[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I usually post a few weekend pics of my preschool aged kids, and milestone pics like first days.  I keep my friend list pretty low around 80 so I don’t think it’s for “attention”.  I love looking back through the posts to be amazed at the cool things I’ve already forgotten about and that seer that we’ve actually accomplished a lot.  I also hope my kids go through it someday and have great memories.  Parenting goes by fast!  The grandparents/family live away and abroad so it means a lot to them.  I certainly would not be offended for anyone to unfollow me! I love seeing other parents posts because parenting can be isolating and also I get great ideas.  I avoid embarrassing or “bad day” pics due to kid consent issues and I just accept that everything we see on Facebook is rose colored and not necessarily real life.  [/quote]

Oh yes it is so much easier to find stuff if you have posted it to Instagram! I often regret not posting important things that happened a few years ago because it’s hard to dig through tens of thousands of worthless  to find them. [/quote]

We do this but with a shared album on a private photo app. We have invited just family/very close friends to follow (< 20). There are many reasons why I don't think Facebook is the right app to chronicle my child's life.[/quote]
