Baby photos/tagging on FB...CP

I'm so curious to see if I'm alone in my opinion of this....so...[Poll]

ADub09 · July 2012

No one has ever done this to me .... I think it would depend on the person as to whether it bothered me or not.

When my MIL does it, I don't mind. I love my MIL and she is obsessed with Camden and likes to show him off too. But when my (evil) aunt-in-law does it, it bothers me. I'm seriously like WTF, why would you tag yourself in a picture of my babies face? Annoying.

laf10 · July 2012

Nah, my mom does this all the time. I would mind if it was somebody random I'm sure, but not if it's mine or DH's parents.

My FIL shares EVERY picture I post, drives me nuts. It isn't worth blocking him or preventing him from seeing the picture, he very nice and just really proud so I instead post very few pictures.

I was just about to complain about this! MIL and SIL take every picture I put of LO on facebook and share it on their own wall. I really bothers me. First of all, I don't know who they are friends with or what their security settings are. I keep my FB pretty secure.

Second, I put a cute pic up of LO smiling at me. MIL shares it and gets the comments, "Awww, look! He is smiling at grandma." No! He is smiling at his mommy, who took the picture.

Third. I will make a cute pic my new profile pic. MIL takes it and makes it her own profile pic. Grrr!

No one has done this w/ my photos either. I often tag H so his friends can see pics of J. I wouldn't mind if he tagged. Anyone else.. it would probably bother me, but not enough to do anything about it. I mean, I post pics on a public forum, so obviously I'm not too concerned with privacy.

This sounds super annoying. Particularly #2.

This. I would have been a SS in this poll so I didn't vote.

My mom did this yesterday, sort of. I posted some photos on Facebook but also messaged them to her. She then posted those same photos. I feel like I can't really complain, though, because I also post photos on my blog and on this site for the whole world to see, which is even less "private" than whomever she's FB friends with. And I would never share photos I thought were inappropriate or could be used inappropriately-- aka there will be no fully naked photos of my baby girls on the internet, ever. I am also not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be so afraid of.

This. I post photos regularly but I haven't had this happen to me.

Crazy Soon-to-be-ex-step-MIL was taking pictures of Lily off of FIL's facebook and posting them to her own profile. If I had seen her, I would have punched her in the face. She also posted a pic that FIL texted her of Lily with her chest still open and 15 tubes coming out of her. Thankfully, FIL lost his shiz on her and made her take them all down, then defriended her. He also apologized to us about 50 times.

Sometimes.

One of Colin's newborn pictures was him in a crocheted bunny hat and bottoms. MIL shared it and put "our Easter gift" or something to that effect. It was really annoying to me and pissed me off. I normally don't care TOO much but I remember feeling pissy about what she posted.

WhatTheFuck?!!?!!?!

Uh. Psycho.

My mom will share photos of my DD's every once in a while but it doesn't bother me. She doesn't know how to post her own photos and I know she is just being a proud grandma! No one else has ever shared or tagged themselves in my photos.

Yeah, this would bother me. Only my hubby has shared what I would call "medically sensitive" pics of Claire. I still haven't decided if I will share any photos where you can see her spinal defect, but it would really bother me if someone else posted them.

Everything here, except for my mom. If we had a better relationship, I wouldn't mind.

NeverLostHope · July 2012

My mil doesn't tag herself, but she shares my pics without bothering to ask if it was ok. It infuriates me, especially since she had no clue how to set her privacy settings. I had to go to her house once when we were in town (she lives 5 hours away) and set her FB settings so the whole world couldn't see pics of my kids. I think it would bother me less if she would ASK before she did it.

orriskitten · July 2012

My grandmother is the WORST! She doesn't just tag herself... she tags people I don't even know so they can see it! That drives me crazy. I wouldn't mind if she tagged herself, but someone I don't know (and that she doesn't know in person, just through a grief website/fb page she obsesses over) is just disturbing. Part of me wishes she would learn the dangers of the internet and the people on it before doing things like this. And talking to her about it doesn't help.

huahualove · July 2012

I said yes, however I tag DH in some even if he isn't there. My mom will tag herself sometimes. I think she wants to show her friends her cute grandkid. She also askes me when I'm gonna come visit so she can show him off.

Monkeybabe · July 2012

My MIL shares every single picture of Zoe, even ones other people post and I'm tagged in, she even shares ones I've posted on HER wall. The times it has bothered me was when she shared a pic my cousin posted that was of my 8 year old cousin holding Zoe; it's one thing to share your grand daughter, it's another thing to share a pic of some child you don't even know with you million dog rescue "friends" that you don't really know. The other time it bothered me was when she used a pic of Zoe because of her facial expression and captioned it with a political statement. No. My baby isn't here to sell political bullsh!t.

Yeah, she's lucky that I was staying with the kid in the hospital or I would have driven to her house to punch her in the face. We didn't want ANY pictures of her with her chest open since she'll have repeat surgeries in the future (around 5 years old and around 12-15 years old) and we don't want her seeing those pictures and freaking out. I hated that FIL took one while I wasn't around, but I can't change that now. I did share one post surgery after she'd been closed and still had tubes entitled "Locutie of Borg" (Star Trek nerd here!) because she will see those same tubes after future surgeries and I want her to be used to looking at that. She'll never see herself open and doesn't need to!

OMG yes! I have an aunt who does this crap. I de-friended her because of it. When DD was born, she took all the pictures of my daughter off mine and my mom's FB pages and posted them to hers. DD was sick and she would post every little detail about how she was doing for the world to see. We were trying to be nice and include her in updating the family about DD's status but eventually I just had to put a stop to the nonsense. After DD passed, it continued with memorial type posts. Since DS was born, she tried doing it again so I told my family not to post pictures of DS on their pages. She is friends with DH so unfortunately she still has access to them.

It annoys the **** out of me. She behaved the same way with my wedding. She tried to take over the last minute preparations. She has serious boundary issues.
