Surviving the Domestic Jungle

I’m not sure if I think Facebook is a good thing or a bad thing. I think it depends on the person and their intent. Some people use Facebook as a way to keep in touch with friends and family and keep it pretty innocent while others tend to use it as a drama filled fun time! Some people use it to tell us what they are doing every three seconds!! I think it can be a good thing if used properly. Ive heard of affairs starting on Facebook which most likely stems from people searching for old flames or old flames searching for them! You know how they call alcohol liquid courage? Well I believe people sitting behind a computer have a confidence they really don’t have. You are ten times more likely to say something incriminating from the safety of your computer then in front of someone. If you didn’t have Facebook, you wouldn’t even have found those old flames! I couldn’t give a rats ass what my exes are doing or look like! I am happy and in love with my husband and would NEVER disrespect him or our family by wasting my time chatting with some idiot from my past who didn’t make it to my present. I have a personal account mainly to stay in touch with friends in different countries and check out their pictures  and most of my friends are in the same boat as me (parent, married). A few of my friends use it as a place to bitch and whine and post extremely personal information that almost makes me feel uncomfortable to read. I don’t need to know about every breakup or every bump in your road. I guess it makes people feel better to put it all out there but every now and again, a personal matter should stay a personal matter. As I write this, I am thinking about how someone could argue with me that I put it all out there by having a blog but I see those as different. I don’t force anyone to read my blog and often wonder if any does! I just write for me. On Facebook, you KNOW that your friends will see what you write. I dont know. I guess I just think people should stop using Facebook for negative things and use it for more innocent things. It certainly isnt worth destroying a marriage or friendship over. It is even less worth it to use it as a way to harass and stalk people!! Facebook might bring out the crazy in you so proceed with caution!
