Boyfriends mum posting pictures of our baby on Facebook without asking. AIBU?!

[Tryingtobe123]

We have an 8 week old boy, first grandchild on both sides so I understand the excitement. I’m quite a private person, I guess we both are. But I ensure I put photos of him on my Facebook so that family can see him and keep up to date with things that he’s doing etc. It’s just much easier to have close family and friends on there. My account is very private, all info hidden etc. But every time I or my partner adds a photo of him on Facebook his mum then saves the photo, re captions it and posts it on her Facebook. She’s never asked if it’s okay that she does this - if she had I’d have politely asked her not to as I don’t know the people on there! He’s our child, surely it would be the polite thing to ask our permission?

Am I being totally unreasonable to be getting frustrated about this?!

Like what? It's just normal. Why do people make a massive thing about normal communications?

I don’t ‘make a massive thing about communications’ because I have good relationships with family and friends.

Most likely because I don’t speak to them in some terse, unfriendly way.

What are all these replies?? You can post your child if you want to, just because you do doesn’t automatically give others the right to. The sense of entitlement these days is shocking. People posting photos of your child without your permission is so disrespectful! You shouldn’t have to tell them that it’s not ok. Your Facebook sounds as private as it can be, your child, your rules! I’m aware how late I am to see this, what happened in the end?
