Ask Ann Cannon: How can I get my mother-in-law to stop posting so many photos of my kids on Facebook?

Dear Ann Cannon • My mother-in-law is very active on Facebook, which is fine. The only problem is that she posts lots — and I mean LOTS — of pictures of her grandchildren, aka “my kids.” I know she does this because she’s interested in and proud of them. She also gets plenty of strokes, frankly, from her Facebook friends who compliment her for being such an awesome grandma. They praise her for taking the grandkids to the zoo, doing crafts together, going on hikes, etc.

Now here’s the problem. I’ve chosen to have a very limited presence on social media.
