[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister’s DIL contacted her recently to request that she take down just one of the three pictures she’d posted on FB of the baby’s first bday. Why? He was crying in the picture (did not want anything to do with his smash cake). My sister complied but we both thought her reasoning was frighteningly controlling- Baby is usually happy! We don’t want to put those kind of pictures on social media because he’s not really like that. It made me terrified of the way she’s curating her kid’s life.  Basically- he’s not allowed to cry? Because it reflects badly (she thinks) on her. What should my sister have done in this situation? [b]She replied, well, I’ve never had anyone ask to censor my posts before, but ooookaaay[/b]. (More nicely than this but this was the gist)[/quote]

This makes me want to call out your sister (and you for not seeing it for the manipulation) because it's just the passive-aggressive maneuver my MIL pulls. Have an adult conversation with the DIL. No one has to agree with the mom's reasoning, but keep your snark in check.

And you personally were terrified about the child's social media presence being curated? Please. Get out of here with tour pearl clutching.[/quote]
