To not want pics of my baby plastered on FB?

Ok I have not got a child (yet, he is due in 7 weeks) but I have explained my reasoning to DP who completely agrees and yet his family are completely devastated by my choice, despite the fact that they have whatsapp etc.
I just don't agree with pics of my nieces/nephews/own children being plastered all over fb, my sisters have never done it and I have never posted a picture on fb of the kids without their parents express permission first. My SIL and hubby are not on FB, but her kids pictures are all over her family's profiles, wall, shared with friends etc and it really scares me. My eldest nephew was abused by a family 'friend' 8 years ago and put pics online of him so you can see why I'm worried. His family just think I'm being neurotic and it will change when my son is here, I don't think it will, I'm very stubborn and if someone tells me I'll do something I'll go out of my way to make sure I don't!

AIBU in wanting to keep my life off FB?

Your and DP's choice of course. There are many other social media apps that you can share pictures on as well. You can change privacy and security settings on most of them etc. We've been happy with dropbox. I also share videos/photos on FB but only with close family.
