Mother's Day is almost here, and to celebrate we wanted to give mothers a chance to discuss familial Facebooking, and how social media plays into parenting. Should moms "friend" their kids on Facebook? Do their kids even want to be friended? What do people really think about parents who make Facebook pages for their babies? Do families hide things from each other online? And don't forget, we have demographic breakdowns to shed more light on the answers to those questions.

So whether you're a mom yourself, or simply have a mom, we want to know your thoughts on how social media relates to parenting. When you have a chance, be sure to take our 10-question Mothers and Social Media Quick Poll. And don't forget to send your mom a Mother's Day poke!

    Since my children still live in my house, use my phone and computers, and get mail @ my PO Box, it would be really awkward if we used any of these methods for "most of our communication." Is there a reason that "Face to Face" or "In Person" wasn't on either this question or the one about communicating with Mom?

    Normally we just talk face to face. When my son is out we will call each other and sometimes my son will send me a text with a picture that he has taken of something. Since we live in the same household we would feel kind of silly using things like facebook, twitter and mail to communicate.

    Why isn't "face-to-face" an option? That's by far the most frequent way I communicate with my kids! Phone is a DISTANT second. http://www.sodahead.com/livin...

    I actually communicate face to face the most, as my daughter is 10. However, I do love to send her emails that tell her I love her or something like that. Face to face communication is where it's at when it comes to your kids! That'll hold true even when she's 18 and above.

    No kids... But I certainly would not allow social media to become a big way that I communicate with my children...

    I actually use something called "voice". If that's not available then I play with gadgets.

    All my girls friended me. They are the ones who talked me into getting on FB. I talk to my grandkids on FB, too.

    If they are out, then I text them. My son drives, so I do not text too much, and I know if he does not text me back, he is probably on the road. No texting while driving. He has hands free, so If I really want to talk with him, I will call.

    Two of my daughters communicate with me mostly by phone, when not possible to see me face to face.
