Dear Mother-in-Law,

It may sound funny, but our family is facing a problem that is probably not unique and I am not sure what to do. My mother in law wants to join my husband’s - her son’s - Facebook page. He and I both are trying to figure out what to tell her since we don’t really want her on our Facebook pages. Some of our entries are rather, well, “personal” items that we’d rather not share with her. She sees Facebook as a way to share more family items, such as pictures of her grandchiildren and so forth.
