I was walking through Walmart and this guy stops me and asks me if I am part of the Camden moms group here where I live. I said yes and asked him how he knew. He said he saw my picture on the group!!! EWWWWWWWWWW
My childrens ppictures are on there as well as some conversation us moms have oline about metting each other and other personal things.
I am so sick about it.
I did not realize that the group was open to everyone to look. I thought I made it private. I changed it as soon as I got home, but still.
First of all, why is a man looking on a MOMS group??
I am just so ill about it.

Mel, that is so creepy. Why would he be looking at it??? Why, and most importantly, HOW did he even remember you????

That is creepy. Hopefully, there wasn't any presonal info on there that he could have gotten ahold of.

Well, ummmm, maybe he's a stay home dad?? (ok, I don't buy it either, but it's at least some small consolation. . . ) It's sort of creepy when you think about the "odd" people who lurk around these boards sometimes---I mean beyond your everyday kind of "odd", that is. That's the reason I don't have pictures of my kids or me on my tag line, actually. Even on here, we discuss some pretty intimate details of our lives, our schedules, our kids whereabouts, etc. I hate having to be so paranoid. It makes me feel like there's a monster just waiting outside the door for us. I mean, you want to give people the benefit of the doubt, and not immediately think the worst, but then you read CNN's headlines for the day and there goes that.

I'm sorry it was so upsetting for you. Hopefully, he really has some legitimate reason to be looking at the group photos, or at worst is just a poor lonely guy who wishes he had a wife and kids, and didn't think about how intrusive and creepy coming up to you might seem. I'm sure you already did this, but you may want to make sure all the other group members know about this guy (description, etc.) just in case. Hugs, and try not to let it bug you too much--

Just my number, but thats ok, doesnt bother me about that. I am glad no last names or addresses.
Still, Andrew was so nice that he told him his name and I let him know that this was not allowed again! He is a strager.

Well, I dont think he was a dad of one of the moms in the group. I asked him how he knew and he never mentioned it to me and I asked the moms in the group and none mentioned it was their husband. Actually, he seemed gay to me. Not that I have anyhitng agaiant them, that is just the way he came across to me.
Either way. If you come up to someone and its because you are a dh of one of the moms, you should say so!
I have no idea who this person is and hes telling me he knows my kids and me off pictures I have on a group!
WEIRD!
