Obviously, many nannies thought this was a cruel thing to do.
Apparently, this nanny asked permission to post this picture on Facebook from the parents. Although in my opinion, she probably asked for permission to post pictures of her charge, not for permission to post a picture while the child was in distress.

My questions are;
Would you allow this picture to be online of your child?
Would you allow your nanny to post any picture of your chiild in an online Facebook group, supposedly private? Keep in mind that even though a group is private, it can have hundreds of members who can take that picture and do what they please with.

Nannys feel free to weigh in as well, just save the drama for facebook. Sorry for any typos, I'm on my cell.

Ah yes it was in the Nanny Care Tribe group. Great bunch of gals who talk shit about their bosses and who posts inappropriate pictures of their charges. If I was that child's picture I would be pissed off and that nanny would be gone.

They're children doing what EVERY child does. This behavior is expected. Whatever is classified as embarrassing is usually something that is abnormal.

Actually, the post happened in Nannything Goes. Someone asked about it in Nanny Care Tribe (mentioning no names, not even the name of the group), and wondered how other nannies felt about taking pictures of charges under duress.

The poster in Nanny Care Tribe made it quite clear that the post was about another nanny group and described the picture. It was not a simple "Hi everyone, just curious how you or your MB/DB feel about posting photos of your charges online?"

You nannies are bored silly.

It's true. We are. On vacation this week and I've forgotten how to interact with humans whose diapers I'm not responsible for changing. I'm beginning to rethink my willingness to work the kind of hours that don't allow for a regular social life! I begin actually caring about Facebook drama. And as they say, ain't nobody got time for that. Oy.

Would you please stop your personal bickering? Thanks. No one cares.

Is this really a thread? Does it matter if some people would allow their nanny to post stuff like this to a FB group or that some wouldn't? Everyone will have their own opinions on whether they would or not, what would be too much and it really doesn't matter in the end. There is always going to be a wide range of answers for questions like these. Unless you are doing a poll for a class that had something to do with this, it is pointless to ask about it. It would be the same as asking at what age would you feel comfortable letting your child go to a store by themselves (and then that would have many variables that would influence the decision etc). Unless your nanny is asking you to let her post this stuff, and even then you can come up with your own decision, leave it alone.

Haven't you noticed that most people here appear to be incapable of coming up with their own common sense decisions. Example: Do I have to let the nanny eat my food? (This is the same nanny who is raising their child for 50 hours a week.) Answer: "No, it's a negotiated perk." Let her starve to death if she can't find some spare time to get herself to the grocery store.

Or:
Should the nanny use my washing machine for her personal laundry?
No, let her do it at home after her grocery shopping.

I caught nanny napping on the couch during my kid's nap.

Fire her for sleeping on the job.
Etc., etc.

Since when is a job supposed to be like a prisoner labor camp?
