Dear Mariann, Do you take at face value when your daughter has declared that she ‘does not want anything‘ for her birthday. Despite it not being THE day yet, there are already messages on her Facebook pages. Is she trying to show off, or is this a test of a father’s love? From Dad via [...]
It is mother’s day. There’s no real ‘dilemma’ this time, only this via word of mouth real world conversation; is it OK-aaaaay (my friend is European, long vowel sounds are her thing) to send-e my motheeeeeer only a Facebook message? Only a Facebook message?! But for what mother wouldn’t be delighted with just this! There’s [...]
Dear Mariann, I keep two profiles on Facebook. One is for the family and the other just for me. I think of one as the single me – that has fun when away from the family and the wife. I travel for work and so get to meet girls who like a older guy and [...]
Dear Mariann, I am a new parent and of course our child is already on Facebook. In matters of child development I am concerned that little Giles have the best of the best, so far we are filtering his friends and marking out his social network, but what if he turns into a party-popping yoff?… [...]
Dear Mariann, Pictures have appeared on Facebook of a good friend of mine covered in whipping cream. This wasn’t too surprising as it was at the tail-end of a lads holiday.

Her story was in Telegraph and it says that Facebook mistook her for an impostor using a fake name. She cant get reinstated and [...]
Dear Mariann, AWFUL! After years of trying and careful planning I have had a baby girl. By naming her Nigella, I had hoped that our new baby would not be faced with any social stigma and perhaps be blessed with a decent cleavage in due course. I was distressed, however, to find that my husband [...]
Dear Mariann, I began my new year with a layering of murky relatives out in the wilds of the Cotswolds. Full of wobbly pasta and blinis we assembled on top of each other with a game of Twister and other inappropriately paired gamey instances. Thing is now new year in there’s lots of new chum [...]

Dear Mariann Bit of a problem. At Uni and home I use Facebook a lot. So I’ve got into a situation where I said I’d see my BF at home on Christmas day – as the families know each other. He said he will post photos so everyone can see then and tag me. But [...]
