Uncomfortable
So a friend of mine just texted me that someone she went to high school with posted Audrey’s picture on her facebook page. My friend, understandably, was concerned.
I get that you can’t control the internet. And I get that if I am willing for it to be on Tumblr, then I need to be willing for it to be anywhere.
But it still makes me uncomfortable. I mean, she’s my kid. And now someone (who eerily lives in the same city as us) is taking pictures off my husband’s blog and putting them on her facebook page for all of her 400+ friends to see.
When I post a picture or just a regular spitting out words post, I feel like I know most of the people who hit the “like” button. I recognize names and faces. It gives me a (false) sense of security.
I don’t like feeling uncomfortable. And I don’t like that, for awhile anyway, I will think twice (if not more) before I post a picture of Audrey.

Why would she want a picture of her? (not that she’s not a crazy cute kid, of course). I’d never post a picture of someone elses kid; UNLESS, it was a super close friend. And it’s def not ok to “take” the photo w/o asking. I’d send her a msg.

When I saw how many notes that pic had I wondered how you felt about it. Posting a picture of someone else’s child to Facebook without asking them is inconsiderate…probably harmless but just really careless.

That’s totally reasonable. That picture of her was so stupidly cute but she’s not my kid so why would I take that picture. I don’t get it when people do that.

I’m torn on this. The picture...Audrey’s Heisman picture. I’m guessing this person...

Why did she post it? I don’t understand why anyone would post a photo of a baby who isn’t theirs?

That’s why I think I’m going to start putting watermarks on all future kid pictures. I don’t want to, but damn. Fuckin’ internet creepers.
