To save some photos of DD's dad's family for her.

My ex and his family seem completely uninterested in her, his mum has seen her once as a newborn, his (half) sister said "Well they aren't real cousins" when I asked if she wanted to meet up to introduce her DC, his other sister messaged me once asking for photos early on, since then hasn't replied to any photo's sent so I have stopped now.
Ex has told me his dad already has grandchildren near him so doesn't have time to see DD Hmm
And ex uses any excuse possible to get out of seeing her, and turns down any attempts to try to get him to see her more.

I can't see any of them being involved in the long term, especially once she is out of the "cute baby" and "cute toddler" stages, but I can imagine as a teenager/adult she might have questions about the other half of her family, and if they aren't in contact I thought the best I can do is have some photos to show her and tell her what I know about them, but would it be a bit stalkerish to save some photos of his family from facebook in a folder for her? Hmm

I don't think it's stalkerish. Keep them for "just in case", you never know how things will play out.

Definitely keep them. She will want to keep them and look at them when she gets older

Please keep them. My mum threw out all the photos of my (D)F and his family and I had no contact with them from a very young age. I wish I had something to look at just to satisfy my curiosity Sad

Yes keep them - it's her biological history - she will be interested one day
