I texted my mom a picture last night. She posted it to fb this morning, tagged me and H, and captioned it with something about the three of us being all dressed up.
That's weird, right? Like, I don't know if it *really* bothers me, but what if I wanted to post it? Or what if I didn't want it posted. It just feels odd.
Eh I agree with above poster about olds v internet. But I think probably you sent it she loved it and wanted her friends to see her beautiful daughter son and in and grandchild.
I too though would annoyed because my mom used to do that stuff all the time. But I am guessing she is just not aware that its not the thing to do.
I feel like this kind of internet etiquette is the sort of thing that a lot of our parent's generation just don't get.
Like I see her being very confused if you tried to explain why you didn't like it. Truly not understanding why, even upon explanation. Sigh. Olds. But agree it's a super cute pic!! (Which would only befuddle her More as to why you don't approve of her posting w/out permission)
is it the fact that she put it to FB, or that she made the comment/
More that she posted the picture. I texted it to her, so it's not like she shared my post.
My mom would ask first, but I guarantee that if I texted her a photo I'd get an immediate text back asking whether it could go on fb. Because she likes showing photos of her kids.
My parents do this too, especially with pictures of C. My mom's profile photo is of H, me, and C, and her cover photo is my brother and SIL
Ditto everyone else that their generation just thinks of the Internet differently. I had to ask my parents to change their privacy settings for pictures of C, because they are all public, and they gladly did, it just hadn't occurred to them.
