Dear Mother-in-Law,

I am new to Facebook and yes, I am a mother in law.

I am in a quandary. I don’t know if I should or should not send an invitation to friends and relatives? Is there a proper etiquette?

I would NOT want my daughters-in-law or my sons to feel like they were -obligated- to add me as a “facebook friend” since were are far more than friends. Would you agree it is better to be requested than to request? I have received requests from friends of all ages but can certainly understand where a daughter-in-law, like mine, would be grief stricken over not offending me! What’s your advise wise mother in law?

From one mother-in-law to another.
