It is so awkward to get the friend request from a parent. How do you ignore the request?

My mom is my facebook friend! I wish she’d read my blog more! Then again I have nothing to hide from her!

I am friends with both my mother and my daughter on Myspace, but my daughter refuses to let me be her friend on Facebook. A bunch of her friends have sent me friend requests, though, which I think is funny.
