Re: Spinoff to GAP photo shoot. Would you be annoyed?
I would be really upset. Especially since you told her last year that you wanted to be consulted first.

Re: Spinoff to GAP photo shoot. Would you be annoyed?
Yes. I would be annoyed because you specifically asked her not to without asking. However, I could see the grandmother in her thinking she was doing it to surprise you.
Dh should tell her is if she wants to continue to receive photos from you (including the professional ones), she needs to ask beforehand or she's cut off.

I wouldn't be annoyed at all!! I don't see the big deal. Sorry.
She was previously told not to do it without consulting them. I think that is the biggest issue.

Re: Spinoff to GAP photo shoot. Would you be annoyed?
I would be so flipping pizzed. Even more so since you specifically asked her not to.
If my MIL had done that to surprise me and I really didn't want DC entered, I would contact the contest myself and ask them to remove DC letting them know I was not the person to submit the photo but was the parent. I would also then let my MIL know I had removed MY CHILD from the contest and then have DH speak to her.
My MIL made DD's christening outfit without discussing it with either DH or myself first. I flipped out. That was a decision for DH and I to make what she would be wearing that day. I asked him to speak to her and he did. And we didn't use her outfit.

Both great points! I would likely do the same.

I still wouldn't mind. But I don't let much bother me. Sometimes for me, it's not worth it.

I wish I were so mellow! (seriously I do!) Anytime MIL or anyone else goes against my wishes I always wonder what else she does that I *don't* find out about. I guess I am pretty paranoid that way.

Yes my MIL does things that I don't agree with but for me, it is not worth fighting over. If it jeopardizes Andrew's health or well being then yes I would have to say something and be angry.
I guess I feel this way because we almost lost my FIL last year and arguing over things is just not important.

Yes, I'd be annoyed. My MIl is like that too. SO I wouldn't put it past her to try something like this.

Re: Spinoff to GAP photo shoot. Would you be annoyed?
I dont see what the big deal is....
I think its awesome that grandma is so proud of her grandson.
Chances are out of the millions of pics that were sent, he wont be winning anyway (altho Im sure he's adorable) so its not like you will have to deal with the burden....

Re: Spinoff to GAP photo shoot. Would you be annoyed?
yes i would be annoyed. my own sister put up pics of me and DS on facebook without asking me first, and i made sure to tell her that was not acceptable. if my MIL pulled that i would make sure DH had words with her as well - especially if we had ALREADY told her to consult us first.

Really?!? My sister, cousins, SILs, DH's cousins ALL have pictures of DS on their myspace/facebook. I don't have a problem with it, they love him and want to show it

So, do you apply for jobs you don't want, thinking that you won't get them anyway? They show a lot of the entries on the show and the pictures become theirs to use whenever they want. Maybe you don't see what the big deal is but some of my clients have issues (especially with exes) that put me and my family at risk. I only want select people to know my son's name and what he looks like. Grandma can show his pictures to all her friends without putting him on TV. I have reasons to believe that his picture would be shown.

well these pics were of me and DS only hours after my c-section. she posted them while i was still in the hospital. she then sent a snapfish link to my best friend who i hadn't even been able to tell in person about Luca's birth because she was in europe. that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
i think if you are okay with it, then it's fine - i WASN'T okay with it, and i spoke to her about it, and now my family knows what i feel is okay and what isn't.

Re: Spinoff to GAP photo shoot. Would you be annoyed?
The bottom line is that her parental choices were disregarded and disrespected. She did not know her boundaries. It has nothing to do with pride of a grandchild - that is rather obvious. Who WOULDN'T be proud of a grandchild?
It is effectively the same sort of feeling I would get if someone said my child was too small and fed my daughter formula, milk or ice cream to "fatten her up" if I flat out said she was to get breast milk only. People simply cannot and should not do as they wish when it comes to someone else's child - grandparent or not.
I know for a fact that my mother would NEVER have submitted a picture of Abby even if she thought she was the next coming of Heidi Klum. She may have suggested it, but never would have taken it upon herself to take those liberties. She knew her boundaries.

Exactly!
I rarely post pics of myself also since I work with lots of clients. I don't want my son to be associated with me per se.
I do understand the privacy issue.
I feel if you explicitely asked not to it's completely inappropriate.
Also, for those who don't care. How would you feel if your mom or a family member posted a pic of you in a bikini contest because they are proud of you?. Or any other contest that you would have not want to be in. That's going against someone's wish.

Sophie, I am not kidding you when I say that if I looked good enough in a bikini for someone to enter me in a contest, I'd be THRILLED.

You know what I mean! 
Heck.... I would enter myself in a bikini contest if I had the body.
ETA: I would be mad if it was with my current body though.

As it is she was video-ing ds when I wasn't around and never sharing said videos. That made me as well!
