See, I don't have to get over it, people's images are their property by law. Now and in the future. All you're doing is catapulting the propaganda to support the facebooks of the world, and signify your allegiance to them. All of your verbiage is NOT a fait accompli, just bluster and hype, old as the world.
And there is a spectre haunting the world.

I deleted the 40-50 pics I had, and there is nothing embarrassing about any sunset image ... etc.

The collectivist "what's mine is mine, but what's yours is up for grabs" shtick of those who worship technology and subscribe to the Facebook philosophy of attempting to legitimize what is nothing other than theft is not the solution - it is the problem.
To those who dismiss Facebook's theft of intellectual property as good, clean fun - I encourage you to put your worldview to the test: Go steal some of Facebook's property - break in to their headquarters and "borrow" 20 or 30 laptops. See how Facebook reacts to "good, clean fun."

That's really the reason they want the rights to the kid's photos, the youngs apparently must have facebook to have a social life. Facebook's exploiting that belief to steal their likenessi. Ayn Rand would love it.
"There's a time when the operation of the machine
becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you
can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And
you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the
wheels…upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and
you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to
the people who run it, to the people who own it, that
unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from
working at all!" -Mario Savio
I guess Rand never suggested anything like that though, just slink off pouting like Galt.

I find the reaction of many people to a warning about Facebook's onerous user agreement terms interesting, to say the least.
There is a significant number of F/B users who become irritated, resentful, and/or downright pissed off at what they choose to view as an unwarranted attack against F/B. They seethe in silence or launch a verbal assault when the facts are pointed out about F/B's user agreement. They react by shooting the messenger rather than directing their anger at the true abusers of their intellectual property.
This Facebook cherishing, along with the blind devotion to F/B - along with the resulting emotional attachment to F/B - is truly odd IMHO.

Isn't that what I said earlier, that so many waved their hands in the air wondering what ever could be meant by those appalling mouth noises?

I recall all this from 11 years ago. Now revived. Eh heh heh.
If you believe Facebook (or Facef**k as my partner's nieces and nephews all call it), just you go and read Flickr's T&Cs.
Which is why I've never posted any images on those so-called 'free' social sites. Nothing is really free in today's grab-it world. There is a price tag on everything.
Cynical, maybe. Time for more unrefined palm sugar in my super strength Indonesian arabica morning coffee...

Hmmm, I see many photographers who have been published by the top photo book publishers and top galleries for photography posting on FB and Instagram. I mean, I guess they do not value their photography...Maybe because you value your images more than you value being popular and trendy?
