But some of my friends are not so keen. In fact, one child-free friend recently posted that she’s sick of all the first-day-of school posts and is thinking of blocking friends with children until they turn 18. She called us ‘sharents’ — parents who share too much.

Are sharents — parents who blog, tweet and post pictures about all aspects of their children's lives — doing their children harm by crossing the boundaries between public and private life?

Still in testing with select users, Facebook highlight gives users the opportunity to throw in a couple extra bucks with their status update in order to ensure that it appears in more friends’ feeds….[A] prediction: a suspicious increase in the amount of "sharenting" posts in our feeds.
