Yes, you do not own your children (they are "yours" in their origin and your responsibility towards them). Children have an expectancy of privacy and anonymity much more sensitive than those of grown-ups. Parents have no right to pretend they know their children's desires in this context.
Not that I am against ANY sharing but sense and sensibility are both required.
(Edit grammery...)
- vacri 13y agoPart of a paren't role is to train their kids for the life ahead. Hand-wringing about "what my child wants" runs somewhat counter to setting expectations and desires. Plenty of kids only want to eat candy and ice-cream, but we don't frown at parents for saying 'no' to those desires. Share things sensibly. Maybe don't share things like naked bath photos. But your kids are part of your life, and it's normal to share with others the things you have done with the people close to you.
