Social media has significantly transformed the way parents and children communicate online, and at times, it can result in conflicts.

No one enjoys seeing a poor quality image of themselves online, but it appearsthis particular mommay share images of her son more than he is comfortable with.

They had a major disagreement and now they’re not talking to each other. Let’s find out the complete details…

Am I the asshole for not wanting to be posted online and then being told that I’m no longer her son?

My mother (51 years old) and I (17 years old) recently went to retrieve my car that she gave me for my birthday.

As they handed over the keys, they inquired if I wanted a picture. I refused because I dislike being photographed and I was wearing my comfortable clothes.

My mother asked me to stand next to the car so she could take a picture for nostalgia, and I complied because I didn’t want to fight with her at the dealership.

Seems pretty normal…

A few hours later, I decided to pick up some dinner on the way home and left my mother sitting in the car.

When I came back, she was in the process of writing a caption on Facebook, and I could tell it was the picture she had taken of me next to my car.

A few years back, she made her social media profiles public and started following an influencer path.

This began to bother me because everything she has posted since she first joined Facebook, including baby pictures and photos of me from my childhood, is now available online for anyone to see.

Throughout the drive home, I explained to her that I don’t enjoy being featured online, something she’s aware of. She even added a caption to that photo saying, “Even though he doesn’t like his photo taken,” as if she was trying to playfully tease me.

That could become quite bothersome.

She mentioned how my friends posted about me for my birthday, and I explained that my friends have pictures of me that I don’t mind being shared, and I would gladly ask them to remove them if I wanted.

She claimed she was my mother and believed she had the right to post about me, so I responded by saying I don’t care if she’s my friend or partner, I still dislike being shared online.

I attempted to discuss the situation with her, pointing out instances where people in the past discovered her account and used my photos to mock me.

She simply responded with, “Then remove and unadd me on social media.” As if that would change anything.

When we arrived at our home, she simply informed me that she was no longer a mother and had no son.

This escalated quickly.

It has been two days since she informed me of that, and I have remained confined to my room the whole time.

The only times I’ve left were when she was at work or had gone to bed, so I could avoid being in the same room as her.

Tonight, it was my turn to prepare dinner, so I went out to do that and gave her a plate, but that was all. No conversation took place.

I’m just trying to figure out if I did something wrong or if I should have simply let her post about me.

I kind of feel responsible because I do let my friends post pictures of me. Still, most of my friends who have posted me before have private accounts with around 200 followers, while my mom has over 3,000 followers.

She has also shared images of me in vulnerable situations, such as me sleeping in the privacy of my room, which I wasn’t even aware of until I went to my mom’s workplace to go home with her and a colleague of hers mentioned it and started laughing.

I simply don’t want a similar situation to happen again. Fortunately, she hasn’t shared the photo yet.
