Wow, I thought I had seen it all.
This was posted on a facebook group wall. I deleted a few things from it because we don't need to see that language. Comments? Do people really feel this way? |
| what was the group? a group for women with severe mental illness? |
Hahahahah! |

I actually agree with the masturbation part if she was referring to people who post breastfeeding pictures on FB. There are many sexual deviants who don't care what your boobs are doing as long as they can see them.

Crazy. Anyway obviously you can set fb privacy to keep out strangers and to even post photos so only certain groups of friends can see them. One presumes you can sort your friends into pervs and non- pervs
It is hypocritical that a person ttc would expect people to hide their own baby pics. Every single ttc woman I know sent out baby pics. |

by that logic, I should ask all my friends not to post their wedding photos because it hurts my feelings to see everyone getting married when I can't find a boyfriend. Or they shouldn't post things about promotions or raises or getting a new job because I don't like my job.
see? ridiculous. Life isn't fair. Not everyone is going to have babies just because they want to. There's no shame in it. It's sad and I feel bad for them, but everyone else's life doesn't stop because of it. |
I agree that this original quote was ridiculous. But, I will caution that the bolded statement is most likely not true. A longstanding member of my community, a teacher with whom some of us have been friends since high school, almost 20 years ago, was recently arrested and pled guilty to child molestation. There were absolutely no indications that there was anything wrong with him; he was a social, jovial guy who had actually shared a house with several friends over the years. It was a shock to everyone - his friends, his family, and his students' families. After much consideration, I still post pictures of my child (the known child molester is obviously no longer on facebook), but I urge everyone to make that decision with the knowledge that you really may not be able to tell the difference. |

I tend to be pretty laidback about this stuff, but agree that people really should be careful about what pics of their children they are posting.
I have a friend who has posted a full on nudity shot of her youngest boy. Not sure why and I don't think she has properly set the privacy settings either. I really want to say something to her, but feel like she would take it as being judgmental. Suggestions? She isn't a close friend, but still.... |
Me too, except it's not a friend but a friend of a friend, someone random from high school that I have no business stalking. So I can't really say anything. Like you, I'm not one to get worked up about kid pics on FB, but full frontal nudity just seems wrong. If nothing else it seems like a violation of your kid's privacy, especially when you don't even limit who can see it. |
| I messaged a friend once and suggested that she might want to delete the full-frontal-nudity pics of her 2-year-old daughter from FB - they'd come up on my wall when she published them. She replied back that she had her "only friends" selected, but I said, "i hear ya, but you should just be really careful. You just don't know who's seeing them. Just be careful." I'd never put naked baby photos of my daughter online, and I hesitated before posting a topless photo when she was 1.5. I do post non-naked photos of my kid, with the "friends" setting on. |
