So I've just had a Facebook friend request from
my Mother-in-law.

Should I go with it or does it contravene the Golden Rule of facebook - never add your parents or bosses as friends.

Decline.
I declined my mother's request. My rule is "no family other than siblings". I made an exception for al's mum, though. She's special.

Agreed
I however have my grandmother on mine which worries me considering the filth I come out with.

I foolishly accepted my dad's request. not that he will ever look at it, but I still need to delete him.

Just change your settings and exclude him from certain things.

he can barely operate a microwave
I can't see him ever using facebook, I suspect my bro signed him up. and I can't be arsed to change the settings, so is easier to remove him.

Accept.
You can exclude her from seeing things - like all your status updates about vag diseases or Kaol's mum posting filth on your wall.

Don't do it
think of all the embarrassing pictures, comments etc. I can go one better though - my brothers ex-wife's mum tried to add me on facebook. I've never met the dole scrounging behemoth and I wish for this state of affairs to continue. Ignore was firmly clicked.
