MBs how would you feel if..

This is not a big deal. I mean, I personally wouldn't but those babysitters complaining about the pic should go on YouTube and they'll see hundreds of videos posted by parents and childcare givers showing their child/charge throwing a temper tantrum. It's funny/cute to parents who 'get it'.

And no, i'm not a parent but I do think some of ya'll overreact over weird sh*t.

Let me guess. She's your average "market rate" nanny. You get the stupidity that you pay for.

For those of you who feel it's no big deal (regardless of the parent's behavior), I doubt you'd think it was funny if you had embarrassing YouTube clips of you floating around. I think it's mean and immature to be entertained by another person's sadness or misfortune. If you want to expose your own embarrassing moments, go ahead with that.

Okay so you're saying that the little girl knew her nanny posted the picture and now feels embarrassed? Right. You guys are making a big deal out of nothing.

No need for you to act that stupid.

I don't think it's such a big deal.

I do not understand our society's desire to post photos or videos embarrassing other people. Personally, I don't care if this girl had the parent's permission, it should not have been posted.

Exactly. Even the child should have some basic rights to privacy. Shame on parents and nannies who violate children that way.

Why are you insisting on keeping the drama? I am a member of both groups and I saw the first post. The nanny said that she had permission to post the photo. I have been watching both groups after the drama and it seems like the want to leave it behind. Grow up and let it go. There is no need to make a post about something that is false because the girl stated she had permission to post. Move on.

OP here, I wanted to get parents opinions, like I stated. Maybe seeing these opinions this nanny will realize her error. And I did not post anything false, I just included my opinion.

Wow, you need to mind your own business. There are many families who find humor in minor things like tantrums that are based over nothing. Just because you have this high all mighty attitude doesn't mean everyone else agrees with you. The only mistake this nanny made was joining a crazy nanny group full of assholes. Every family I have ever worked for has had a great sense of humor and enjoy the occasional funny pic. even tho I don't post on my Facebook, I know my families have posted these pics and even videos. Hell, my charge had a ten minute tantrum because i put the baby gate up to block her from the kitchen, I recorded her flipping out and sent it to her parents. What made it funny was that every time I calmly spoke to her while she threw this absurd tantrum she would immediately stop, listen to what i had to say then start flipping out again as soon as i stopped talking. If the nanny has permission and the child is okay than I see nothing wrong with it. My only advise would be to get a written consent form signed by the parents in order to publish any photos on any sites.

Dear lord, if you can't learn to laugh at yourself than life is going to seem very cruel and unpleasant. The child wasn't being abused and the photo wasn't a way of bullying. It was to find humor in common everyday events. I highly doubt this child is going to grow up to be an adult and say "what an evil person my nanny and parents were for posting a funny picture of me as a baby", i know plenty of adults that post their own funny baby pictures. Why not teach children not to taken themselves to seriously and find humor in every situation? Learn to be confident and not care what others think? A funny baby picture shouldn't scar a child for life, it should be a funny story to tell to all your friends because your so funny, confident and awesome!

The entire point is:
Go ahead and post all the stupid pictures and videos of YOURSELF, but not other people. Duh.

These are your charges not your own children, friends or relatives. Can you imagine pulling out your iPhone at your next client or board meetings, posting a few pics and tag lining "hanging out with cool CEOs, So awesome!"

Be professional.

I love it.

There is a difference between a funny picture and an embarrassing picture. A funny picture is one of you being stupid with your girlfriends and an embarrassing one would be of you with your sexface in bed. We can all laugh at ourselves, but sometimes, there are just things we don't want others to see.

Please tell me when this child was going to sign into her Facebook account to find this picture and be embarrassed?

Please tell me you're only pretending to be super dumb.

So it is ok for embarrassing photos of you to be posted online as long as you are not aware of them?
