mainly, we decided that we didnt want our kids growing up online. if they should choose to post the stuff later on, thats their choice. but, i like knowing that our pics are limited to our household. and have been surprised at how many people have respected it and not posted their own pictures.
but, even so, i sometimes get annoyed with how much people post online. there is no thought given to future embarrassment or just plain crude things they post. i dont think people truly accept that once something is online, its there for good. then there are the vast amounts of pictures that are just plain inappropriate that people post like its nothing. im no conservative by any stretch of imagination, but i find myself shocked quite often at what people allow their young kids to wear in public, and post pictures of all over the internet (fb, blogs, tumblr, pinterest, etc.)
but, if any of our families want to see pictures of her, we can send them directly to them. or they are more than welcome to call and set up a day to come see them. we do have the ability seeing that most of our family lives relatively close by, but really its just like living in another state with us. we never see most of them. and phone calls are never made. and for the most part, im ok with that. with my family, distance is good.
