It’s always been rude to tell people excluded from a social event about the social event. Whether you’re chatting about it over lunch or whether you post a picture, if other people on the periphery of a social circle are being told about a private event held without them, you’re being rude.

I don’t post pictures of children without their parents’ permission, so I just text them directly. That being said, nobody cares that you went skiing. Post away!

There are two kinds of people in this world. People who think we want to see their vacation photos, and those of us who know the truth.

I actually invited a lot of people but I couldn’t invite everyone.

Most of my parent friends post. They post vacations, first time their kid walks, Disney, beach, hiking. Nothing is exciting. We all share similar posts.

Do you find these posts interesting? Do you think more of the people posting?

While I agree that none of OP's examples should be posted, or need to be posted, you've got a long road ahead of you.

Ok boomer.

+1. Not the hard to be a good person. Also, no one cares about your kid's birthday as much as you do and no one really wants to see it. I spend 10 minutes or less on social media a week and it's amazing.

How can there be an expectation of privacy when you allowed your child to attend a birthday party at any public facility? Posting pictures is normal. The only child identified would be the birthday child.

Some of you are just crazy.

Posting pictures of a birthday party is not normal anymore, it peaked in the 20teens when people still thought Facebook was cool. Its ok to stop now, or your children will ask you to stop soon.

DH. You're writing this like "this is absurd what these 'rules' have come to" but I actually agree that you should not be posting any of these things. And I have to tell my *mom* these things. These posts are each bragging, in their own way. For various reasons, many of which you already listed, there are people that will see these posts and it will not make them feel better about themselves. So why post it?

If you have a picture from vacation you want to share, then share it on your group chats with your family, that kind of thing.

You gave your permission by accepting invitation. It's a party and parents want to show their child/children having a good time with their friends.

Absolutely 100% wrong.
