Am I being petty ..

[B81292]

One of my OH 'relations' (no blood relation just a friend of the family who I don't get on with) keeps posting photos of my baby on Facebook without asking my permission. It annoys me so much especially not asking me first as she is my baby. Am I just being petty or would you be annoyed too? Should I say something ? Every time she comes round she sticks her phone in the baby's face and I know they'll end up online . OH doesn't see the problem with me , maybe I'm just an over protective new mum!!

Have you said something? It happens I'm afraid and unless you speak up they won't know you don't like it

I haven't had my baby yet, but I wouldn't be happy. Just FB msg her and ask if she can maybe put privacy settings on as you don't really like strangers(her FB friends) seeing your baby or not pu them on at all. x

No I wouldn't really be happy about it either, you should always ask someone's permission first really before putting pics of their children online. I think so many people do it now though people just assume that everyone's okay with it xo

Whenever I see someone taking pics of my children I politely ask them to keep the pictures to themselves and not send them to anyone or put them on Facebook.

It happens unfortunately as annoying as it is! The worst offenders are the people who take your pics and put them on as their own! I suppose you have to ask, does it annoy you because you don't like her or because you don't want pics of your baby up? If it's the latter, you defo need a word with her. Otherwise I'd let it go cos it's not worth getting upset over

Do you put pics on baby up on fb? If you do then she prob just thinks it's ok (or do other friends / relatives)? If you don't or don't use fb then it's really out of order and you need to say something. x

I personally don't have Facebook and have made it clear to family I don't want photos of my daughter on there. There has been a few people who have done it anyway (without asking) and I've asked them to remove the photos. If your not happy about it I would say something politely x

When my son was first born I was the same and as much as I didn't like my sister in law and my uncle in law's wife doing it, we don't see them enough to do it as frequent or that they would change their profile picture/cover photo with one of my son.. I don't do that myself as my son isn't anyone's business who doesn't know him and I don't want people who don't know my business to know about my private life including my son.. I would deffo say something about it if it bothers you.. I'm sure I gave subtle hints I didn't appreciate his pictures being shared privately..

T84 I think it's a bit of both maybe ? I think it's the fact she's no relation to the baby and I have no idea who she's friends with... She also passes off my pics as her own!! even my parents ask me if I mind them sharing a pic or putting them on I just think it's polite and respectful to ask
Becky1 yes me and my OH both do but not publicly, only to our personal friends ...so I guess it's our fault. His relatives are quite selfish and don't consider other people's feelings . Don't even know where to start with what to say to her!
