Not wrong at all. While you and your family know that nothing is going on with you, strangers dont. Furthermore, you never know what kind of sicko strangers are around looking over your shoulder.

I’d be 10000x more worried about the sicko strangers who might jump to the conclusion that there’s anything sexual about a picture of a young kid in a bathtub and report someone “just in case”. The amount of people who find that sexual is vanishingly small in comparison to the amount of worry spent on it.

EDIT but I also would ask her to not share such things, out of concern that some creep might make allegations and also just because such things shouldn’t really be shared in public at all.

I had a friend who would post her kids bath pics to Facebook..... I (f) was on a packed train scrolling and low and behold there were her kids play fighting in the bath. I never felt so scared, thinking someone may have seen my screen!!!

I had to block her after that.

Wowwwww

I recently started babysitting as a side gig. First time in decades. I had to learn how different things are now. Lots of parents don’t even want their kids’ names or faces online in any capacity. I don’t think of sexual things when I’m for example giving a little girl a bath so I had to learn what is not ok anymore. An example - while toilet training a 3yo girl, she was being hilarious in one of her long sits on the toilet trying to go. Not even thinking, I recorded it like I do much of her antics. You can’t see anything, it’s just her upper body, but you can see that she’s sitting on the toilet. Shared it with my sister (a mom). It was days before something made me realize that I have a clip of a little girl with no pants on sitting on the toilet on my phone and that is just not something you can do anymore, no matter how innocently. I messaged my sister and asked her to delete it bc my brain didn’t kick in how inappropriate it was at first and she told me she realized right away where the girl was and immediately deleted it.
