There are three of us sisters-in-law and this is a great way for her to keep up. However, she shares every photo we post. The aunt is widowed and has been speaking to men over Facebook and one of these men shared a photo of my daughter to his Facebook friends! I imme- diately asked this person (whom I've never met) to take the photo down. After a day I was still so shaken that I deleted my account. My mother-in- law was heartbroken. Facebook photo- sharing is tricky with relatives. There is no spe- cific setting to not allow people to share photos (you can only restrict an audience). I don't want to restrict family mem- bers from photos. I just don't want them shared. Until Facebook develops this feature, how do I respectfully explain to my mother-in-law I don't want her sharing so many pictures, because others seem to think that by her sharing, they are welcome to do that as well? Outside of a conversa- tion with my mother-in- law, is it appropriate to make a disclaimer in the description of the photo to ask for my permission before sharing? —MediaMom DEAR MOM » Until Face- book gives people a way to lock down their own photos, you can try to at least control who sees them by customizing your settings, restricting who sees your photos to only "friends" or a family group. This means that even if your mother-in- law (or aunt) shares a photo, it won't actually be seen by anyone outside your circle. You should also use the FB tools for tagging, so you will be notified whenever your child is tagged. However, it is impor- tant to remember that anyone can take a screen- shot of a photo and share. Expl ain to your mother-in-law why social media sharing is not like running into a friend and showing them a cute picture. It is basic FB etiquette to always ask permission to share some- one else's material. If you decide to hop back on Facebook, when- ever you post a photo you don't want shared, definitely post a request along with the photo: "Please don't share this without permission." DEAR AMY » "Jaded" won- dered why his executive recruiter was so offended when he tried to negoti- ate his salary. I've worked in execu- tive search, staffing and HR for many years. I would recommend he reach out to the man- ager after the discussion with the recruiter. Why? Sometimes recruiters and managers aren't always in sync with regard to salary expectations. Contact- ing the manager directly wouldn't be a bad thing. — Experienced DEAR EXPERIENCED » Thank you. I agreed with "Jaded" that he should not be rebuffed for ne- gotiating.
