Personal FB and DCP?

[Blackcat31]

Just for clarification when I say NOTHING personal of mine is tied to anything work related, it isn't at all because I feel I have anything to hide.

I keep my personal and work life separate because they are. My daycare parents are NOT my friends and what I do in my free time and with whome is really none of their business. Just as I really have no interest in reading anything they post about or like either.

I've been in business for many many years and I don't think many of my daycare parents have ever seen my home, know who I socialize with or what I do in my free time.

Business is NEVER mixed with personal for me.

Has nothing to do with hiding anything but more about wanting privacy and space from people I already see on a daily basis.

Plus, I really dont' want to see or read about anything any of my DCP's do in their spare time either so .....

I do have daycare parents as friends on my facebook page because I have nothing to hide from them. I don't really care if they know what goes on in my life as I don't post anything I wouldn't want people to know about. They probably do it to be noisey and see if they can find out anything interesting, but there is nothing to find out, so I don't care!

Same ^^^

I don't add daycare clients as friends on facebook because they are NOT friends, they are clients. I have a business page they are welcome to add themselves to - other than that I keep my work and private life 100% seperate!

I recently set up a "Secret' daycare Group. I explained to the parents that they will have to friend me, I will add them to the group, then they will be unfriended. Only group members can see the posts. I just said that I keep my FB stuff personal.

No I wouldn't accept it. I also don't share my personal life with parents...unless its just a Monday morning how was your weekend type thing, then I might share what we did, but that's as far as it ever goes!

Nope. They're not my friends, so they don't go on my FB. Only one of my old dcm's I became friends with after they left. They were here for about a year and she was honestly the type of person I'd hang out with. So we talk and she's a pretty good friend now. But if it would have been during the tie i watched her kids, no.

I would not accept a request from a dcp on my personal fb. I do like to have fun on the weekends and it isn't any of their business. I am only friends with 1 dcp and she and I were friends before I starting caring for her daughter.

I am having a hard time having parents on my Facebook page... My original thought was "I have nothing to hide!" But now I find my self censoring certain things because they are friends on there.
I'm not sure how to un-friend those who already are...
I won't friend future clients
Live and learn I guess!
