[quote=Anonymous]My teens/tweens have played travel sports for many years. Most of the organizations have had some sort of public social media (Facebook/instagram) mainly to provide registration/tryout information, recognize sponsors, announce teams and an occasional team recognition post.

I’m fine with my kid being in pictures of these posts. They rarely identify the kids and when they do I think it’s kind of like having your name in the newspaper.

However, a new team that my tween joined posts a ton on instagram/facebook. They post after practices, games, social media challenges, etc. To me, it’s too much, but my kid has no interest in being featured or interviewed so has mainly avoided it.

They’ve started doing “happy birthday” posts recognizing the birthday kid, their likes/dislikes, pictures and what reads like an AI written post. I find it creepy and a bit too much to post about a kid turning 12. It’s a public post about a tween. Am I being old and out of touch? I know I’ll get pushback if I tell them not to recognize my kid.

I am guilty of happy birthday posts on my personal FB page, but that’s limited to my 200 or so FB friends only, so doesn’t seem as intrusive. [/quote]
