Tagging Pictures on Facebook

Yes, it's normal. In addition to what the other two have said, it can also be a sign of respect, parent to parent. It lets each of them in on what's going on with their daughter, especially if others will see them. If anybody--my husband or someone else--posts pics of my child, I want to be tagged because I want to be aware of what images have been put online.

Lots of people tag so that someone in particular will see the photo. I get tagged by my niece sometimes, when she wants to be sure I don't miss seeing a photo of my nephew. It's actually kind of a courtesy thing, I think.

Sounds like your husband's ex is tagging him, so that he can see (and comment if he likes) any photo that his daughter is in. In a way, this is good. It keeps him in the loop about what his daughter is doing, AND he is able to see every time the daughter has her photo put "out there". If he disapproves of any of the photos, he can ask the ex to take them down. So, it's kind of like her saying, "hey, I put this pic of our daughter out there, if you don't like it, let me know and I'll take it down". At least, that is how I read it.

I tag my husband when I post something about our kids 1/ because he doesn't post pics...and 2/ he is friends with some people that I know would love to see pics of the kids, but I am not friends with.

I think it's very normal for her to do that and I want tagged in ANY picture with my kiddo's. If for no other reason than for me to make a copy of the picture.

Don't stress it :).

Totally normal. My siblings all tag me in pictures of their kids, because they know that I don't spend a lot of time on facebook, I don't text, and so otherwise I would never see or notice the pictures.

My daughter tags me in anything she wants me to see because anything you are tagged in comes up on your wall. Heck she tagged me as a guitar she wanted me to buy. She has tagged me as food I like.

Not that any of my kids are normal but they do it all the time.

First, yes, it's totally normal!! Plus, I didn't read all the responses but just wanted to add one additional note; if after viewing the tagged photos, why not have your husband "remove" the tag.

My nieces tag me all the time so they make sure I see the photos of my great-nieces/nephews. Then after a few weeks or whatever time, I just remove the tag. It's up to me if I wanted to print the picture, save it in my own file or do whatever. That way, if I remove the tag, my wall doesn't get all bogged down with a lot of photos, etc.

Good luck!!

I'm on FB every second of the day it seems and I don't tag AT ALL. However, I had a friend from high school who tagged me in his wedding pic (it was just him and his bride). I said, Chris, why did you tag me? He said, Because I wanted you to see our wedding pic. So there you have it.

That being said, your husband can remove them or put them in is own album of his kid(s). Frankly, I would like to see pics of my kids at their dads house, but he rarely does anything with them to take pics! Our kids aren't on FB yet, but I have a feeling when they are, I will be seeing more about my ex than I really want to. =/ Good luck!

Tagging is very common, and preferences vary from person to person. If you look in the 'album' folders, you will notice that under all the albums, there will be a separated area that says "Photos of _____". Tagged pictures show up here, so that other people can see them too.

I tag people who are in the picture itself, or the parents of the children in the picture. That's it.

My sister will tag anyone who has any association with a picture, (like if they were at the event, but not in the picture, or if they are family) and if she just thinks a particular person will appreciate the picture and she wants to be sure they see it.

Since it's his daughter, I would say that she is tagging him in them, so that he can see what his daughter is up to.

IF it is annoying, you can untag yourself (I just can't remember how...)

Tagging allows the friends of the person tagged to see the photo too. She is probably tagging him so he see the photos and also your family that is friends can also seethe photos. I don't tag much at all, but it ia normal for many people.

I'm not completely sure, because I don't tag and am not very savvy with such things, but I don't think you can use children's names to tag. You have to use the adult's name, (or whoever has a FB account).

For example, friends tag me, but when I click on the picture, it's just their kids and my son. All kids in the picture. Of course, none of those children has a FB account, so it's me she tags. It sounds like I'd be in the picture, but it's just the kids.

If they are friends on FB, she'd have to tag him so he'd know that there's a new picture of his daughter. She can't put the child's name on the tag.

Now, she could just create an album and direct him there, but a lot of people on FB seem to be into tagging and think that's easier.

I hope you don't get too annoyed at this and don't make it into an issue. Anyone who really knows you realizes that your husband is with you and that you're probably not going on vacation with the ex. (Sorry if that's not even entered into the thought process but just wanted to add it in case).

That's the best explanation I know. Hope it helps.

I tag pictures of our dd for my husband and he does it for me, just so it will show up on both our feeds so both of our friends can see them. (we don't have all the same friends on facebook). His brother will also tag both of us in pictures he posts of our dd. It's just so everyone's friends/family can see pictures of the kiddos.

I often see this if either the child is too young for a FB account or if they don't have one (for whatever reason). Although I admit that it's a little odd that she labels her daughter with HIS name! :D

I might tag pictures of someone's kids with the parent's name so they can see the picture. But I think it's weird to tag someone when neither they or their kids are in the picture!

I have it set up so that I have to approve everything that goes on my wall. So if it bothers your husband he can do that and just approve the ones that show his daughter if he wants his own friends to see. I don't remember how I set that up (probably under privacy or account settings), but if I could figure it out when I'm not computer savvy, I'm sure your husband can. =)
