Hi forum fabbers ... honest opinions please. I posted some pictures of my niece a few weeks old - had asked my brother if it was ok - didnt say who's child it was etc. Anyway he got a telling off from his partner and now I'm not allowed to put anymore pictures up. Also the message wasnt directly told to me. A bit miffed

Brighton - even Hove!

These days I’d err on the side of caution and let the immediate family decide.

He should have got us wife's agreement. I wouldn't post pictures of my kids on line anywhere when they were young. Not that the internet was available to us then anyway.

Why are you miffed? Your brother said it was OK without checking with his wife, she told him off, you've took them down... What bit are you annoyed about?

Ah right. It's probably your bro she's pissed off at more than you, after all he gave you permission, that's why she told him off and not you! I wouldn't worry about it

To be fair you didn't ask her directly. I suspect she feels back bit miffed too.

I honestly think you need to accept that your brother did wrong not asking and by default so did you.

I’ve put photos of my baby up on FB but I’ve asked people to double check with me before uploading anything. If they don’t, me or C will ask them to take it down.

My brothers partner did the same thing to us kinda.

We’d been to visit my nephew in the hospital when he was about 12-18 months and took some photos with me and my kids.

Brothers partner but some of them up on her Facebook so I did the same and then she complained to social services (they were going through the process of losing their kids) that I’d put one on Facebook and was forced to take them down even though she’d put them up first and as far as I’m aware, they’re still there.

It's a tough decision and many are based on fear and lack of understanding, generated by certain groups and media creating paranoias. Facebook is a lot safer than it used to be. There are far more privacy controls than use to be, restricting who can see pictures but as has been said it is really down to the immediate family to decide what is acceptable and what isn't.

Why would you put pics online of someone else's kids anyway?

I personally don't have an issue with people I know putting pictures up of our kids, our friends and family have many times without asking permission and it doesnt offend me in the slightest, maybe I'm more chilled than a few people lol

I copied and pasted the legal text about Facebook from some profiles I saw on here so I’m covered for all the photos on my Facebook page, threw in the other legal bit about using my pics too

Not *your* kids. You didn't ask their mum for permission. Can't blame her for being pissed off at you.

Its never bothered me at all..brother would have my boy for sleepover.. take pics of them up to their antics. Hed put them on fb. Its your niece. I dont see what the problem is. Do all her friends and family have to ask your brother each time? Were you even told of this rule?
