Posting pics of play dates

Do most parents view it as a social error to post pictures of their kids play dates? Just wondering as some people post them every time they meet up. Obviously if they are very close friends then it's more acceptable... but I mean school friends. Obviously there's the fear of creating jealousy/ making others feel left out to consider. Is this the main reason why? Personally I don't post pictures of play dates, maybe on my stories with no faces visible. Unless everyone is ok with a group picture at an event or something,

Yes, I’d never post photographs of play dates. I think it’s unnecessary and intrusive. There again, I don’t post my child on social media in any form.

It wouldn’t cross my mind. And if I’d be agog if I saw someone had done so and I would assume that they had no life of their own so had to pin their colours to their children.

Also I would not let my child go to the house of someone’s parent who did this.

I send a picture to the parent on Whatsapp to show the kids having fun together sometimes. Not on social media.

I raely post my children on social media at all. I'd feel very weird about another parent doing it, and for something so mundane.
