[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't. Parents can be so insecure about milestones and some may have kids who are quite a bit behind for various reasons. If hate to make them feel less than even for a second.

But you should definitely send the video to all the grandparents, aunts and uncles![/quote]

NP. I wouldn’t intentionally hurt someone’s feelings but this is over the top. I mean, I tend to think social media is stupid and rarely post anything or react to things but I don’t live my life in fear of insulting someone else. How can you?[/quote]

I don't live in fear, I just try to put myself in the shoes of some of my Facebook contacts. I have very good friends who have dealt with infertility and others who are disabled or have disabled kids, and one whose kid is waiting for a lung transplant. That's just the ones I know about. And I know for a fact this would upset some of them, because they have confided in me. Sure you have every right to post what you want. I just wouldn't.  I would send it to family members or friends I knew would be happy to see it.[/quote]

You have friends struggling with infertility - does that mean you have never posted a picture of your children on Facebook?[/quote]

Actually in my case yes, though those friends have met and love my kids in person so the fact I don't post pictures of them at all is not related to the topic at hand. Why do you care so much about my perspectives? OP wanted opinions and that is mine. You're allowed to have a different one.[/quote]

You really don’t see how it’s relevant? PPs were trying to understand how extreme your reasoning was. If a line of reasoning leads to absurd conclusions — e.g., its offensive to post a single picture of your kid ever — it makes it less credible.[/quote]
