To ask this mum to delete the photo?

DS and his friend bought 2nd hand school dresses at the summer fate and dressed up in them for a laugh. The friends mum took a photo of them and put it on her social media.

DS starts secondary in September. I asked him if he minded the photo being on there and he said yes, he did mind. He was worried about being bullied for it next year.

I politely asked the mum to delete it. She did but hasn’t spoken to me since.

WIBU?

Oh, yes absolutely, yanbu at all

Tbh, this mum shouldve thought about him, before even posting it 😒

I'd end a friendship over that, but I was bullied badly at school and fear my dd experiencing the same x

Of course not! Are you bothered that she isn’t speaking to you now? I’d just let her get on with it! You did right by ds!

Fuck her. You did the right thing.

The dresses aren't the issue. She took a photo and your son wants it down. That's that.

Although, she really shouldn't be posting pictures of other people's children on her social media full stop.

She shouldn't post pictures of other people's kids without checking, and you did the right thing requesting it was taken down.

No you weren't unreasonable. She's not talking to you because she's embarrassed that she made a mistake.

Have you tried contacting her since?
