We are family...

[mcroft]

So, my 13 year old niece has friended me on Facebook. That's pretty cool. And sorta scary.

I haven't censored myself online and, having thought about it I don't intend to. If she's old enough to be on Facebook, she's old enough to find my stuff. I've been pretty tame on Facebook, anyway. She hasn't found LiveJournal (that I know of), thus the post here. OTOH, Google exists. OTOOH, I'd be willing to explain anything she found, so there you go. Hope I never linked to any of the nasty shock sites.

So, yaye, she's starting to be her own person. Very cool.

Here's my question for the collective wisdom of LJ: How would you or have you dealt with the next generation of your family getting on-line?

I have friended my younger cousins, so I do censor myself in some ways - I do not bring any family drama onto the internet, and I do not post things I do not want their mothers or brothers or sisters to know.

Otherwise, I figure they're old enough to read what's here.
