So I'm sure you're all going to be sick of the trials and tribulations of my 12 year old son but we caved and let him get an Instagram account

I'm trying to be a stickler for the rules of various online social sites (13 years old, etc) and one of our big ones is that you have to be friends with us on whatever site it is. Well, the instagram signup didn't ask for age so we let it pass. So now I'm on instagram too. Crazy all these various social networks. He wanted on there because his girlfriend is on and now I feel like I'm scoring big in the Creepy Old Man bingo as I can see what she posts without following her because she has all her stuff non-private. Interesting to see all the conversation she and her friends are having about her new boyfriend too :)

Anyways, thought I'd share. Put an "X" next to my name in the Creepy column if it wasn't there already

Some parts of being a parent equal creepy. - the liioulu with Aug 19, 14:07
It's not creepy if they both realize what you're able to see. -- nm - mara Aug 19, 14:07
