Family a bunch of facebook junkies....my new baby's photos on facebook ERR!?

[jasper]

I'm not a facebook junkie. I believe I have about 50 photos up on facebook. That is any where from my random friends,my engagement, our wedding, pregnancy. (over appox 4 years I have had a facebook) I got online today & noticed my sister in law posted 140 photos of my baby shower. Now come on a baby shower isn't that eventful that ya need that many photos. Some were of me reaching over a table with my huge baby belly getting chips, not smiling nothing. Really I feel like a hippo already photos like that don't help! Also she posted photos of my 93 year old grandma that were total candid shots. Also of my co-workers she doesn't know.
I sent her message saying what ones she could leave up (7 total) the rest I wanted taken down.

This brings me to my next point.....How do I tell both my sister in laws & my mother in law I DO NOT WANT PHOTOS OF MY BABY on facebook!!
I already have the message saved on my phone that I will send from the hospital (giving baby details) saying *this info & photo are NOT to be forwarded or shared via any social media site!
I feel that my child does not need to be on facebook for their 900+ friends to see. I have like 200 friends all family, close friends & a few coworkers. (90 family) & my settings set very high so people can't see photos.

What is the best way to handle this? (babys birth & the rest of his/her life)

That's a good one. You can tell them no, but don't bank on that happening. People want to share everything and anything on FB, and its ruining FB.

All you can do is politely ask them, but you really have no control over it. Most people really aren't going to care about the million random photos their friends and acquaintances post of your baby anyway, so it's not like anyone will be stalking your pictures.
