Ep 48: Should we post our kids on social media? (A conversation with Nish Weiseth)
/This episode is for you if you’ve ever second-guessed posting photos of your kids online.
Nish Weiseth - a friend I met through mommy blogging years ago - recently posted on Instagram that she was going to take a step back from posting her family online, because her kids are getting older and she started questioning her own motivations. I thought her take was really interesting, so I reached out and asked her to have a friend-to-friend conversation on this topic…publicly.
So this episode meanders a bit, with the first half dedicated to posting photos of our kids and why our thoughts have changed on it over the years, and the second half turning towards why we post online at all.
We get really honest and vulnerable, but we don’t come to any conclusions. There are no right or wrong answers here anyway.
I hope our conversation inspires you to ask your friends and coparents about their feelings on posting family pics online, and their genuine motivation for posting on social media at all.
