Do you post pictures of birthday celebrations?

[Anonymous]

I feel like I can’t or shouldn’t because of people who weren’t invited may feel bad.

[Anonymous]

Right that’s why I don’t do it.

[Anonymous]

Yeah don’t unless it was only immediate family.

I do. My account is private and anybody who sees it and lives in my area would be invited. If that weren’t the case I would not post pictures of parties, just the one being celebrated and the cake.

Op here. I have very few followers and they are all people I see and talk to regularly. As kids get older and make their own friends, we just can’t invite everyone.

No I would not. I get that you can't invite everyone, but I think it's rude. Why do have to post them anyway?

[Anonymous]

Yes, it’s needlessly rude to everyone who wasn’t included

I might post a pic of DC with their birthday cake or something (and so it's not clear if it's a friend party / family party / just immediate family) but other than that, no. I don't don't post pictures of guests.

I don't do this because I only invite as many kids as my child's years of age so necessarily someone is left out. My mother, who helped out at last year's party, posted a bunch of pictures on facebook and I ended up losing a friendship over it.

Same – less about a party, more about the birthday itself.

Sure. People need to be able to manage their own emotions. Not everyone can be invited to everything.

[Anonymous]

I don’t but it’s because I don’t think it’s okay to post photos of other other people’s kids.

[Anonymous]

No. Maybe if the birthday kid alone at the day of family dinner. Never of an actual party.

For research purposes I used to secretly observe male s** offenders as they would look at magazines in a waiting room. These were typical waiting room magazines- cars, parenting, readers digest, etc. The men almost always looked at the parenting magazines and would rip out pictures of kids and babies and hide them or take them home for ”later”. So no, I wouldn’t post online pictures of kids at birthday parties or kids doing anything for that matter. I figure you never know who might see them, locked accounts or not. But that’s just me, you do whatever you think is best.

I don't post pictures of other people's children on my social media.
