lol, most stupid things happen after they turn 16, and you can't even control it. I never saw someone post any picture which fits your description. Most pictures come from proud parents and many people enjoy them especially friends and family who don't live nearby. |

But you can just as easily share pics and updates via email, no? Or mass pm via FB messenger? Why do photos and updates need to be public/plastered on one's Timeline or Instagram for all to see? Seems many people use their kids' accomplishments as another means of validating their own selves. (Not implying you guys do this, but it's clear that many people do).
Unless of course, these things are only made viewable to close friends and family, then yeah I suppose that makes sense. But imo, email is a better way to keep things private.
I dunno, the more I think about it the less I understand why nobody gives a second thought to putting their kids' lives on display. Like as if we are obligated to or something. The people who matter no where/how to get updates. |

You can, I mostly use Whatsapp to send pictures of my kids to my parents and sister, but those are more and different pictures than what I share on FB. I never post pictures on my kids birthday's, something which others do annually. It's more like sometimes a picture when my son is siting on a lawnmower or tractor, or a holiday picture. Nothing I would regret later or to be ashamed of.
I also don't have a huge amount of FB friends, 230 or something and most are family or people from work. Some TA's or music related, like Wiener who also shares pictures of her son and daughter now and then. If she didn't I wouldn't have known her kids are of similar age as mine. Some uncles and aunts like to see pictures of my kids as they don't see them often, but they also won't ask to send pictures of them, so FB is fine for that with a couple of pictures per year. I don't even have Twitter or Instagram, no need to have it all.
The last picture I put on FB with my kids on it was on holiday in April. |

| Just want to clarify I don't think the issue is about embarrassing pics and whatnot. It's about the child's privacy and autonomy. |

| not to take this issue away from children, but i don't understand why people feel the need to post their private life and pictures to people in the first place |

It's true, you're right about that. I have also significantly cut down the amount of my own pics and life events on FB, along with severely culling my friends list. It's seriously mostly cat pics and tunes I like. Lol.
I think it's obviously appealing to people, again, because of the validation aspect. I believe it all started out innocently enough, but now it's just this whole other, out of control, cultural and social animal. |

That doesn't make sense, you do know the origin of groot? :)
You first need to ask if she wants to ;)
A German cousin of my wife had a baby girl last week. I saw on FB that the hospital posted pictures, name, place, names parents, weight, length of all babies that were born in the hospital in that week on it's FB page. |

It's the mega ultra prequel costume! And if she grabs the costume and shakes it...it's going on! |
