Has she gone too far?

Another thing I would add, don't show holiday photos while you're still on holiday. I'm amazed at the amount of people who broadcast when they're away on holiday.

Change your Facebook privacy settings to 'friends only.'

It's Facebook, what more can you say? If your daughter doesn't want it out there, don't put it on there. It seems she doesn't mind, so why complain about being 'stalked'.

I discovered yesterday that a neighbour keeps a diary.
I commented about the unseasonably hot weather we'd been having and she said her husband had remarked that this time last year we had been prevented from flying to Egypt as our airport was closed due to snow.
Great memory I thought and I was impressed.......then she said that he had read it out to her from his diary that very morning.
My other half and I don't know what to think. We've laughed about it but I am sure it will cause us to behave differently around them in the future.

What everyone seems to forget is what goes online, stays online!

My DD has a complete embargo on photos of the DGC being put on things like Facebook and I agree. My niece's baby is constantly pictured on her page!

Don't put it out there if you don't want others to see it .

I was just surprised that she even knew who I was

Maybe your DD has posted a photo with you in it, also.

It is surprising just how many people are in circles that are connected by Facebook - if your DD has posted the news then it is up to her to choose what settings she has and who she wants to see her posts. When I was little we had lots of 'Aunts' who lived in the same road, everyone knew everyone else, all their news, troubles and joys and pitched in together to help each other out. I barely know my neighbours here - most work so are out most of the day - and I do miss the friendly chats that my Mum used to have with her neighbours. Facebook is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends, especially the younger ones, you just have to be sensible about how much detail you post (if that sort of thing bothers you).

Hi
I don’t put any personal information on Facebook and I have no uptodate photos my image is a generic one

I agree with Larsonsmum.
So sad that nowadays, people that are being genuinely friendly are seen to have an ulterior motive! Our lives these days are so insular - no wonder that so many mental health problems often begin with loneliness.
A lot of time, posting things on Facebook is the same as standing in your local shop, having a conversation with someone and other people overhearing. If you're that bothered, change your settings or deactivate your account!

Apparently if one of your fb friends has liked your post,and your friends settings are not private then everone on anyone can see it. I learnt this from a tv programme the other day. I've come off fb.

This is one of the many down sides of social media.
Having said that, nearly 40 years ago, when we lived in a small Yorkshire town, our postwoman handed me a letter and said "that will be the date for your son to start school".
Coming from a city, I thought that was very intrusive but, really, just small town life and I had to get used to it, just like we now have to get used to there sometimes being more information about our lives on the net than we are really comfortable with.

A very similar situation happened to me and i did have my page set to private how they got in i will never know, but it's them that do things while you get in trouble for them

LittleAnnie I use fb to keep up to date on local news, follow a few hobby sites and to keep in touch with family and friend in Australia, America and various other countries. I rarely post personal information or photos and guard my privacy.
Like all technology it needs to be used with care but it can be a very useful communication tool.
As to th original op if your daughter posts something, she is obviously comfortable with other people knowing. I must admit it comes as a shock when complete strangers comment on things you think are family related but that's the nature of social media. I would personally mention it to your daughter, in a jokey sort of way and see what her reaction is, maybe mention in that you found it unsettling.

If you post on Facebook it’s there for all to see. What’s your problem?

Actually I would be a bit taken aback too. The OP doesn't post anything personal on Facebook, so please don't have a go at her.

It appears that the neighbour has somehow got access to her DD's Facebook account, which seems odd, and perhaps the OP might like to mention privacy settings to DD? Not sure why the neighbour would be searching Facebook for details about your family?

Nosiness isn't confined to the net. My neighbour is incredibly nosy - she saw a bag of padded envelopes in my carport (they were given to me) and asked why they were there "because they don't have your name and address on them"!! A real curtain twitcher - has been known to walk up the road carrying binoculars - not an ornithologist.

I was just surprised that she even knew who I was as I have not lived here long and know very few local people. I agree she was just being friendly.?

Obviously you have mutual friends so you need to reset your setting to private,the lady concerned was not being a stalker she was just being friendly.

Your attitude seems crazy to me, and totally OTT. No way is this chatty & friendly lady a stalker - what an insult to her.

She sounds to me like she is genuinely interested in other people - something which is becoming rare these days, more the pity, She is not even nosey in my book.

In my late Mum and Gran's day these are the dear ladies who would sit at their window smiling as they watched people go about their business, stand at their door or gate passing the time of day with others going by, or chat with others in the corner shop.

It is what is called neighbourly - again something which is sadly becoming a thing of the past.

As far as the Facebook connection goes - for many facebook has replaced that old-fashioned neighbourliness, and for most people that is a good thing. They want someone admiring their baby or toddler's picture, or their dog photos, or their new car, as people in a street would have done in the past.

Please, please consider what a massive slur your insinuation/allegation about this lady is - an insult that could damage this poor lady's reputation were you to be discussing her with others in your neighbourhood as you have done here.

Stay away from Facebook, There are always bad reports about it on TV. The lady was just being friendly, not a stalker.

In answer to why do people like facebook, I like it as I've won a lot of prizes there lol - But agree; if the information is there, people assume its to be read! lol

Sounds like it’s your DD s fault the info is out there then and that the lady was just asking anfriendly question that you could have quite honestly answered with a ‘ fine , thanks for asking’ response.

It’s not like she asked for your bank password ??

Yes, and it can end up on Facebook and Twitter.
We don't have profiles though, or two many pictures, so that's something.

But aren’t people doing the same here on Gransnet? Lots of personal stuff seems to be shared.
