AIBU to think it's really strange to post pictures of your child when they are sick on facebook ( with a cold or stomach bug for example)

[ArthurandJessie]

I have a few old work colleagues on Facebook who every few weeks will post a status containing a picture of their little ones with a caption such as 'poor bubba is sick again vomitted all night ' the child looks understandably sad and distressed. It just doesn't sit comfortably with me but I notice a fair few people doing it ! Does anyone else think this is wrong ? Or can someone explain why this is acceptable ?

exSIL has posted pictures of my nephew both in hospital wearing a mask while having an asthma attack and having a tooth removed. No idea why.

Think it’s weird to post pics of your kids on Facebook full stop.

I don’t like it. It feels like it is invading the childs dignity. I’m generally quite relaxed about pictures of children on SM but this feels like too much.

No reason other than attention seeking - let your child have some dignity.

I don’t have an issue with it, but my SM is locked down to only people I know. It would be weird if you have every man and his dog on there.
I unfollow anyone whose posts irritate me (my DB for one-I do love him but he does post some shite).

It's weird and unpleasant. I'd hate to have someone taking a photo of me and sharing it on social media when I'm unwell

Photos of children all hooked up to machines after major surgery are always weird ones to me.

It’s horrible.

Attention seeking idiots

I'm sure people do it for attention or sometimes to justify calling in sick at work 🤷‍♀️

If you don’t post it on social media, did it even happen?!

I was in childrens a&e once and another mum rushed her ill child because she was busy replying to a comment on her Facebook check-in. It's for attention and it's very odd.

They probably do it so they are not judged by co-workers without kids. I only just family and close friends on my FB, literally 35 people, so I put it on their so they keep up to date with my brood as we are all over the world.

People who do this are attention seeking arseholes

I hate it too, OP. YANBU.
