What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

Do We Share Too Much About Our Kids Online?


Listen Later

We all know what extreme "oversharenting" is when we see it. It's the gray areas that get harder. When we post about our kid's adventures in potty training, are we supposed to think twice?

What will happen when our kids are old enough to want to curate their own internet presence?

How concerned should we be about the privacy we may have given away without thinking?

Amy and Margaret discuss:

  • the digital footprint and the "right to be forgotten"
  • what to check in your privacy settings
  • when to start asking kids for permission before you post
  • the benefits we gain from sharing about our families online

  • Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode:
