Was wondering about this. I’m very close to my nieces and nephews and they’re in some of my favorite pictures of me but I don’t include them in my OLD because I want to avoid the ambiguity. Also I can’t stand when a girl has a photo and I can’t tell if it’s their kid or not
I’m not sure if this terribly corny but I kind of want to just throw an arrow that says “niece” and pointed to them. It might be weird if I do it only but it’s be cool like that was normalized
I also accept if this is a god awful idea lol

You could do this or just mention it in one of your prompts (“the adorable kids are my niece and nephew!”). Definitely mention it somehow because people will assume they’re your kids and that will definitely put some people off.
Don’t put pictures of kids on OLD. They don’t exist to help get you ass.
I swipe left on every single profile with kids with faces that aren’t blacked out.
I’ve seen men put “niece” and “nephew” labels onto photos themselves, and they usually have the look of being created in Microsoft Paint or some other really amateur method. Sometimes they even blur out the kids’ faces.
The downside of this is you kind of come off like a police detective and the profile isn’t aesthetically pleasing compared to other profiles.
Definitely something you could experiment with to see what results look like.
Eh an arrow added on seems kind of juvenile. If you’re going to go that far just photoshop the kid completely out of the pic. I don’t want to see children of any relation on someone’s OLD profile. As a mom I’m just all too aware of how many perverted people use social media to find new targets and it seems distasteful to me.
Take better photos without children.
Just don’t post pictures that have kids in them. I don’t think anyone wants to see those.
It’s also a red flag putting any kid in photos like that.
