    Based on that reasoning, I should not show anyone any photo of my child until they were old enough to consent to them being taken.

    This is actually solid advice, especially as far as social media is concerned.

      We’re not talking about social media, we’re talking about the significant other of my child. Or even relatives. I didn’t get my daughter’s permission to take her photo when she was a baby, so I shouldn’t have sent a photo to my father on the other side of the country based on this reasoning.

        You’re (wisely) backpeddling now but you said:

        used to torture children in front of their serious romantic partners brought home for the first time.

        Things were different when we were kids. It’s a fucked up thing to psychologically abuse your (presumably) teenage kids like that and objectively people know that. (Your daughters) consent in the subject is the only thing that matters. The only reason anyone is giving you a pass is because you’re FlyingSquid, but maybe leave those pictures in the closet until closer to the wedding.

          Oh please. It’s not psychological abuse. It’s “torture” the same way telling the story about the time they told a lady in the checkout line, “I came out of my mommy’s bagina!” when they were three to an adult child’s partner is torture.

          You show me an example of anyone suffering PTSD because their parents showed their partner baby pictures.

            i literally provided myself as an example in this, i quite literally said that i would consider it a violation of privacy, and no that’s not PTSD, but PTSD is the extreme end of things here. We aren’t just talking about PTSD.

              You claiming that it would give you PTSD is not evidence that anyone has suffered or is suffering from PTSD because of it. That’s just you making an assumption about a situation you’ve apparently never actually faced.

                  That is what you said.

                  What you would consider it is irrelevant to what people who have experienced it have considered it.

            Ah yes, because everything is ethical as long as the other party doesn’t develop a mental illness because of it

                I’m sorry, you can’t have experienced trauma unless you’ve had someone clinically analyze and diagnose you?

                What kind of absurd bar is this?

                  Can’t? No. Has? Let’s see some evidence.

                  You can claim that seeing people in red hats causes trauma. Without evidence, it’s just a claim.
