Here's a juicy one:
As I approach the birth of my first child within a few weeks, my husband and I have been discussing the issue of privacy and Facebook. Neither of us uses Facebook, but many of our friends and family members do. The topic has come up recently because my mother is a repeat offender when it comes to posting information or pictures about us that we have asked her not to share. For example, she outed my pregnancy twice on Facebook before we were ready to announce it to our friends and extended family - after she was asked specifically and repeatedly not to post anything online. Recently, I discovered (through my sister who has an account in order to police her daughter, and apparently also our mother) some very personal pregnancy pictures of me that she posted, and I am not even sure how she got them (in a bathing suit, bare belly pics that were taken to track my belly growth, etc). As much as I love my baby belly, I don't like the idea of pictures I feel are private and personal floating around the internet that weren't meant for everyone's eyes. So now we are thinking about how we feel and what to do about not having control over what is posted about us and our children.
