Or maybe you shared a snapshot of your little one, frolicking outside, lifting her dress — in that unselfconscious way every toddler does. Neumann, a professional photographer, posted these and more on Instagram. Many of the ensuing comments were profanity-laced. The nude photos are gross and disturbing. He accompanies each photo with his original Instagram caption — usually with the hashtag dadlife — and a comment from a complete stranger. It is an extreme iteration of the more judgmental and moralistic strains we encounter in modern parenting. And yet, the photos raise an interesting question about how much we share about our kids on social media.
