I am 5 months pregnant and just found your blog and really enjoy your writing. I came across the pic of your little one in that cute tee that says “mutha sucka” on it and decided I needed it for my own babe when the time comes. So I googles “mutha sucka baby” and this is one of the things that came up

So if you are “babyclotheshound” suppose it’s no biggy. And it really isn’t a terrible re-use of your pic but I just thought you ought to see it as it seems to apply to this post.

And hey where did you get that tee?

I don’t understand why some people are so angry and paranoid?? Don’t everybody see our children outside already??

I am just amazed at the “ownership” statement…”She is mine…blah blah blah”

THINK!…you are invading the privacy of your CHILD is NO place “safe”? How will your child feel about this? How pathetic…it is NOT a kind and universally “good” world out there on the Internet…and there is not universal good will…

PROTECT your children!
A home, the bath, is the most private…sacred…place of privacy…need you share those moments with the world? A naked child in a bath…may very well be “art” to you, a supposedly loving mother…but your daughter should be able to have her life PRIVATE!!! smarten up! She enters the world on the Internet?
My God what a fricking betrayal of those who were supposed to protect you.

I know I’m late to the party.

I used to post pictures of my son until one day I followed some referring links and saw his pic on a porn site. He was fully clothed, playing a guituar–nothing slightly pornish–but the sick f**ks of the world saw him diffrently.

About Dooce, she’s exposed her daughter FAR too much that it’s beyond pictures. The pictures are easy compared to all the times she talked about how much she didn’t want to be a mom and just how difficult a child Leta was and is. But then again, I’m not a dooce fan at ALL.

I’m also a first-time visitor, found you through my friend Tere (yes, the one that commented right before me). Thank you for this great post. It inspired me to actually post about a mishap I ahd with an image taken from my blog, and it reminded me why I won’t stop posting pictures of my two gorgeous boys.

Hi, this is my first visit to your site (found this link from Mom – NOS, whom I also found today through Dante’s Inferno w/Children), and I just wanted to say that you have perfectly described the reason why I post pictures of my son.

The worrywart/doom sayer in me is constantly freaking out whenever I post a picture of my boy. I don’t even want to express my fears for fear of making them come true. But many times, there are no words to capture his essence, his beauty, his charm, or his quirkiness. And just like I am constantly “punctured” by images (including how other parents see their kids), I too want to “puncture”.

That’s it in a nutshell – thanks for verbalizing it.

I’ve posted about this many times, and have also kept posting photos of my daughter. The Internet is a community, and just as I would not put a bag over her head in music class, I don’t overtly hide her image in my online life. I try to preserve our privacy as best I can, but she is beautiful, her joy is beautiful, and I think those who visit my site enjoy seeing the joy in her photos. I’m not ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater, so to say.

I thought I had left comment on this the other day??

As we are asking age old HBM questions here is mine.. If she is Wonder Baby, does that make you Wonder Woman?

ps..maybe I thought better of posting in the end so as to not get to riled up about my latest rebuttal for Dutch and the those peoples.

I won’t post my children’s photos – as much as I want to connect and have everyone understand the depth of my love and joy. But I don’t criticize your decision to do so – I love seeing Wonderbaby and I delight in your joys. If I ever do see you in person, I’ll be sure to break out my pictures.

I for one am grateful you post all these sweet, joyful, breathtaking photos of Wonderbaby – she’s always good for a lift of the heart if/when I need one. Thank you for sharing your love of her, her love of life, with all of us.
