Photo posted of children without my consent

[OneCalmReader]

Hi,
I recently posted about my Narcissistic MIL. She had got angry about me not posting a photograph of her hijacking my two DDs first look at my wedding. She ruined part of my day by sabotaging a first look between my DDs and she can’t seem to understand why I am upset about it and she decided to call me horrible names and say things to belittle me.
Well, yesterday she changed her profile photo on Facebook to the photo I never wanted to post. It wasn’t supposed to happen and she had access to it from a private album of our wedding photos. Where do I stand with this? I have reported it to Facebook for violating my privacy as I haven’t given her consent to post an image of myself and my children, but I haven’t heard anything back yet. I’m just not sure how to take further action.

I read your first post and have some sympathy that she barged in when you’d told her beforehand that it was going to be a special moment with you and your DDs.

But ‘content creator’ - come on now! You’re in danger of making the wedding more important than the marriage.

I think what you should do now is concentrate on the happiness of being married and (gently) get over what MIL did. Don’t let her get to you so easily. Block her on FB if you can’t rise above it.

I’m not sure why people are triggered about having a content creator at my wedding or the fact my 11 year old wanted to record a first look. That’s not the point I’m trying to get at. My MIL went against my wishes.

🤣🤣🤣

JFC.

I can’t respect this either, you sound nuts. your old enough to have an “adult daughter” yet fell for this self centered bull shit.

You shared the pictures with her...

Oh dear…..

We’re’triggered’ (wtf) because it shows that you’ve blown it all out of all proportion. You’re coming across a bit extremely Bridezilla about the wedding.

As per PP is this the cloud that you want permanently hanging over your relationship with MiL?

It's a bit off of your MIL, but the presence of a professional photographer would have taken the gloss off the intimacy of the moment for me anyway.

What a flippin drama!!!

If your DDs are under 18, she was wrong to post their picture without consent. But the whole content creator and first look stuff sounds way OTT.

Bridezilla much?

Find out from the photographer whether or not the copyright in your wedding photos has been assigned to you (it probably hasn’t as wedding photographers usually retain the copyright). If it has, you can report it as copyright infringement to Facebook (with the evidence that you own the copyright) and they must remove the image. If you don’t own the copyright then there is nothing you can do. You could I suppose try to assert a human rights (right to private and family life) argument but if you post pics of your daughters on your own social media, that will not work.

I don’t think anyone is “triggered”, just can’t believe the nonsense of a content creator.

Is your DH happy for his mum to post the photos? Insane it’s his DD? Also that he was at the wedding? A lot of “my” wedding and “my” DD.

Life is short. Family is precious. Be happy that your MIL was so excited about your wedding and enjoy her enjoyment.

Don’t post anything that you don’t want anyone in the world seeing, sounds like a fuss over nothing, FB don’t even remove harmful photos unlikely they want to get involved with an issue you caused by posting a photo.

Sorry but you're talking about people being 'triggered' by this batshit?
From what I can gather the 'first look capture' is your dd displaying shock, awe and amazement at how you look in a dress?

Ugh. Dragging an 11yr old into social media one-upmanship drama with your MIL is pretty shit parenting.

A content creator at a wedding is a new one on me.

By ‘special’ you mean ‘staged’. Who even has a ‘content creator’? Is the OP Kim Kardashian?

Content creator
'First look'

Wow. Are you a celebrity OP?

Oh sweetheart, im most certainly not triggered and I bet your mother in law thinks your a bit of a dick too. Get a grip for God's sakes.

She sounds like a sensible woman to me. I do think anyone’s ‘triggered’ by you having a content creator at your wedding… we just think it’s pretty hilarious.

I don’t think anyone is ‘triggered’ by using a content creator at your wedding. I suspect most people just think it’s one of the most ridiculous things they’ve ever heard. I also think it’s incredibly sad that people have become so vacuous nowadays that they are worried about something like this. However, I agree that no-one should be posting any images of children on social media, particularly other people’s children.

I think I might be a bit triggered by just by the existence of a job called "content creator"
