I would never post someone else's pictures without their permission. The same goes for mentioning them if I check in on FB.

I understand your surprise but my kids are the same way. they are afraid of posting pictures because of pedophiles and kidnapping.

Just for clarification, my granddaughter just posted the same picture I did yesterday. I guess she just wanted to be the first. Though my wife took the picture and sent it to me via text.

In my opinion, your granddaughter is in in the right.

Her being the mother, I can totally understand that she wants to do the announcing. However, it is a bit strong to 'demand', she could have just let it slide.

My daughter doesn't want her childrens' images to be on facebook and I agree with her.

I think it is important to ask. I only show pictures of my children and grandchildren to a fairly tight group of friends and I have checked with them that they don't mind. I don't worry too much about online privacy, myself - I am sure that we have very little control over what is known about us as soon as we enter the system - but I know some people like to feel they are in control of what is shown about them. It sounds as if she wanted to be the first to show the picture, which is understandable, too.
