Am I overreacting? Baby on social media.

Not over reacting. At this point tell them if they don’t stop posting her face, then no more taking pictures.

No bring it up again they need to respect your decision and u need to re emphasize ur boundaries !

That's not overreacting. It's disrespectful from their side. No pictures with the baby unless they comply with this

Agree that they were given clear, simple boundaries that they've disregarded. So yea, I'd say something and set a consequence - like no more photos of LO if they can't respect your request.

I’d report every picture they post and if they can’t stop posting then no pictures and if they still do it then no visits :) fuck around & find out

It’s actually a severe safety issue. There are disgusting people that will do nasty stuff with normal photos of babies and children doing normal activities. If you go on tik tok and see videos of people’s kids, see how many people save them. See how many grown MEN save them and comment nasty things. It’s honestly a severe case of having to protect your child, and if they don’t respect that they don’t have to see the baby at all’s

No you're absolutely in the right, even if they have good intentions, her pictures are accessible by anyone and there are some bad people out there. Put your foot down. If they're offended, too bad.Your baby is the most important right now. Tell them to delete it.

You tell them and make them remove the pictures, make sure you see them do it too and then keep an eye on them, so they don't do it again...like you said it's your choice and you haven't even posted pictures. Also ban them from having pictures with your baby and of your baby, until they agree not to post them anymore

YOU are the parent. It’s your choice on every single thing that has to do with your baby. Nobody else gets a say. If you say no that means no. If it were me and they didn’t take down the pictures and stop posting I would deny them all access to myself and the baby. No means no and it sounds like you told them many times and they still won’t listen. Actions have consequences. Go to the extremes and maybe they’ll get the point.

Bring it up and show the videos others have posted about not only what other people may do but also consent with kids.

I told my family the exact same thing and luckily they respected that completely but you are not overreacting at all. If they keep doing it you shouldn’t let them take any pictures of the baby or send any pictures to them. It seems harsh but it’s your child and if you don’t want them on social media you have every single right to keep people away that are disrespecting your wishes or limit the contact they have with you.

I felt this same way . It is sad how social media is the connection for ppl . It is almost like no avoiding bc they want to share w ppl that may be far away .

It is literally you’re baby!!! Why should others feel the need to disobey you’re orders and decisions for their entertainment? Sis simply report all the posts and take a screen shot for evidence next time you tell them or see them post your child.

Not overreacting, when you said you didn’t want pics of her on social media, you meant that because you don’t even post her at all. For them to willingly post it knowing that you didn’t approve/want any pics of her on there is extremely disrespectful. I suggest either repeating yourself very sternly or simply not sending anymore pics at all. When they ask for pictures or question why you haven’t sent any let them know how you you felt disrespected! They can do whatever with their children but this child is yours. How is your partners view on this? Does he support you request?

No it's not overreacting. I'm not a very active user on social media and I only have about 60 people in my list and know them all but I rarely post pictures of my kids these days. I share on WhatsApp for family and when they want a picture they ask me to send it. But no-one would share them online. I didn't even have to tell them that. It's just common sense. Heck my mum even asked if she can show a printed out photo of my newborn to her workmates. Bless her 🤣

Not overreacting at all. You expressed your wishes…. They can’t upset with whatever happens from here 🤷🏾‍♀️

you can report the photos and they’ll likely get taken down since they’re a minor ! and i’d give a firm final warning that if it doesn’t stop i’m cutting off contact

I agree not overreacting. Definitely speak to them again and no more sharing or allowing photos to be taken by anyone else until they respect you as their mother.

I mean this is amongst one of the basic boundaries that most parents have nowadays why can’t people respect it. I’m all for do what you want with your own child but respect my boundaries.

Don’t send them any pictures and report any ones they have posted

Very disrespectful. I’d be furious. It’s not hard to follow, it’s a very simple rule. I don’t post my daughter either so I’d be very angry

My husband's aunt decided about a month after my son was born that her mom (who's in her 80s) needed a Facebook to keep in touch with friends. She created a profile for her and made the profile picture and cover photo great grandma and my son as well as posted like 12 photos of him. I reported each photo and the profile as fraud and they were taken down immediately by FB. We then had my MIL talk to her about how it was unacceptable.

We didn't have any other issues once we made a big deal about them not following our wishes. Now that he's a bit older I do enjoy sharing the occasional picture and I've allowed my mom, siblings, MIL to share photos as well as long as he isn't just plastered on every post. 1 or 2 every few months is okay with me

You should bring it up and you should also stop sharing pics with them.

I also don’t put my baby on social… thankfully people have respected that. But you are mom and don’t waiver if that is what you want. I would bring it up to them

Report the photos. Comment on the photos: “I asked you not to post photos of my baby on your social media. Please remove these photos. You don’t have permission to post them.” Commenting publicly will embarrass them and they will hopefully not do it again. As a consequence, no more photos of baby. No taking photos of baby, no more receiving photos of baby.

Comment on their pictures “I don’t recall approving this picture to be posted, please delete” so everyone sees it

Your boundaries and rules are important. Don't allow them to have photos of her if they can't respect your wishes

I love this, I am gonna start doing that!

Just remember YOU teach people how to treat you. Therefor if you let any disrespectful behavior slide once, it’s all over and won’t stop. Gotta nip it in the bud, whatever it is you’re not comfortable with.

I’ll be asking people not to put photos on social media, I don’t understand why people think that’s unreasonable… I don’t put stuff on social media as I have no need to, but even if I did, I still wouldn’t want people to as it’s not their kid 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ask them again and report the content on social media, i think that way it gets pulled down automatically.
