I have a picture of DH, myself and his kids on my FB picture. We all went on vacation a few weeks ago and had a nice photo together. The kind that never happen where everyone looks good. No one blinking, funny face, etc. 

So I put it up as my profile photo. BM stalks me. Not sure how as she is blocked. Must go in somehow else. Anyway the point is that BM has told me I must take the photo down immediately. That she did not give me permission to post photos of her children with me and her ex. Umm. Okay. 

She let me know that if I didn't take it down that she would be calling her attorny. Lord.

Not tagged. I'm actually not friends with the kids on FB because their mom knows all of their passwords so they know that is why they are not friends with me or their dad on FB.

i agree, plus these kids are teenagers, then they can have a say too. no daubt they have their OWN facebooks.

btw if they are tagged in said photo and are friends with BM on FB it might be how she gets to some info. FB has been changing things with privacy alot lately.

yeah, if they are tagged, and they are on HER friends, she'll see them....i dont' assume ANYTHING on facebook is private anymore-almsot ready to delete my account

Ive never had that happen.  I dont have stupid friends that nitpick ridiculous shit just to be assholes. 

However IF it did happen, I would probably take the pictures down ONCE and let them know that if they had a problem with it then they would have to not bring their kids to our gatherings anymore, because those photos are how mine and Js family watch DD grow since they are all out of state, and to me that is more important.  It would be up to them to decide if they wanted to continue to bring their children to our barbecues and gatherings (that we do nearly every weekend in the summer and for pretty much all holidays). 

As far as bio and step kids go, you dont need bms approval.  their father is their parent and has just as much right as bm to say yes or no, so if he says yes, then that is MORE than good enough. 

Quoting yesmaam:

 And then BF has to hear about it. I will say my BIL got pissed at DH for putting pics up of his kids too. So would you suggest to anyone who disagreed with you putting up pics to shove it, or is it just b/c its BM?

For example you take pics at SD's birthday and post it. Some of the other moms (your friends) ask you to remove it b/c they don't want their kids up there, would you tell them to shove it?

Quoting luckystars2012:

If your dh is ok with it, that's all that matters. Bm can shove it.

BM is just jealous that her children and Ex are happy in a photo with YOU!  Enjoy!  Keep the photo!

If dad gave you permission, whats the big deal?

I don't understand why people fight over this crazy stuff. It's petty. She needs to get over it.

As long as you have permission of the other parent, it should be fine.

I agree that you shouldn't take it down.  And also to make your profile completely private.

BM wants me to upload pics of SS as long as I tag her in them, so I've never had this problem.

This is a pic of your family. Not her family. Even if you share a few family members.

How petty can a person be? That's such a silly thing to fight about.
