Yes, I do it. I'm one of "them". LOL, a friend of mine complained about people doing it and now I get self-conscious about it. I still do it though.... Does anyone else do it too?

I have a pic of me with DD. I am one of those people that feel like my profile should have a picture with me in it... but now it's always one of me with DD. I wouldn't put one of just her. I have no problem with others doing it, I just don't want to do it myself.
I won't lie, this has creeped in my mind. I noticed I put a lot of DS as my profile pic, and have thought maybe it looks like I'm obsessed with my baby. But then I really don't care, it's what parents do.. what's your friend's deal?
I don't. Just not my thing. It's not his profile, it's mine. And if someone is searching for me, I don't want his face the first thing they see. It's confusing and I don't necessarily want certain people seeing him unless I'm friended to them.
I don't. My profile pic is pic of which I cropped DD out of. I tend to be a fairly private person and I don't like my kid's picture out there on the internet for anyone to see. I don't care if others do it though.

this is usually what I do too... but I always add pictures of DS, most of our family live states away so Facebook is really how they can get pictures of him the fastest. I can care less if it gets on peoples nerves, they can delete me if they want lol
All the time! I love it when people update w/ pics of their kids. Is your friend a parent?
No, he's not. I feel stupid telling people "You'd understand if you had kids"... because it sounds so dang cliche! But I tell them anyway. He is a techie-type plus a perfectionist, so he's just being a little b**.

Nope- it's my profile- its a photo of me. There are some photos of DD on my Facebook, but I'm just not a fan of having my kids photos on the internet.
Our Journey from two to three!
3 IUI's, 2 IVF's, decided to move to foster/adopt.
12/24/2009 Baby C born, 2/1/2010 placed with us,
5/17/2011 Adoption final- we are finally a forever family!
I put pictures of DS on my FB. Most of the time I am in the photo with him. I have put just him before. I can understand why someone wouldn't want to just because of creepy people trying to steal photos.
Um yeah I do it all the time..His sweet lil face is on there now..Why did she complain??
It was a guy, actually. I'm not sure why he complained, something about "it's your facebook profile, so you should have your photo on it."
He's probably an internet creeper- that's the only reason I can see why he'd complain.
I would have told him to eff off. What is it to him? He has no life if he's going around making dumb statements about what you should and should not be using for a profile picture.
I also "hide" people if 90% of their status updates are about their children. If you have nothing else to post about you need a hobby.
Oh, I hide or delete people for less than this even! I agree. JMO but 90% of anything people post in their statuses' I could care less about. But I don't go around dictating to them what they should or should not do on the Internet.

Nope. I'm with your friend- I think it's kind of weird. I will post pictures of me with him, but not pictures just of him. I post those in my photo albums.
My profile is of me, so the picture should be of me, IMO.
A lot of my friends on FB are new mommies. I really only care about seeing pics of their kids and I am pretty sure most of them feel the same way. I doubt anyone is that interested in the fact that I have gained 50lbs in the past two years and I am going gray.
Also, don't really talk about much on FB except my kids. To those who would say I need a hobby -- I have a toddler, an infant and a full time job. I don't have time for a hobby.
Re: Using LO's photo as your profile pic on FB.
click the pic (blog)
I do it all the time. Of course, there is a pic of me up there ever so often (actually, the pic up there now is of me).
Some don't like it because it isn't really you, but I think my kids are part of me so it is okay

Same for me.
Right now, I have a picture of all three of us from his birthday party. But I use pictures of him by himself on a regular basis.

I cannot fathom why anyone would give two sh!ts about what other people put as their FB pic.
Really, if you're taking FB that seriously, then dude needs to get a hobby.
No, he's not. I feel stupid telling people "You'd understand if you had kids"... because it sounds so dang cliche! But I tell them anyway. He is a techie-type plus a perfectionist, so he's just being a little b**.

I've only used a picture of Evie AND me for my profile pic. Never just a picture of her.
No reason why, really. Just never have.

:Rolls eyes:
Yes, I do. And some people have muppets as their profile pic. And some people have pics of their pet.
Who the hell cares?
Yup, always one of my girls.
