Am I in the wrong for not wanting my exes new girlfriend posting photos of my kids on social media?

Unforunatley this is what happens when a family splits. This might make you uncomforable but you are not in charge of what dad allows. You CAN express your feelings/concerns to dad. Im assuming your not friends on social media since you dont know her. Why are you digging? For hurt feelings?

Just breathe & trust dad can make good decisions.

Take it to court and have it in your custody agreement or get supervised visits so she canā€™t be around . Sheā€™s clearly there for attention, no one should be posting your kids unless family and never without permission.

Absolutely not. She has NO say or right to post anything about your children or the need to be around the children until you meet her and know itā€™s safe and okay. She has NO rights to your children. However if dad still has his parental rights and sheā€™s with him then unfortunately unless you go to court and give them reason to believe she shouldnā€™t be around kids thereā€™s not too much you can do. If there is worry then donā€™t send them and pursue as you need to. I think he should wait and get to know her himself before bringing the kids into the mix and there shouldnā€™t be an issue with her meeting you especially if the kids are there. Itā€™s just the respectful and adult thing to do.

Unless your parenting plan says otherwise you have no say in who is around your kids. Sorry sweetie.

Why does her posting photos bother you?

:woman_facepalming: if they are in a serious relationship she is going to be in your kids life. Unfortunately you might now like it but itā€™s better to have a good relationship with her for your childā€™s sake. Although you might not see it that way, your kid will pick up on certain things and itā€™s better not to have hostility :heart::heart: have a chat with her youā€™ll feel better

Honestly, I wouldnā€™t like some random chick posting pictures of my kids after 3 weeks either. Who knows who she has on her fb. You donā€™t even know her, let alone the kinds of people she associates with or how she feels about accepting strange fb friend requests. I wouldnā€™t be okay with that at all. And the way she responded was not okay either. She needs to be more respectful, sheā€™s been around for a whopping 3 weeks and is already starting shit. I wouldnā€™t really want her around my kids either. In my opinion if she is willing to be disrespectful over internet safety, what else is she going to do just to be spiteful and disrespectful? Sorry but yes you should have approached things differently (thru your ex) but the way she handled it/responded is 100% NOT okay either.

Just dont get why he has even introduced his kids to sombody he has only been with for 3 weeksā€¦

My granddaughters gather is living with a girl and has a child with him also. Said girl is constantly posting terrible negative things about me and my daughter. She had even posted videoscoaching my granddaughter into saying things. This girl went so far as to call cps and said I was abusing my granddaughter. My granddaughter fell at preschool and broke her arm and this was documented and the stupid girl said I did it. CPS dropped all allegations once they came to where my granddaughter lives and saw she is well taken care of. My daughter started my granddaughter in therapy because of the way she would throw fits about going to her dadā€™s for his court ordered visitation and even the therapist said something is not right at her fatherā€™s house. If all the girlfriend is posting is positive stuff I wouldnā€™t worry about it because I wish my granddaughters fathers girlfriend would only post positive things

If she treats you this rude I doubt she would treat the kids any better :woman_shrugging: she sounds wayy too immature and irresponsible

Unfortunately unless a custody agreement says so u wonā€™t have a say who dad allows around them, if u go get custody arrangements most times they will say no one above 18 can be with them after 10pm and that will go for you as well unless married etc etc. 3 weeks seems early but not much u can do about it if he has visitation rights.

Besides being okay with someone in this kids life or notā€¦ Posting pictures and personal details is just asking for predators of some sortā€¦regardless of who posts it. I never post pics of my kid(s) and details. "First day of grade ā€œwhateverā€ at ā€œwhatever schoolā€ and a pictureā€¦now weirdos know what your kids looks like and where they are every dayā€¦more to the point, my ex mother in laws account was hacked and now a total stranger has all her pictures, family, children, everything. And because she was friends with my kid on kids messenger when she was hacked, this creep was now my kids friend for a couple weeks before we realized.
Not wanting pictures of your kids all over the internet is very reasonable in my opinion.

What does the custody agreement say? I think she is way out of line and should have no business being around the kids if she has no respect for your wishes. But if there is a custody agreement , where dad is allowed to have them, then it is kind of out of your hands. If there is no custody agreement, keep the kids and go file for one. Make it known to the judge that he has strange women around whom are taking pictures of your kids and you do not feel it is safe for them to be with him without you. Bring the text messages to the judgeā€™s attention too.

It may be uncomfortable for you and it seems abit too soon but at this stage and time she is apart of your kids life. Must be hard however she maybe a constant in his life so something you might have to suck up.

Just asking, how did you notice, how did you see? For you to inbox her shows her that you stalking her.

Unfortunately, This is what men do and we brake our own hearts by stalking and searching :heart:

Its just photos you have full custody of your kids, dont allow little things from your ex to make you unhappy.
This is mostly done to get attention, and it surely got yours.

You need to talk to your ex unfortunately heā€™s gonna think youā€™re the drama one since he probably told her itā€™s ok to put pictures of the kids, because theyā€™re his kids too. She sounds like a big drama queen so good luck.

No, fuck her. You donā€™t know who sheā€™s friends with on social media, she could be one of those people with 1K friends and hasnā€™t met 600 of them ever. Itā€™s a safety issue, not a petty issue.

For one NO and two HELL no
If she is being this disrespectful
Shes being given permission by him (even if not words yea u can disrespect her) its by how heā€™s disrespectful to you. You dont go and act like you can do want like ur new mom of kids you claim to care about
cuz ur trying to impress ur new boyfriend. " Look at me Iā€™m so great with ur kids"
But f their mom

A decent person would have handled it differently
And the way she did shows how f up she is
I wouldnā€™t want that around my kids trying to be new mommy
And Iā€™ll be damned if shes going to disrespect me

Talk to your ex about this. Does he post pictures of them?

This would be a fight period ā€¦

I mean to each their own but if itā€™s on their dads time, you canā€™t really dictate it. You should approach your ex about it rather than talking to her about it. That might be why she responded the way that she did (not saying itā€™s right or okay but anyone who has their boyfriends ā€œbaby mamaā€ come at them like that I am sure would be defensive). He probably gave her permission since they are his children too.

His time, his rules. As long as she isnā€™t a danger and dad gives her permission there is nothing much you can do. I know itā€™s frustrating but at this point she is there and the only thing you can do is act civil. Who cares about her as long as child is safe then pick your battles. A judge would think itā€™s childish to fight over the fact that kids father gave permission for her to post pictures. He is the father and has as much rights as you. Remember if yā€™all start out salty and bitter it will not end well and that could be more upsetting for the child.

I post pictures of my boyfriends kids, but not until we had been together for over a year and he was ok with it. We do alot of family things together like ball games, swimming, bowling, etc, so it would be hard to not include his kids in pictures with mine. In the event that his ex asked me not to post pictures, I would first check with him before any changes

Some of these comments disgust me.

No youā€™re not in the wrong. She definitely had an attitude problem. Posting photos on social media may be something you can being up in court. However, if u and your ex post photos then they likely wonā€™t do anything about it. Anyone on either of your friend lists, can screen shot it and post it on their own page.
If she isnā€™t a safety concern for your children, you wonā€™t be able to keep her out of your kids lives tho. Again, itā€™s possible but they would have the same rule applied to you as well. Remember anything you request can be turned around, so be careful what you ask for.

No offence, but you went about that the worst way possible, and have now caused issues, if the father says itā€™s ok, then she has every right to post pics of the kids, threats of keeping the kids away from her, because you havenā€™t gotten your own way is childish and you shouldnā€™t have said that, if kids see the dad, and sheā€™s there, that is out of your control. Ideally she should have respected your decision, but if you step back and look at it, its actually a positive thing, sheā€™s proud to be around your kids and wants to share it with everyone, much better then a gf who hates your kids and pretend they donā€™t exist. Just my personal opinion.

A couple things you need to realize hereā€¦
The first and biggest is that No matter what happened between you and your exā€¦ if things ended badly you are the villain in his story.
Meaning that whenever he describes what happened, he tells it in a way that puts the blame on you. If sheā€™s with him then she more than likely believes it. You messaging her like you did just ā€œprovesā€ his description of you. Youā€™re gonna get absolutely no where with her messaging herā€¦and are honestly just creating more drama for yourself.

  1. You can not want her around your kids all you wantā€¦and that doesnā€™t necessarily make you ā€œwrongā€ or ā€œbadā€ but unless thereā€™s a stipulation in a court orderā€¦you donā€™t really have the ability to control who interacts with your children in your exā€™s care.

Moving forwardā€¦
Talk. To. Him
Do not message her anymore for any reason. Period.
If she posts something on Facebookā€¦report the picture to Facebook.
Then message him.

Keep. Your. Emotions. In. Check
When you talk to him? Do not talk from an emotional headspace. Talk from a logical and reasonable headspace.

Itā€™s the digital age. Your kids pictures are getting on fb whether you see it or not. They are either the subject or in the background! I think you should have maybe brought this up to the kids dad instead of going to the gf, of course sheā€™s going to be salty towards you. But she should also have some respect for your wishes and not over post pictures either. Maybe if they do something special share the moment but not be overzealous.

Not just Facebook but all the other social media too :flushed:

I would be pissed, I donā€™t post pictures of my daughter for safety, so no one else should be doing it either, now if I were the girlfriend and the mother is clearly uncomfortable I would not have started a fight, I would simply say ā€œyour kids, your rulesā€, simply to avoid problems, but she is clearly insenstive, she probably has no kids, because if she was a mother she would be more considerate of you, also I would not have said anything directly to her, I wouldā€™ve talked to father and made him fix the issue, I have quite a temper when it comes to my daughter, but he knows that I love her and does whatā€™s best for her, so If I tell him something that bothers me, we usually argue about it, but he comes to his senses and fixes the issue, or we come to an agreement, also I donā€™t know how you found out that she posted them, I blocked them both for mental health on social media, my clear state of mind comes first before stalking him or his partner

How old are your kids? If they are young then it is more confusing to them since they only want their parents to be together & donā€™t really understand why they are apartā€¦ 3 weeks is not enough time to know eachother to introduce the girlfriend to the kidsā€¦ even if they are thinking they are serious right now. Kids have enough they have to worry about with school & donā€™t even get their full frontal lobe until they are 25ā€¦this is my opinion. Others may disagree but I think that the kids have enough on their plate right now with the parents being separated even if they donā€™t show it coming from a person like me who went through this as a child with my parents divorcing & my Mother moving on & marrying someone else which caused me to go into a depression at that young ageā€¦ if you ask children in foster care what they want they will say a "family " all children want is their parents to love & respect eachother & most importantly to feel loved. I think he should waited before bringing her around the children out of respect for them & for himself & to also set a good exampleā€¦ too soon
