ivillage pregnancy message boardsIs reading my Daughter in law's i village message board post an invasion of her privacy ?

My DIL made friends on ivillage during her pregnancy . She posted many subjects and many nasty things about me and my husband. She openly told me that she posted there and posted photos and a birth story after my granddaughter was born. We stayed for 2 weeks after the birth to help with her 3 children from 2 previous relationships. When we returned home, I signed on to ivillage because I too belong to a group there , and I went to my DIL's pregnancy group and there clearly posted for all to see were our names and very personal things that she was complaining to her friends about. She said she never cared for my husband or me and that we "took over " her home. We were so hurt by what we read . I called and my son answered and I told him what I saw and she threw a fit. He got off the phone to calm her and seemed annoyed at her . But then he called back and said I was wrong and I invaded her "Privacy" and she said in the back ground that pigs will fly before I see my grandchild again. Hel
A public website is not private, so no, you did not invade her privacy. And if I were you I'd be sure your son knows that she practically invited you to toivillage pregnancy message boards look at it by telling you it was there and what she had said in it. He may decide that he should also take a look. You may want to let things cool down a little before approaching the subject, as she seems to have him in her control right now....and go about it in a nice way when you do.

Ahhhh...family politics. No,if it is on a public site then it can't be an invasion of privacy.It's no different the going to someones MySpace page.If she didn't want those remarks to be seen then she shouldn't have posted it.Maybe you can blame it on postpartum syndrome!
If she's got it on a public message board then I don't see it as an invasion of privacy as it's there for all to see. She's throwing a hissy fit because she has been found out. I would let the 'storm' calm before getting in contact again - surely your son will let you see your grandchild.
did you honestly expect anything else?

sorry to say, she is a AV儿劣** and trust me, things won't get any better.
She shouldn't have told you about it. How stupid!! On top of that, she used all your names... If she didn't like you, she shouldn't be so open with you about something like this. It's a freakin' iviivillage pregnancy message boardsllage post, not her own private email. She needs to get a life... I feel sorry for you to have such a pig headed daughter in law and I hope you get to have a relationship with your grandchild.
She better hope the wrong person doesn't view what she wrote and posted. People with no damn common sense at all do things like that.
It is not an invasion of her privacy if it is a public message area. Does that mean that everyone that reads it is invading her privacy? NO. She posted it, knowing anyone could see it. Now if you had gone in using her password, then yes but it does not sound like it. If I did not want someone to know or see something then I would never post it anywhere, never write anything down because that is "written in stone." especially not on the Internet. If it is written then you can not take it back, I say her fault. And it almost sounds like she wanted you to see it, but then had a fit when you did. She just did not know how to react. I do not know your situation, so I am only speaking on the privacy issue and the Internet.
