Annoyed by mothers Facebook use

[Rasingbunny]

I don't like social media think it causes more trouble than its worth how ever My mother is an avid user if Facebook to the point it's anniying tagging me in some silly post daily ( usually something passive aggressive or fishing for a compliment) now I usually just ignore it, she is quite aware if how much I don't like my personal life being put on the Internet ( I have not announced I'm pregnant on any form of social media) but she put it upon herself to post my scan picture without my consent when I had it and now I'm almost 9 months she posted the most unflattering picture of me ( I haven't even posted any bump pictures) now I'm a big girl and can deal with an ugly photo what I'm struggling with is will she post pictures of my child onto the Internet without my or my partners consent

Nobody uses Facebook anymore

"Mum, I'm not sending you any pictures because I can't trust you not put them on Facebook without my consent."

Exactly.

You need to handle this now, otherwise it will get worse after your little one is born.

There is such a snobbishness about FB here in mumsnet, and the funny thing are people who don't do FB because of security and use Instagram or play games like candy crush who are all owned by FB!

ANyway - i set up my profile that i have to approve any tag, so things don't appear on my profile when i get tagged.

and i also am not friends on FB with family...

The thing is though blocking your mum, changing tagging rights etc won't stop her posting them. You just won't see what she does post! And I'm sure she had people you know on there (my mum does)

Apparently youngsters use snapchat and instagram which I don't really understand how to use but it's still very much used by my friends and family. We must be old skool!

Fevertree makes a good point as well as an excellent tonic you need to cut your mum off at the source because she'll be posting photos of your child and you won't be able to monitor it. Tell her that you'll ban her from taking any photos and won't hear the birth announcement unless she starts respecting your privacy.

Don’t have a face book account would be a good start if you are a private person who doesn’t like seeing pictures of you. Secondly ask your Mum straight out not to put anything up without your permission. My family all know not to post any pictures of me or my kids or dp on any social media. My children can make that decision for themselves when they are older.

Have you asked her not to do it?
