Geeky stuff

Arrrrgh, privacy, photos, and tagging on Facebook

Okay, I know Facebook oughtn't really to be classed as "geeky stuff", but I wasn't sure where else to put it. There are a million different websites telling me how to make my pictures private, and how to deal with other people's photos that I'm tagged in. However, my question is this:

If I upload a photo, and tag my mum in it, how can I ensure that the photo is visible to my mum but NOT my mum's friends?

I've already set the privacy settings so that everything is "friends only" - but it seems if you tag a friend, "friends of friends" is what happens, regardless of settings. Any ideas gratefully received, it'd be a shame to stop tagging people in things they might find interesing just because I like my privacy!

your mum has to change her settings

Even though it's my photo, in my photo album? What would she set her settings to? She'd have no problem with her friends seeing photos of her, but I do, because I don't know her friends.

(obviously same goes for all my other friends, mum is just a convenient example)
