Deciding to accept your mom’s friend request on Facebook is bound to make her day -- and fill yours with small sighs and eyerolls whenever you scroll through your newsfeed.

Here are 10 of the main reasons why (here's the full list of 25):

  • Overuse exclamation points.
  • Repost inspirational quote images which will feature a sunset or a woman meditating or flowers.
  • Repost a lot of American Idol or X Factor audition clips with “OMG I TOTALLY CRIED!!!!” in the status.
  • Post a status update about their favorite show which is going to be either Parenthood, Nashville, or Scandal. (Editor's Note: What's with the hating on Nashville!? I'm frankly relieved Rayna didn't marry Luke. Luke is a dink.)
  • Comment on your status and offer up genuine advice which mortifies you immediately.
  • Post a lot of articles from Yahoo! and AOL.
  • Repost your pictures from events they were not even at.
  • Post a picture of themselves drinking a glass of wine.
  • Invite you to play Candy Crush.
  • Repost an article about motherhood.
