Do you take lots of photos and videos of your children for them to look back on?

I don’t seem to have many photos or videos of myself from when I was little. So I seem to overcompensate now and take loads.

Disclaimer: my opinion, not a fact.
There are may be 100 of me between birth and 18. If that. When I look at them, they are lovely and I remember the events. Happy moments. There are less than 30 of my dad from 0-30 (currently making a photo book, so I have them all). God, they are great!!
Dd - I've got over 2000. Very few of them are as special as the one single photo of my dad with his parents on a beach in 1940 something.
Take the photos, but do something with them! We save them all - 7 of dd eating yoghurt!!! Big wow.

Yes I should do something with them, they are mostly on a hard drive.

Yes, for more or less the same reason as you OP. Hardly any of my parents - so I really overcompensate now...there are thousands. ..of me...family..DH etc etc. God knows what my DC will do with them when I'm gone....hopefully look after them but who knows? !

I've got over 10,000 photos/videos of my dog

I've got hundreds of DSD. Although she did once comment on "Poesy why do you have so many photos, you have sooo many". But, I love looking back on them and I hope that one day she will have joy from looking back at them too. She does enjoy helping us make our yearly calendar and I only ever take photos of her when she's okay with it, if she says not to then I won't.
