posting photos of children on FB

It's not about justifying or defending. I'm trying to keep it all civilised so that he continues to stay in his child's life. It's not a big deal for me to explain things to him in a polite way. It's also his child afterall.

My ex replied with another round of insults and also saying he actually doesn't give a F... so I guess that's where the 'communication' on this one ends.

Well at least you can say you've tried. Make sure you keep all of the communications between you about this in case he turns around at a later date and starts denying you ever contacted him about it.

PS. As for child consent, we don't ask our kids consent or opinion on a lot of stuff, from religion, to the school they attend, or food they eat. They are children, we make decisions for them and for ourselves. The photos can be deleted at any time and as long as they aren't public, I don't see what the harm is. That's my own subjective view obviously.

I don't see the harm either, so you aren't alone in your views.

Actually, some of us do.

I would never put a plate of food in front of my child without consulting them first, I certainly would never influence my child when it comes to religion and I would consult them when it came to choosing schools.

But then I wouldn't put a photo of my child or anyone else on FB.

Really? I gave mine a dish with meat in when they weren't old enough to talk. Likewise I didn't consult them when they were 2.5/3.5 when I filled in their nursery/reception school application.

I think its more to do with not leaving too much of a "footprint" when they are older. The choices we make for our kids sometimes have to be done - like school and dinners maybe, but facebook is permanent, so they don't have the choice to alter it.
