My parents use photos that they've edited &amp; cropped ... sometimes as their profile photos. They love LO, and they are super proud to show her off. I roll with it. If I was concerned about LO not being online, I would say, "DH and I really want to keep DD offline, so please don't share photos of her!" -- They would respect it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415427 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 01:07:19 +0000 jill_a55 2415427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: yes. yes. yes. This happens a lot to me too. I also turned on the "ask for approval" option on tagging pictures because they'd tag themselves in stuff that made it seem like they were there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415426 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 01:04:37 +0000 jill_a55 2415426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsB2012: not even remotely okay. I would go ape shit on that one!! When lo2 is born I already am planning a no social media rule until after I post, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415425 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 01:02:23 +0000 jill_a55 2415425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I've calmed myself down (target run!) and think my annoyance with this specific time was the crappiness of the picture he posted. I totally get the proud grandpa point and he just wants to share.<br /> He has posted something in the past that was completely out of line, so I think I am just a little quicker to snap at what gets posted from him. </p> <p>Woooooosaaaaaaaaah 🙃 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415406 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 00:02:24 +0000 HLK208 2415406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wouldn't bother me. It only bothers me when it's news or something that isn't theirs to announce, like a new baby arriving (before the parents have had a chance to share), an ultrasound during the first tri, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415402 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 23:35:33 +0000 gracecat 2415402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsB2012: wow I would be so pissed!! Did you ever say anything to her much later? I would get revenge by purposefully sending very belated news or photos of LO because I'm petty like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415399 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 23:33:21 +0000 gracecat 2415399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be annoyed but probably let it go unless it happens frequently. In my case I would know it comes from being happy and proud of his family but I'm not sure what your relationship is with your FiL. Next time I would write my Fil or say something if I didn't want a photo I sent to be posted online. But yes I can totally see why it would bother you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415378 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 23:10:38 +0000 AprilFool 2415378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even though he didn't take the picture, by giving it to him as a gift, it is now his to do with it what he likes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415376 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 23:08:52 +0000 Raindrop 2415376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like you just wanted to be asked before he posted it?</p> <p>Maybe you can tell your FIL to ask you or your DH before posting pictures you privately shared with him?</p> <p>I can see this being annoying. BIL post pictures of my LOs to get likes, mostly about how spoiled my LOs are when he comes by. I wish he didn't do that but at the same time I can not control him. So I let it go. *sings frozen song* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415366 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 22:53:09 +0000 MrsB2012 2415366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would bother me. When DD2 was born, DH took a fresh pic of her - still some blood on her, fingers still quite blue ( she was so blue when she was born as the cord was wrapped around her neck ) basically just pretty gross ( and completely naked) looking. He texted it to his mom ( along with other pics of her dressed and looking nicer..) she put the first picture up on fb. I was so mad. She luckily cropped her vagina out so at least that wasn't on fb. I was so mad, but I didn't ask her to take it down as I couldn't without going psycho on her. I reported it to fb a million times, I'm not sure if they ever took it down though. </p> <p>So no advice, but I'd be annoyed too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415335 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 22:22:38 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2415335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't bother me in the slightest! Proud grandpa wants to show off his grandchild. I think it's sweet actually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415318 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 22:10:12 +0000 Trailmix 2415318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not bother me at all and I think it's a bit crazy to be bothered by it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415286 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:45:45 +0000 Glitter 2415286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't bother me at all. I'm kinda happy to see people I love showing my kids off actually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415285 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:45:32 +0000 Kimberlybee 2415285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as it's a good picture of my kids it wouldn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415271 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:29:30 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2415271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't bother me at all. Proud grandparent sharing pics of his grandkid. I wouldn't think twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415266 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:26:37 +0000 cam 2415266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wouldn't bother me unless I was trying to totally keep my kid off fb </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415258 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:21:47 +0000 regberadaisy 2415258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, that wouldn't bother me.<br /> @MamaBear87: that would and is completely different! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415232 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 20:57:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 2415232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get the annoyance. My dad will save and post photos of my Lo and my nephews as his own, as if he was there. I think part of the reason it annoys me a little is that he never visits us- we live 5 hours away, I've been here for 8 years, and he has come up 5 times- my wedding, birth of dd1, two weeks after dd1 was born, her baptism, and when dd2 was born. So I kept annoyed that he's acting like he was there when he obviously wasn't. And he doesn't share the photo, he saves and posts it new without tagging me. But almost always photos I already posted on FB or don't mind him posting. </p> <p>But I take a whatever attitude about it and just treat it as an excited grandpa who doesn't know social media Niceties. And I read all the comments from his friends saying how beautiful my girls are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415225 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 20:51:39 +0000 erinbaderin 2415225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents do this all the time and it annoys me too. My mom is constantly taking photos I put in Instagram (where I have like 8 followers, all of whom are good friends) and sharing them on Facebook. That being said, I know that it's abbot crazy and petty of me so I've never said anything about it, I just roll my eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415190 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 20:28:59 +0000 catomd00 2415190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I didn't like my FIL this would probably annoy me a little bit not enough to think twice about. I don't think it's the end of the world or worth confronting him about unless<br /> You have previously asked him not to post pictures of DS on Facebook and he aha disregarded your wishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415187 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 20:27:19 +0000 Greentea 2415187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give a disclaimer and always ask that no one social media me.</p> <p>However, you are saying you just didn't get around to it, so you seem to be fine with sharing the pic... you just don't like the quality of his crappy pic of the pic or you think it rude for them to share your pic?</p> <p>If it is the latter I would just tell people please don't share prior to them having a pic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415181 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 20:24:04 +0000 pinkcupcake 2415181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see it as a grandfather proud to show off his grandchild. If you don't want him showing your kid to others, don't give him anymore pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415180 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 20:23:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2415180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be annoyed if I purposely kept my LO off social media and the grands didn't honor my request to do so on their end too. In this case you post pics of your LO, so no, not annoying. However, I would make it a rule/ request that all pics of your LO on social media also include an adult in the photo. This may reduce the chances of someone stealing your LO's likeness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415174 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 20:18:40 +0000 ms.line 2415174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would annoy me, especially if he doesn't have solid privacy settings. But I am pretty touchy about social media. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415170 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 20:15:08 +0000 yoursilverlining 2415170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's a grandpa sharing a picture of his grandkid with his friends. No, this wouldn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415169 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 20:12:44 +0000 HabesBabe 2415169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jill_a55: I honestly don't see what the difference is with the form/media in which the sharing took place. Would you request permission every time he showed the physical photo to someone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415164 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 20:09:16 +0000 jill_a55 2415164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: i get that, to a point. He shares stuff I post on Facebook, which doesn't bother me and if I gave them a cd or something of the pictures I feel like I'd be a lot more okay with it. I just feel like since it was a print of one it's not really the same... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415163 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 20:09:09 +0000 Ree723 2415163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't bother me in the slightest. If it was a picture I didn't want anyone else to see, I either wouldn't give it to anyone, or I would specifically request that it not be put on social media.</p> <p>Truly though, I don't see what the big deal is..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415160 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 20:07:45 +0000 mrsjyw 2415160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My inlaws thankfully aren't on social media. But we also have other family members who do take pics of the kids, or we text them and they share on social media. We are okay with it since we've shared the pic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-annoy-you-4#post-2415158 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 20:05:58 +0000 jetsa 2415158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If anyone who loves you're lo is on social media this is going to happen over and over and over again so I'd just get over it.</p> <p>We have friends who keep their son off FB yet all the relatives post pictures when they're with him so it's pointless on the parents part I suppose there are less pictures but ehh.</p> <p>I don't see why it matters. He's excited and happy for you; roll with it. </p>
