AIBU to ask my ex to ask his GF to removed the photos of our children from Facebook?.
Her profile is public and I do not know her or anyone she knows.
I have not given permission for the photos to be put on her social media and feel that this is disrespectful.
I have asked nicely.

Does he post photos of the kids? He has obviously given her permission to do so. If you asked for them to be removed, would they be? Or would it juts be a conversation with conflict. If you don't post your kids- I get it. But if he has given permission to do so, when the kids are with them, I don't see this as something you can win, and therefore don't see the point in making it a thing TBH

If their dad is happy with it then it’s not really anything to do with you I’m afraid .

Yanbu. I don't even let my dm post the names or pics of my dc on social media.

I think it’s reasonable to ask her to make them private, unless neither you or your ex post your kids on social media at all, then it’s fine to ask for her to remove them.

I don’t think you can stop her posting private pics otherwise as you can’t dictate that if she is in their life, it’s similar to a non immediate family member or family friend posting them IMO.

I think that’s fair. Others will not, but I really resent how Facebook’s default privacy settings for profile or cover photos are “Public” unless you select the audience for each post. It’s a dreadful site

Yes I think that is fair

Depends on if you post pics of your children on social media?
TBH if their father doesn’t have an issue with it there’s not a lot you can do.
