to not post picture of baby play date

[Pokemonlovepower]

So my baby had a playdate with a couple of babies last week and I took some really cute photos of the afternoon. I sent them to the other mums who were the delighted at the photos!
So yesterday I was casually hanging out with friend and was cropping the other babies out of a photo to post on Instagram ( so only my baby would be in the picture, showing off her cute new outfit). My friend couldn't understand why I was doing this and thought I was being paranoid /OTT to not include the other babies. In my mind it's not my place to post photos of other peoples children on a social network platform. Was I being unreasonable ?? X

I wish more people were as considerate as you! I would really appreciate being asked. I’ve had to ask friends and family to take down LO’s photos more than once - it’s so awkward and very frustrating.

I think you did the right thing, I don't post pictures of my granddaughter anywhere unless I have had permission from my daughter, she always says yes anyway as my SM is as locked down as it can be. I would never share a picture of anyone else's children without asking either. Once a picture is out there it stays out there, we live in a terrible world, and have to protect our children from whatever and whoever we can xx

All babies look the same though so does it matter?

My kids are all teens/20s and post their food/drinks/every move on the Internet.

I really wouldn’t fuss to be honest your kids will far out do you regards internet in s few years but by all means crop your baby photos.

Babies don’t all look alike, what a silly thing to post.

One of ours has a distinguishing birthmark, and one looks EXACTLY like one of us did at the same age. Either would be easily recognisable if our relative who is dangerous to children were to see a photo of them.

When they are older they can make their own choices about internet safety. For now nobody should post photos of them online without my express consent.
