To “censor” my dd on social media?

My DD is 7m old, and I am choosing to not out her photo up on FB etc.

If I do, the. It’s the back of her head in the situation, so might be sitting in the park. If her face is visible, I cover her face with a smiley face sticker. Say she’s part of a group picture
i don’t want her face online yet. My friend thinks I’m being precious.

I just think, I don't want people sharing those photos to all and sundry!

I hate this and laugh at people that do this. Just don't post them at all if you don't want them visible on there.

My sister does this with her baby but posts her older child, she also posts my children which I don't mind but find it odd that her baby is too precious for her to post but mine aren't.

This is the kind of pfb thing that mothers grow out of eventually and it gets a massive eye roll from me sorry OP. As others have said, if you don't want them on social media don't put photos of them up (or any photos at all). But really, you are over-estimating anyone's interest in seeing/exploiting photos of your LO. There are literally gazzillions of photos of babies and children on the internet, your babies image is of no interest to anyone.

In my "defence" ... I work in a secondary girls school in the IT department, and know what can happen when things go wrong :/

But I'm happy to accept I'm a bit PFB! And have removed the photos, and will not upload anymore for now 👍

I have instagram, I do post pictures of my son sometimes, but his face is never visible and I only post pictures that don’t give clues to our location.

Hmmm that's quite patronising.

Your not being precious I think that putting your childs photo on social media is really unfair on the child and we don't put my DC on there. I feel like they should decide what they put out of themselves when they are old enough
