Dc are 2 and 4. I want to preface this by saying I get on well with my ILs generally but am struggling to see if iabu. Mil is great with the dc and generally goes with how we want things done and when they arent I generally dont really mind or bring it up as its not a big deal. My 2 main asks if that the children dont have photos taken of them in just a nappy, and no photos at all on social media. I recently got sent a photo of dc in a nappy which I asked her to delete and she did and last week mil changed her whatsapp profile picture to one of the dc. I havent said anything but it is really bothering me. I want to ask for it to be deleted but if you dont show your dc on social media would you be ok with this?

Aibu to ask her to delete it or blur the dc?

5 years, really? I don't think so & I dont think parents should be judged either. That's your opinion. Fair enough to go for infuencers who are sharing their kids with the world but for the majority of us who only have friends & family we shouldn't be ridiculed. I don't think our kids will come to us when they are older and say 'how could you have shared photos of me with your friends and family' should children be banned completely from these areas?
People need to get a grip. What about child stars and child models? They are online for all to see.

I’m not judging parents but agree it’s nuts that schools are doing this and think it will be very uncommon in five years or less.
On the one hand, primary schools are educating kids about internet safety while the school is simultaneously posting the kids’ photo, name, school, activities they’re into etc3 just the kind of information that could be easily misused to groom kids. It’s a total contradiction, the schools need to be leading by example.
regarding child stars/models: well, that doesn’t exactly have a good history, does it? Going back as far as Jodie Foster being stalked as a child.

@DreamyPinkFox
Why are you not judging parents?
Do you think that that they are less intelligent or aware than schools?
