I don't know about you...
...but I don't feel right displaying other people's family pictures on public forums like mypace or fb, especially without their consent. SIL took it upon herself to duplicate Val's pictures and posted them on her page! I don't even have them on my page yet.
She has a public page and I just don't feel comfortable having every aspect of my life and my child on display for the world. My pages are private for a reason. I gave Val permission to use us on her blog because it's only a few sample pictures of her work, but SIL has posted many pictures of us. She even has one of me practically naked in the hospital after R was born!
I'm glad she likes them and that she's a proud auntie, but I don't know why she thinks it's appropriate to copy and post private family pictures that are not hers.
Am I being unreasonable here?
Re: I don't know about you...
I don't think you are unreasonable at all.
When my niece was born I asked my sister if it was okay for me to put some pictures of her on my blog and facebook. The second she has a problem with it, all pictures are coming down.
Not at all!!
A friend of mine took pics at our house on labor day last year and posted them on her myspace and it said "labor day at the ___ house" And then when Mary was born she posted the pics with her full name. I told her to take off our last name.
I think you should tell her to take them off if you're uncomfortable with it.
It's ok that she was annoyed, she'll get over it. Does she know how you feel about posting pics online? It's something she needs to respect. There's far too many weirdos out there so I don't blame you.
Not unreasonable. ?
It's an image of you, you H & your D - -I think you have the right to tell her that she shouldn't be posting pics up of you guys.?
She only started doing this since R was born, so I haven't told her. I never thought she would *steal* our portraits, so I am going to have her brother let her know that we (I) don't want her to post them. He knows how private I am about these things, so I hope he will tell her.
so many freaks.
I have my profile on private (and just changed my pics to private. I didn't know people who are NOT my friends could look at them! a co-worker was looking. I was so mad) but I purposely don't put Cameron's pic as my main.
Ehh she'll get over it. Sorry you have to deal with the drama.
I don't think a lot of people realize that even if your profile is private, your pictures aren't until you specifically set them at private.
