Should Friends on Here Share Email /Facebook Address Etc

I am friends on Facebook with several of the moms here on MP. I actually would like to be friends with more on FB, since I'm active on there and its easier to stay in touch and keep updated. So message me if anyone wants to be FB friends! lol

I know enough people on here have my email address that it is statistically impossible for all of us to disappear at the same time. So most would breathe a sigh of relief that I am not around and the rest could sort it out.

Right now I am worried about Theresa. I am sure nothing is wrong I am just worried she took that damn job and now I have one less person to entertain me though PMs during the day! :(

Chances are pretty good that whoever you are worried about someone here knows how to get a hold of them.

I tend to give my email address to anyone that asks. If someone wants to stalk me I am flattered for the attention. :p

I think it's okay to PM people and ask after them. Earlier this year, when I was taking a much-needed Mamapedia break, someone reached out to me. I was touched, to tell the truth. Didn't expect my absence to be noticed...

I've also reached out and met a couple of Portland area women who were a delight. (And, who were who they said they were.) I've thought of doing the same when I have visited other cities--I'm just a curious gal.

So, go ahead and reach out. You seem like a nice woman, B.! If they aren't interested, it's likely about them, not you!;)

I am friends with several moms on FB, I have some emails, and some phone numbers. I consider them friends :). So yes, I think it's okay!

I am not FB friends with anyone but am not against...just never really thought about it.

I am friends with several moms & dad's on here via facebook.

I have phone numbers as well as e-mail addresses of some of the mom's on here and do talk with them.

Which mom are you worried about at the moment? Rachel D had to start working outside the home and isn't on as much as she used to be...can't think of many who haven't been on recently...I will "assume" (and I don't like to do that) that Tracyxo has had some marital problems and moved out of her home (the apartment and cable question) so she might not be on as much..i don't know...

If they want to, go for it.

I have PMd a couple of moms here that I had not seen active in a while. They genuinely appreciated my personal time and interest...or so I think.

Who are you worrying about? Maybe someone here has heard from them and can ease your mind.

Hi B.!
I have made lots of friends on this site and have quite a few that are now FB friends.
In a perfect world we could be open to anyone like that, but the realty is quite different sometimes. Oh well.
I would PM her and maybe include your FB profile or a personal email, if you feel comfortable doing that.
Some of these answers illustrate just why it's so important with whom we share our private information! This isn't General Hospital and any & all info can be shared by anyone that knows it!

I have friended one person on mamapedia because we shared similar problems with our kids. As soon as I did it I worried about the possibility of it being a mistake. Seriously, we have no idea who the person typing the words on this site are. None whatsoever. We may say we're a mom, a SAHM/SAHD, there is nothing that actually shows anything about the true person behind the words.

I think it is a great idea to give her a buzz. She will feel very good if she knows that someone was worried about her. I know i would be. And i think it would be nice to acces people in other ways off mamapedia but i dont think it is safe. Because u would hope that everyone on here are nice moms but i guarentee you there arent. I hope everything is ok! Best of luck!

I've befriended a few Mama's on here that are a true kindhearted and loving people. A couple of Mom's not so much, but that's ok. I have one Mom that I have as a FB friend. I don't see her on here anymore...in fact not for the longest time, but she is one of my contacts on FB. :-) It's ok to PM that person you are concerned about. I'm sure she will appreciate you thinking about her. :-D I know I would. Take care and I hope things are ok on her side.

I have a few friends from MP on FB.
