Um, well, let's see...to name a few: I have pics of my kids in bubble bath, pics of them using the toilet for the first time and pics of one of my daughters at about age 2 standing in front of our huge picture window in only shoes and a hat. She had gotten out of the bath and dressed herself and those were the items of clothing that were *important.* We also have pictures of them right after they were born while they were still being cleaned up--obviously naked.
My point is--those pictures are fine for family to see, IMO, but not appropriate for posting publicly or even showing to friends.
Yep!

Five year old children are still being breast fed in many countries including some here... so if we are talking a 5 year old and 1 year old... well they are both still pre-schoolers.. No objection from me on the nude pictures but the public posting would be a problem.
I have video of my boys running through the sprinklers in undies with the youngest (2 years old at the time) diaperless, or fully naked if you will. I didn't see anything wrong with it then and I don't now... It was cute but I wouldn't post it on FB.
I also have pictures of them being cleaned up after birth and in the bathtub.

As usual the Brat has hit the nail on the head. Ditto me for this post.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

My friend, there just may not be a way to address this. best to leave it as it is for now.
You were right to suggest facebook is no place for that kind of cute family picture.... (I agree there is nothing wrong with the pictures, but only in posting on the internet).
I just have to think that there are underlying issues here that have nothing to do with those pictures or your reaction to them.
My advice is to figure out what those other unspoken issues are and work to address them.
Peace my friend. I am sorry you are suffering like this.

What do you think about a loved one posting full frontal nudity pics of their children (5 years and 11 mos) on Facebook?
When I commented that it bothered me and I thought it was inappropriate, I was lambasted for not respecting her parenting decisions, but at least she appeased me by taking them off Facebook.
I complimented her for "doing the right thing" and she became furious. I tried to reason with her, but it only made things worse.
What should I do? Should I just contact Facebook next time and let them take it off?
Nope.
You told her she was wrong and that was the best and most direct way to deal with the idiot.
Next time, if she doesn't listen to you, tase her!

Another issue is starting to be uncovered. DIL was sexually abused when she was a child. One of the symptoms of child abuse is incorrigible behavior tendencies. She is also very delusional in her perception of the events. According to her Facebook page, I am an ego maniac that has told her that she doesn't have the ability to make any parenting decisions, plus I have chosen to never see my grandchildren. What an unbelievable spin! Of course this is nothing close to the truth, but I'm beginning to wonder if she hasn't reached confabulation stage in her delusion! She really believes she is telling the truth from her perspective. I'm starting to feel sorry for her!
I would rather think the above than believe she is purposefully being deceitful by spreading lies to try to ruin my reputation.

Mr. Steinway, the mere fact that she plastered pictures of her naked children on the net is very much telling about her "ability to make any parenting decisions". Most people who have seen it make their own conclusions.
Also the mere fact that she attacks you on her Facebook is also very telling. Most people would choose to take the picts down and not say another word about it.
Let me reaffirm that you are absolutely correct in saying something to her about it. The authorities do not wink at ignorance in these types of matters anymore....and what she did is very ignorant.
Doth she protesteth too much??
