A few photographers we used posted hundreds of photos from sessions on their own facebook. I have quite a few photos of him to share with family and friends on my page but I never felt like I should tell people not to share his photo's...they love him and just want to show him off (SIL, my sisters, MIL, a few friends and even my cousins have posted a lot of photos of DS) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144408 Tue, 01 May 2012 22:39:23 +0000 Katm558 144408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really have an issue, since we keep in contact with lots of family across the country via Facebook, so this way they are able to both of my LOs.</p> <p>However, some of DH's family that I don't really know decided to start tagging themselves in pictures of my LOs. I am NOT ok with that, and ended up sending them lots of messages about this, and eventually unfriending them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144390 Tue, 01 May 2012 21:44:50 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 144390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have NO pictures of our kids on Facebook. Facebook has full rights to any picture you post to their site. No way I'm going to let Facebook have that kind of power. Further, with out explicitly writing in to them to delete all the information, your stuff will remain in Facebook forever.</p> <p>At least with our own blog, we have FULL control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144388 Tue, 01 May 2012 21:43:41 +0000 googly-eyes 144388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she gets here, I don't want other people putting pictures of her on the internet anywhere. I MIGHT post a rare picture, but like you said, with the privacy settings of my choosing (HIGH!)</p> <p>ETA The only exception would be a family member who has high privacy settings who asked me first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144387 Tue, 01 May 2012 21:36:16 +0000 cupcakemama 144387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: totally true. I guess it's linking LO's photo with my identity in the public forum that kinda freaks me. The creep on the street doesn't know my ( or LO's ) name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144366 Tue, 01 May 2012 20:58:57 +0000 Mrs.Someone 144366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcakemama - you absolutely have every right to make decisions for your own kid, and your friends/family should respect that! However, (unfortunately) there is nothing to stop that stranger from taking a photo unless they ask and/or you see it. A creep isn't going to ask, and will make sure you don't see :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144363 Tue, 01 May 2012 20:58:15 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 144363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I plan on asking our friends/family to not post pictures of our LO once it's born. We already had one of DH's uncles ask if he could make one of our sonogram pictures his profile picture on FB. It just seemed very weird to me since I don't know who he's friends with or who he knows that would want to see that. I know it's innocent, and he's just excited - but it's just not something we're comfortable with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144357 Tue, 01 May 2012 20:52:34 +0000 cupcakemama 144357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Actually I would think a stranger on the street can't take a photo of LO at any time without my permission. It comes down to privacy and not wanting photos of my cute baby out there in the public domain. It just creeps me out and there are a lot of wackos out there.</p> <p>Having said that, I have no photos of LO on facebook. My brother put a non close up on FB after LO was born, which I am cool with. No one has put any up since. My kid, my decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144166 Tue, 01 May 2012 18:04:53 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 144166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't had a problem with Facebook, thankfully. Everyone has respected our wishes and no one has challenged our authority.</p> <p>With that said, we have a problem with photos being forwarded through email, or photos being printed and shown off to everyone (and by everyone, I mean the kid who bags your groceries). So, we stopped the problem: Certain Family Member no longer has access to photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144165 Tue, 01 May 2012 18:04:49 +0000 Mrs.Someone 144165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a LO yet, so maybe its not fair for me to chime in, but this is an issue I don't really understand...</p> <p>A stranger on the street can take a photo at any time and do whatever they wish with it. Creepy, sure! But family and friends are certainly a step up from strangers.</p> <p>What is it that worries you about having photos online? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144156 Tue, 01 May 2012 18:00:23 +0000 Mrsbells 144156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am against it. I had to specifically tell people not to upload pics of her. Only the parents have the right to post pictures of their baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144138 Tue, 01 May 2012 17:54:22 +0000 chopsuey 144138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made it clear that I didn't want pics of my LO floating around FB and people were good about respecting my wishes.<br /> They always asked if it was okay first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144125 Tue, 01 May 2012 17:49:44 +0000 sorrycharlie 144125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine isn't here yet, but I won't mind it. the only thing i'd mind is if someone posted a photo before I was able to, mainly when she's first born :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144124 Tue, 01 May 2012 17:49:16 +0000 Rubies 144124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cancelled my FB but when I was on it, I asked people not to post picture of my LO. And people were very understanding about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144116 Tue, 01 May 2012 17:45:16 +0000 heffalump 144116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind others having pictures of LO. We have some friends and family that take pictures of her and post them. It doesn't bother me, they just want to share the cuteness with their friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144074 Tue, 01 May 2012 16:59:31 +0000 Honeybee 144074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a Facebook profile, and my husband does not have any pics of our kids on his profile. And we've asked family members to remove pictures of DD from their profiles; we're just not comfortable any pictures of DD or DS on Facebook, especially on other people's pages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-others-posting-pics-of-lo-on-facebook#post-144061 Tue, 01 May 2012 16:51:48 +0000 polkadots 144061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've made it pretty clear that I don't want others posting pictures of LO. I had to remind several times, ask people to take the pictures down and even had people ask if they could After I've said no to them. I was ok with pictures being on my profile since I had my privacy settings as high as they could be and only family as my friends, but with all the fuss of others wanting to post I deleted all my pictures and haven't posted any since. This makes me sad because I would love for my family to see pictures of LO since we don't see them often but nobody understands that I am ONLY ok with them on my profile. </p> <p>How do you feel about this? </p>
