I have a six month old baby boy, which I am currently coparenting with his father. We live separately and right now he is watching him during the day, (while I work) and then I have him as soon as I get off, for the rest of the day. We have been bumping heads about certain things like he wants to take the baby everywhere (zoo, people’s homes, baseball games, etc. and he also likes to post the baby on his Instagram story every single day.
Am I wrong for telling him to slow down and having an issue with him constantly posting the baby and taking him everywhere?? I feel like he’s still very young and he even mentioned potentially traveling to see his family and taking the baby with him.

I started taking my daughter to the zoo at 5 months old. And to see My family at 6-7 months.

Honestly I think its amazing that he puts that level of effort in. You absolutely have a say in him being posted on Instagram though

I've been catching hour long trains to visit my family with my LO since she was 3months old. At least he wants to spend time with them I guess

If the issue is frequency of outtings and social posts, then I think you probably need to take a step back. If you dont want the baby posted online at all, thats a different discussion. Unless he is being reckless with the baby's health and safety, I think you should embrace that he wants to do so much for his child. This does sound like you have maybe not a "control" issue but something similar where you need to work on being more comfortable with him doing these things

He sounds like a good dad 😬
Thank you all! I needed the honesty
