, I saw you posted that message on my wall. Although I really appreciate it, I deleted it because that's something other people can see too, on Facebook you don't need to post really everything. You could've told me that to me personally and would've been more beautiful. ". After I told her I deleted the post, her smile faded away instantly. I felt so fucking bad, damn! I should've thought it better, my mom has a history of being over reacting to stuff and get upset rather quickly. I should've deleted it and maybe said I didn't get it? That would've been better.

​

Now maybe this is about me too. You see, in the past all the guys thought that I was the mommy's boy. I was. And I got made fun a lot because of it. My parents too. This is maybe one of the reasons why I deleted the message and didn't want my parents to get into Facebook in the first place. It's a place for morons. A shit social network.

​

​

However, seeing that she is upset I went back today to talk and explain the situation more.

Me: - So you're still mad at me?

Mom: - Doesn't matter.

- It does matter. Listen I explained it calmly to you. I appreciate what you said. I really do.

- Calm down, you won't get any messages from me from now on. (Upset voice with tears in her eyes)

- I am sorry ok? But, you could've told me that in person.

*Silence*

​

I explained the situation nicely, calmly and she still is mad at me. It drives me a little bit crazy knowing that other parents would not react like this. I really think she is over reacting but this is just my opinion. I will listen to what you say and any advises are welcomed. I thought getting her a flower tomorrow, maybe that will fix things. I love my parents, but sometimes my mom is so fucking emotional.
