    I have four children, three of whom are in relationships that started in high school... both friendships and romantic relationships... never have I been so close to one of their friends/boyfriends/girlfriends that I would maintain that contact after they parted ways.

    This seems... weird? To me??

    I don't know...I have a lot of friends whose children are anywhere from 14-25 and on social media, and it varies so much the level of contact these moms have with their kids' friends and boyfriends/girlfriends. Some of them are so closely connected at all times that I find it startling or surprising. Others have little to no contact or consciously choose NOT to "friend" the younger generation (aside from their own child typically but sometimes not even then). It really seems to run the gamut.

    I suppose it's like anything else. My mom knows all of her neighbors and many details of their lives, she's always in their business. I can only name ONE of my neighbors, and I've lived in the same house for several years.
