McD and I had a little disagreement the other night so I’m asking you guys to settle it for us.
We were casually sat watching TV when he told me a girl on his friends list had just updated her status asking about when netball club was and he was tempted to comment “nobody talks about netball club!” Funny huh? But he wasn’t sure if she was old enough to understand the reference to the film. I asked how old she was and he wasn’t sure but thought about 13. I was interested to know how he knew her and he said she was a friends daughter who he had never met. Now this made me sit up.
From my point of view I don’t really believe that McD should have a Facebook friend who is a 13 year old girl who he has never met. Really I don’t agree with having any youngsters who aren’t family. It’s not that I don’t trust McD, it’s that I don’t trust teenage girls. I wondered why she had added McD, what could she possibly want with having a 32 year old man as her Facebook friend? Could it be that she was just looking though her parents friends and adding people? But you know me, the ultimate worrier.
I asked McD to delete her right away and he said he thought I was overreacting (as usual). I said he had no need to have her as a friend, he’s friends with her mum. In my eyes what if she all of a sudden developed a crush and messaged him out of the blue? I know I’m thinking of the worst case scenario but in today’s society I just don’t think you can take that chance.
In the end McD deleted her as he could see how upset I was getting over this. I know teenage girls, I was one. They do things without thinking and are completely ruled by their hearts.
But from the girls point of view, what if my McD wasn’t such a nice guy? What if he’s not the only adult male, who she doesn’t know, that she’s added and what if that adult male had sat looking through her pictures? I’m shocked at how her parents are happy with her having adult men as her Facebook friends and wonder if they actually know. I certainly wouldn’t be happy if it was my daughter.
So I guess what I’m wondering is, did I overreact? Am I completely wrong for thinking like this?
