[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. You are out of sync. Just ask her to fix her settings. Then you don’t have to see them

Problem . Solved.[/quote]

Way to (deliberately?) miss the point. She doesn't want anyone seeing pictures of her child.

OP: Tell Grandmother that you do not want your child on social media and if she can't respect that, you'll have no choice but to either take her phone/camera when she visits, or prohibit visits entirely. [/quote]

No. I got the point. I do not believe a single parent has the legal or moral right to do this.  It is ALSO out of sync with social norms, especially if grandma only has her grandchild posts on friend-settings. [/quote]

It’s not out of sync with social norms, it’s out of sync with boomer entitlement, that’s not the same thing.[/quote]

What is it with the boomers? My mother is personally offended that we asked her not to post pictures of our kids.  If we try to explain reasons she just argues with us.  She complains constantly that she wishes her sisters could see how the kids are growing (I told her to feel free to text photos to her sisters, but this does not satisfy her).  Why does she care so much about posting pictures of my kids on FB?  Attention, I guess.

Anyway, in this case (since ex has refused to step in), I like the first proposed response to grandma.  Sure, you have no leverage if she refuses, but she might well be a nice person.  Dare to dream![/quote]
