[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the situation, would like to get some outside feedback:

Recently had a baby, and never made a Facebook announcement about being pregnant &lt;&lt;pregnancy was out in the open to all those who we interact with regularly in real-life; just didn't want to put it on FB&gt;&gt;. My mother visited us in the hospital, took a fairly unflattering photo of me with baby, and posted in on FB with comment to the effect of &quot;welcome grandchild #5!&quot;.

Husband and I are pretty miffed; wasn't this our announcement to make on FB, if we felt the need? FWIW, we share many FB friends with my mother, so she definitely broke the news on our behalf.

Should we say something, or just ignore and move on? I don't have the mindspace right now to deal with the a confrontation, but if this sets a precedent for what the grandparents have the right to broadcast about our child, maybe I should say something? [/quote]

No this was nice of her to do, and it's her FB page with whoever is on there.  Can't control that...problem with FB.  She could have just as easily shown people on her phone.

Really not something you should blow out of proportion.[/quote]
