    I have a 4 year old and I post a lot of pictures of my kid, but like privately. I use an app called tinybeans. You have to be explicitly invited. Grandma gets emails because she can’t use apps. everyone is happy. My kid’s pictures are hidden away from facebook and family members have to take much more active action to share her photos beyond themselves. And they know that means excommunication from the picture firehose, so they don’t. That’s how I’ve managed this. I mean… there’s still a bunch of embarrassing stuff in there, but at least the only people who can see it are the people who were traditionally privy to embarrassing kid shit anyway.

      Pretty much how we do it. Private album for family. Google is of course tracking her face with every upload but atleast it’s not just out there.

        I ended up at tiny beans because I had to accommodate the tech illiterate and iPhone users. It’s just easier if the app emails my grandma pictures. She gets emails and no one has to even make her an account for her to get stuff.
