My ex and I have been divorced for two years and share two children. When he began dating someone new, she initially seemed kind—until she started posting photos of my kids online.
Public posts showed their faces, names, school uniforms, and private moments I hadn’t even seen myself. I wasn’t angry. I was afraid.
In a world where protecting children’s privacy matters, that level of exposure felt unsafe.
I asked her politely to stop. She refused, saying she was “just proud.” So instead of reacting emotionally, I spoke calmly with my ex and explained the real risks of sharing children’s lives publicly.
Once he understood, we met with her together—not in conflict, but united as parents.
She apologized and removed every post.
Now we have one clear rule: no photos of our children online without consent from both parents.
Because a child’s safety will always matter more than social media attention.
