There's a couple I know, acquaintances, and they have their dgds to stay most weekends. 3 girls.
If it's relevant the children are the grandmothers sons children and stay at the grandparents during his access time while he goes out, he's not with their mum. The grandfather is a step grandfather (not the sons real dad). The grandchildren are primary school age and one is a toddler.
The grandmother posts absolutely everything on Facebook and her relationship with ex dil is very bad to non existent. They don't like each other at all.
Recently there's been loads of photos of the 3 girls in the bath. I thought I wouldn't post those especially as a grandparent but none of my business.
More recently though there are photos of the eldest girl in bed asleep with the grandad with him spooning her. He's fully clothed but she's only got her pants on. What's more is the grandmother has over 1000 friends so hardly a private page.
I'm not saying there's anything going on but a few things crossed my mind.
Is it ok for a step grandad to sleep in bed with his primary school age dgd particularly cuddled up to her in just her underwear?
Is it ok to post the photos on Facebook?
I've no doubt it's completely innocent but to me it just oversteps the grandparent relationship, I'm thinking in terms of teaching children boundaries and privacy.
There is also that niggling doubt in the back of my mind, there was some abuse that went on in my own extended family and it does make you suspicious because you know even the nicest, loveliest people can do terrible things.

AIBU?
To think these Facebook photos and maybe the content are inappropriate (possibly triggering)
