I've been guilty of it myself, snapping a picture of my little honey fast asleep in the car seat, or passed out on the floor in his bedroom, too tired to get into bed.
In giving these "sleeping pics" a little bit of thought and seeing way too many of them on fb, I've stopped sharing. I've stopped looking, liking, commenting on sleeping pics. I think it's wrong, an invasion of personal space and trust.
People asleep are at their most vulnerable. They can't say, "leave me alone"..they can't give consent or agree...they are helpless and need to trust those around to protect and respect them.
Yes, sleeping kids are angelic, cute and adorable...but be careful who you share with. Think about how your child would feel.
I've stopped taking sleeping pics. I certainly am against anyone photographing me. It's bad enough I don't have an enclosed place to sleep without everyone hearing my snoring.
Sleeping is a private affair. No spectators please.
