One of the first things my husband and I agreed on after we got pregnant was NO pictures in social media sites. We absolutely have not changed our minds and our LO is 4 months old now. But, not even 24 hours after she was born, my husbands sister posted a picture of her. So, not only was I robbed of posting her first picture, but they went against our wishes and by the time she removed it 75 people had liked the picture. And I did not know even one of the people that liked the picture! My husband was starting to waver the next time it happened and his dad posted a picture just because his family is so annoying about it. I was over at their house at dinner while my husband was at work and his dad said something rude. My LO had just learned how to laugh and was being adorable and my sister in law said (to her dad) don't you want to take a picture? And he replied why? It's not like we can post it on Facebook. When I told my husband he was just as upset as me. So I decided that, with Halloween coming up, I would not be able to keep her out of the pictures so I was going to just post the first picture of her (and my husband and I) so that I am not robbed of yet another milestone. I really don't want to but I know I will be even more upset if more pictures are posted of her and I have no say in it. But I also can't expect them to study the pictures to make sure she is not in any of them. I told my mom about this and she doesn't agree with me. (My family has always been really supportive of our no pictures on Facebook stance.) She said that once I put up a picture that will be their excuse for posting pictures of her even though I don't want them to. What should I do? I know our society is all about technology now, but we are trying to keep her from that as much as we can.
