My mum keeps sharing photos of my newborn on Facebook

This really annoys me, every time I put a photo of my newborn in Facebook my mum will share it. Her Facebook looks exactly like mine now!
Also I'm not sure I like the fact She shares my photos as I don't even know what her privacy settings are like.

Would this annoy anyone else or just me?

You can see what her privacy settings are like, it shows on each post, either a globe (public) or a group of silhouetted people (friends). You seem more miffed that her feed looks like yours, she's a proud gran!

Am I missing something but I just don’t see why this is a problem.
You love your baby and want to show them off. Your mum loves her grandchild and feels the same way.
Why do you not want her to share the pictures? What is the problem with her sharing the pictures?

My mother in law would do this which is exactly why I won't be posting any pictures of my newborn when it arrives next month.

I worry about this too, so I don’t put pictures of my child on facebook. If you choose to post photos online then you are giving up control of their audience.
