the sharing of photos with your children in them..

[*Efjay*]

I have a lot of family I do and don't talk too & I would not like it if I found out my sister who I talk to was giving my dad or other siblings copies of my photo's. I have sent messages to people saying not to share my information & that includes photos. I know Mym Nan would be showing/sharing with my Dad but I doubt he is actually getting copies. But it annoys me so I deleted her of my FB.

Thanks for your replies

Im of the same opinion as you all, that copying and then going on share the photos isnt cool, especially without consent from the original source.

I ask because in my opinion I thought it was kinda like an unwritten rule, that its not ok to copy and share pics without consent from the original source. Like we take a pic of our girls, give it to the inlaws, who then photoshop it, copy it and email it to the rest of the family. Now whether we get along with the family or not doesnt really matter, I kinda feel like they have disrespected us by sharing without consent.

But its interesting, I know that once we share a pic we lost the control of how it is used to a certain extent, but I have hope that maybe morals or ethics would apply as well?

But thank you

I guess im on the other side.
If my Inlaws/ mum and dad/sister take photos i dont have an an issue with them being shared amoung family. even ones i rarely see. we send a family photo out with chrissy cards but any that are shared around the family i dont honestly mind. im lucky as dispite the over-extended-ness of my family we're all fairly close. and it seems all of dads side have a "family collarge" on a wall with photos of all the family and vairying familiy events ect. I guess that i want other family members to see my kids grow up. I guess too with the resent passing of two close family members and seeing how many photos they had that my mum and dad had printed/emailed it made me realise that even though we didnt see them beyond maybe twice a year, they where still very much in contact with our kids and us. which means alot for me.

As for promo photos we had a photo shoot for the early intervetion service that have helped DJ. we saw that as helping them show how much good they do and help the *whole* family out too. we expressed we wanted no location shared but names where ok, as long as it was "shortend" IE D@z was DJ and V!(t0r was Vic.
