Stuff that you'd be comfortable saying in a bar with strangers within earshot, but not if your mom was in earshot.
Ding Ding Ding.
GAF is touchy on the mother subject, amusing.
So basically you're phonies with your mothers.

Yeah, I don't have the urge to tell my mom when some girl has a nice rack.
I don't mix friends/with familty, that's it.
I'm not a mama's boy so I don't want her knowing and worrying, and I'm not a criminal or something so I don't need to worry about future employers reading it. It's really that simple.
So you tell your mum about your sex life/random hookups or that amazing time you had when rolling on MDMA?
If you do, congratulations on having a cool mum but not everyone has such an open minded mother/relationship.
I still don't understand the problem here.
You're an adult. If you care this much, you have three choices:
1) Stop using twitter. Medium difficulty, and doesn't really solve the problem.
2) Change your name. Easy difficulty, solves part of the problem.
3) Continue using twitter and accept that your mother is going to keep following you. Deal with the consequences of that reality via communication and desensitization, rather than running from it. Hard difficulty, helps you grow as a person, and potentially solves the problem, but at least it addresses the problem and treats your mother as a human being.
Twitter is more like using a megaphone, and not some random chit chat you've been having with friends.
If I was someone who would put it out there publically, like say....on twitter, I wouldn't have a problem with my mother knowing about it.
It's a little insulting to pretend like your relatives need to be in some kind of "bubble" from your happenings, how about you treat them like people and let them be the ones to decide whether or not to keep reading about your brocapades.
Facebook allows me to post to certain people and not others, without blocking said users. I was simply asking if twitter has an option to make it so certain users dont see what I'm tweeting, without fully blocking them. No one asked you to play internet psychiatrist.
"This is neogaf." Really, what did you expect?

I don't see why you just don't delete her.
My mum is on Facebook but she's never tried to add me as a friend because she respects my privacy. She understands social networking is a place where I discuss things with friends and she's never wanted to invade that.
If she gets insulted by not letting her follow you then that's retarded.
I've had several jobs and have never seen anyone get any grief from an employer because Facebook or Twitter revealed that he/she ate bacon and was out at a bar.
Stop posting dumb shit nobody cares about on twitter. Problem solved.
Dude, just tell her not to worry. My mom moved to Mexico and then moved back here for a short while, so now we're in the same house again. She sees all the raunchy things I post. Sometimes she doesn't even watch what I post, just likes them and tells me, "I support whatever you post."

I can relate dojokun. My Dad started following me (along with a couple of cousins and my sister in law, why). I haven't since tweeted mental farts like I used to. I could get a new account or stay away from tweeting and become a full time follower. It's not that they don't know me or that I don't want them to discover some obscure facet. I believe there's a time and place for all. I get twitters block with my Dad potentially listening to all that shit in my head. I love my parents to death but I don't bring them with me to every party I get invited to, no.
The anxiety we endure because of the social parawebnalia.
Sounds like an opportunity for incest. Get in there!
make a new mom.
So I guess there's no way to do it without her knowing huh. Facebook lets you do that with statuses... wish twitter offered this option.
I mean, I'm an adult living 1000 miles from her, but she's the type to be up worrying about her only son because he's not at home by 10:00pm.
Is your mom really going to worry about you going to bars and eating bacon or french fries her whole life? Like you can't possibly explain these things? If there's lewd comments on there then ok, but the rest is so inoffensive I have a hard time believing a human being can't accept it.Okay this post proves that you do NOT understand how cultural differences can make these things a problem your whole life, not just your teenage years, despite your claims to have friends in that situation.
You realize who the op is right?
you know what is funny about that?
it just shows how rigid and narrow-minded most people are. I mean some people are afraid of what their parents might think of them and it just means that there are certain conditions under which parents "love" or "accept" them. It's like parents are just as alien for them as any other person. I understand the concern but parents aren't supposed to be people who judge their children. They must embrace them no matter what their children are (until they are a threat to society).
