17-year-old stands firm against influencer mom, refuses to let her post pictures of him on social media, putting strain on their relationship

Growing up in this social media-centric age is not easy! Everyone around you is always carrying around a high-quality camera with instant access to the internet, ready to capture and immortalize any awkward or embarassing moment and share it with the world. It's even worse when the person pointing that camera is your influencer mother. For one teen, what should have been a happy milestones – getting a car for his birthday – turned into a painful standoff between him and his mother over one simple request: don't post me online!

According to this 17-year-old , his mom has been posting every photo she can find for her thousands of followers to see, from his baby pictures to candid shots of him sleeping. Despite him repeatedly telling her that it makes him uncomfortable, she has always brushed it off, insisting that as his mother she has the right to share whatever she wants. Things finally came to a head when she took a photo of him with his new car and tried to post it, joking in the caption that he "doesn't like having his picture taken." When he confronted her and explained how much it bothered him, she lost her cool and essentially disowned him on the spot.

AITA for not wanting to get posted online then getting told that I'm no longer her son?

As cute as it is to see viral videos on Instagram of kids trick-or-treating, helping their parents cut up veggies on tiny cutting boards, or playing with cats, it is pretty weird to realize that hundreds of thousands of other people have seen them too.
