Has she gone too far?

There's not much in the way of family news I can pass on to my family these days - even talking on the phone to my sister in Canada - she's seen it all on facebook and sometimes can keep ME up to date with what my family in uk are up to!!

You need to set your privacy settings so that only "Friends" can read your posts. Unless you post your news onto local groups, in which case anyone who belongs to that group can read the posts. Your neighbors are likely to belong to the same local groups as you.

Why on earth do people want to use Facebook in the first place?

She might just have been friendly. I don't put much at all on facebook for that reason, its private. If I want someone to know something I will tell them. Private.

Change your settings to 'Friends only' then only the people on the list can see your postings not the whole world which can be risky. YOU choose the people who can see your posts. I use Facebook to keep up to date with my family and friends.

I agree with BlueBelle. You are being unreasonable. It was nothing scandalous to read about. I hope the little lad gets on well in his new school.

I don't think you are being stalked the lady just made a comment on something that had been written for others to see sounds like a friendly neighbour which we could all do with

Yes you are being unreasonable I m afraid someone has posted the information on FB hoping people will see it and comment on it so that is all the acquaintance has done

If the information is out there then you can hardly complain if people read it kircubbin
I don't understand why people feel the need to inform the world about their family and personal lives. Yes I'm aware its an old fashioned attitude but we hear such a lot about children being at risk from Internet predators.

Sounds to me like she was just being friendly.

Ah well then. Can’ t really blame the lady for reading what is on her own ‘phone / tablet/ IPad.

It must have been DD?. I don't post personal stuff.

Check if you have a ‘mutual’ friend. If not then your privacy settings need sorting.

Someone has put the info out there, so you can't blame people for browsing it.

Gone too far with what? If you put information out there, you can’t blame people for seeing it!

If you don't want everyone to know, why put it on Facebook? Perhaps you need to change your settings to 'private'.

She may know your DD/DIL.
How else would she have known?
