yes and no. i was the same exact way. but i got over. my daughter is a year old. but i will admit i am careful about WHAT she is wearing in the posts i pick and what "poses" she is in. and my profiles are private i do not add people i do not know. i did make that same threat to my SO.

i told him he either had to make his facebook private or make the album with her pictures in it friends only. so the album became friends only. he too thought i was crazy and said the same things your SO said and i said pretty much the same things you said. but i post my daughters pics in certain areas cause i have family across the country and some of them are not facebook users. i do post to online albums cause remembering what i sent to what family member is frustrating. this way i send one link and they can see her photos. now the online album is not the most secure so my family does not have to be members of the site to view. but their selection is limited and no cute messy half naked food covered baby photos. if they wanna see her cute and covered in food they have to visit me.

i think you are completly justified, my father in law works for a news channel and he thought it would be nice to include my sons photo in a comercial without speaking to me or my husband; I flipped out! You never know who is watching, looking or doing things they shouldnt. My husband thought I was nuts but he sided with me and told his father to remove the comercial. We are the parents and we must do everything we can to protect our children

I don't know if I would have felt any differently. I am very particular about who meets my children in person and on facebook. I have a very limited profile and I'm on friends with people I know (and not even all of them are permitted to see my pictures). I think as a parent, it's our job to protect our children for as long as possible. You wouldn't invite a stranger into your home to meet your child, so why would you do the equivalent on the internet??

Me and my man are on FB too, our kids are on our profiles and we have both got ppl on our friends lists who we don't know because of games. I don't much care who they are as they don't know where we live so they can't do me or my kids any harm and I have never had any probs from any of them. And when you think about it, I very much doubt theses ppl look at every profile searching for photos of kids. Generally speaking paedophiles prefer chat rooms or things directly linked to kids etc not Zynga games!

o good, now i feel okay telling you this...NO..you are not crazy..you have every right to feel that way...

I don't even have a Facebook account and have asked that my family and friends not go posting pictures of my daughter on their sites. I do not know if they are respecting my wishes as I cannot and do not wish to be involved with social networking, but I think your request is perfectly reasonable.

id do the same thing but my husband and i have both made it so only our friends can see pics of our children for that very reason so no you're not out of your mind for saying so you have every right to protect your children.

Your not crazy I do the same thing.

Beth - posted on 03/17/2011

you're out of your mind and your justified. we have to be a little paranoid and mistrustful to keep our kids safe

Jenn - posted on 03/17/2011

You are completely justified. I am always worried about things like that

As someone who has people she doesn't know IRL on her FB for the purpose of playing games, you're not out of your mind for it. I hide my kids' photos for that very reason.

You're completely justified in asking your husband to change his security settings! I have very few photos of my son on FB & I only have people I trust on my friends list.
If you have any family or friends with an older son, ask your husband what he'd do if, hypothetically, he found out they were abusing your daughter... It'll bring it closer to home & he'll probably understand your concerns a little better.

Def Justified. i sure would not want someone, possibly a perv, looking at pics of my little girl. Us moms are always the protective ones, the men are too laid back about things sometimes

Erin - posted on 03/16/2011

I agree with you i wouldn't want someone the myself or my parnter didn't know looking at pictures of my kids my parnter doesn't have any pictures of the kids on his facebook acc for this very reason

well I added friends when i used to play farmville and they are still on my list my pics are for family only but my profile pic people can see and ive got one pic of my son on here Anyway i think "facebook" games took to much time out of my day/night so i gave up on them I'm really not sure on this one aye...

LOL you sound like me. I'm anal about who adds my husband or i on FB. So we only add people we know. It's creepy letting randoms look at your pictures (my children, even pictures of myself). I hate it. My husband thinks i'm overly sensitive about it but he listens to me anyway because well... everyone knows the wife wears the pants in the family. LOL just kidding :D

I think your justified, i dont have pictures of my children on here so i understand. Its a mothers instinct to protect our children.

Kristen - posted on 03/15/2011

I think you were justified. I'm the same way with my Facebook, my husband and I only add people I know, and I have asked my family to set any pictures of her to where not everyone can see them. I know how you feel, I do not want anyone that I don't know having access to pictures of my daughter, it's creepy.
