[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly OP, it is a tough situation but here are my thoughts.

Does your MIL have Facebook?  Maybe somebody gushed to MIL about a pic you posted and she mentioned that she did not see it. So maybe your SIL was trying to keep her in the loop. With my parents, I have to print the pictures out and physically give them the pics.

One thing you need to remember though, DC is your child but she also belongs to a family.  Sometimes those family members will go overboard, will step on toes and will do obnoxious things.  But if their hearts are in the right place, they don’t jeopardize her health and they do these things because of their love for your DC, you gotta develop a thicker skin about it.

I would be annoyed about it, but I would not fall on my sword over it.  And I certainly would NOT take away her FB access.  That’s just petty.

The child "belongs" to the family, but the OP's photos do not. Perhaps the SIL did this trying to be nice, but it seems weird to make a book filled with another person's photos, and it's weird whether there's a child involved or not. It would be just as weird if I decided to make a book of my brother's incredible vacation photos and send them to my grandma so she could see them. Wouldn't the more normal reaction be to call or email the other person and say, "hey, those pictures of xyz are great! You know who would love to see them? Grandma! You know she never goes online, it would be cool to send her a set of prints or put them in a book for her. I'd be happy to help you out if you don't have time for that." [/quote]
