Should You Accept that Facebook Invitation?

Accept or not to accept your parents’ Facebook request, that is the question.  Mashable posted a pretty humorous flowchart by Mike Newman of Cool Material that takes the reader through a series of yes and no questions as to whether you should ‘friend’  your parents or not.

A May 2010 survey by Retrevo found that nearly half (48%) of the parents out in Facebook universe are ‘friends’ with their children on the social networking website.  Andrew Eisner director of content at Retrevo says, “It looks like more parents with teenage children are more likely to be friends with their kids, although many admit it can be awkward at times but they say they do learn a lot about their teenagers, which is probably why children are so hesitant to ‘friend’ their parents to begin with.”

Still hesitant to accept that request?  Check out Mike’s flowchart below to see if you should ‘friend’ mom and dad.
