Picture taking?

Question

Do anyone have issues with ppl taking pictures of their LO? Sometimes they end up online! Do you have problems with this? 
My mother or side of the family take pics but I know for my mom it's just for reference to look back on kinda thing.  I have anxiety almost sometimes when my in laws are in town one they stay with us and bugs me right off the bat but then taking pictures of my son and sending them to other family members and sometimes gets online.  Sister in law was just here and took some and they ended up online.  Do anyone have anxiety over these things? If so, or either if you don't but you have some advice maybe could you share?  I want to be nice to in laws I do love them but sometimes it annoys me that they do these things but I don't want to be a bitch and say you can't take photos or can't do this ... I don't want tension it's like I feel I should just kinda say to myself relax breathe lol.  
Anyone share some thoughts maybe would help me relax a little!!
Thanks

I made it pretty clear to everyone before I had my son that I didn't want photos of him on fb. For me it was my mother and mil using photos of him for likes and attention. My mother made a huge deal at first, but got over it. The one time my husbands cousin posted a pic we messaged her and kindly let her know that we weren't ready to share his pictures on social media yet. She understood, apologized and took it down. Maybe you could say something along those lines?

Answer

I made a separate family group on Facebook that I told people they can post pictures in. Because I am the only admin of the group, I am in control of what is posted and who is able to see it so I feel much better about the pictures being online and my mother-in-law still gets to put up pictures. I had to have conversations with my mother-in-law about not posting pictures of my son all the time on her personal page. Some people just don't get the privacy thing.

It's a pick your battles kind of thing. If it's something that really bothers you and goes against a belief system you have and follow you have every right to ask people not to post any pictures of your child online.

I don't mind people posting pictures unless they are nude pics of any kind. Too many creeps out there!

Answer

only person I despise taking pics of my kids is my SIL... she posts lots of pics of drugs and alcohol and just plain old ignorance and I just do not want my kids on there or being associated with that kind of thing. So I block their faces anytime she tries to whip out her camera and I've also declined her requests to follow/friend me on any social media because she has also reposted pics I've taken.. some may say it's petty but oh well.. my kids my rules.
