posting pictures of DS

[camen]

Dp and I have decided that we wouldn't want to post photos of DS until he was christened which is happening this weekend. As it's coming up soon i've started to worry about people posting photos of him before DP or I get the chance to, as I feel it should be us doing so? Would I be unreasonable to ask that no one post a picture of him until we have? Totally fine after, but just not before us. I say this as I have a MIL and DP has a cousin who are facebook-obsessed and post everything at all times, and I worry they'll get to it before we do?

Am I being unreasonable and sounding like an utter brat?

Yeah this is weird and unreasonable. If you were not going to post any pictures of him at all, for moral/safety reasons, that would be different. But you just want to be first, and you've picked a random deadline for it. So yeah. I think it'd be a bit OTT to declare that no one can post any photos til you do.

You're well within your rights to ask people not to, though, and it would be out of order if people ignored you, just be aware than folk will probably think you're being a bit batshit.

Not unreasonable at all, we’ve decided we don’t want DD on social media at all. One family member ignored it and posted a picture but when asked to take it off they have and no big deal. Just make it clear you want your child to be kept off until you make the decision to put pictures up xx
