I’d LTB if I was in your position. Some things I can forgive but this isn’t one of them.

MyriadeOfThings · 16/07/2021 20:29

I don’t know. I do that too.
And selfies with me and my dcs too.

Iit’s just a nice way to send pics to parents 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
They do the same btw. Selfies of both of them they send to me. (They are mid 70s)

Struggling to see what is funny there

frazzledasarock · 16/07/2021 20:29

I think it’s sweet.

And a bit odd but if his mum doesn’t mind 🤷🏻‍♀️

TantrumsAndBalloons · 16/07/2021 20:29

Oh my grown up son sends me selfies, I love it. Didn’t realised it was such a weird thing to do?

BarefootHippieChick · 16/07/2021 20:30

@topcat2014

I read this as selfies to his mother in law. Now that would be weird!
Me too and now I'm thoroughly disappointed 😂
ItEludesMe · 16/07/2021 20:33

Sometimes the DC are in them too Grin

Maybe it says more about me, but he was laughing too!

I have to admit that all of his siblings and him have rock solid self esteem

Well when's great job their parents have done.
More selfie's please Grin

HauteGirlSummer · 16/07/2021 20:34

Awww I think that's sweet. I send pics to my mum and siblings all the time.

If it was his MIL that would be odd, but it's his mum, it's okay ☺️

imacuddler · 16/07/2021 20:35
  • well what a great job his parents have done raising them That was meant to say!
MaMelon · 16/07/2021 20:36

The fact he’s laughing shows a healthy level of self awareness Grin

Hen2018 · 16/07/2021 20:36

We all do that here. My parents send me messages (with selfies) from their dog.

Snoopsnoggysnog · 16/07/2021 20:37

@ItEludesMe

I don't know why I find it so funny! It's just so hilariously like him.

I have to admit that all of his siblings and him have rock solid self esteem. Maybe the selfie sending is part of that Grin

I love this!

You sound like a bit of a dick, OP.

A bit dramatic Confused

I agree. I think he sounds fab. I hope my DS grows up to be like that!
Unsoliciteddeckpic · 16/07/2021 20:39

Dp takes the piss out of me for doing this. He thinks it's cute and hilarious. I have to laugh too. I didn't realise it was normal until I had it pointed out

Me and mum aren't close by, so I do it alot. Me and my kids do too. My dd is 17 but will send me selfies whenever she is out.

Ds sends them from his room.Grin

I send them to dp when I am out without him too.

@MrsBertBibby

Yep
MyriadeOfThings · 16/07/2021 20:39

You only need a rock solid self. esteem if you are doing something daft.
What is daft about sending a photo of yourself to your mum? Confused

toocold54 · 16/07/2021 20:40

Is he taking selfie’s of him on days out to show them where he’s been or are they random ones of him sitting on the sofa posing?
There’s a big difference

MyriadeOfThings · 16/07/2021 20:41

What is he supposed to be self aware about?
LucretiaBorgia · 16/07/2021 20:41

I don't think that's weird per se. A selfie in a sex shop, that would be weird! Otherwise it's just.... meh.
My DH sends his mum selfies occasionally, eg of an important work event. I've never thought twice about it.

WildJelly · 16/07/2021 20:41

I wish my DSs would
Send me selfie's of themselves Blush

ItEludesMe · 16/07/2021 20:42

I bet he's posing Grin This is the man who looks at himself in all shiny surfaces Grin

Ah I hope my ds's will do this when they leave home and it winds my future dils up
I would love to see wee pics of them.

ChubbyLittleManInACampervan · 16/07/2021 20:45

My MIL sends selfies to me

What does that mean?! Grin

Some people just love pics of themselves and thrive of positive comments

Ifitquacks · 16/07/2021 20:47

Ahh it’s quite sweet.
I mean... I find it odd as I don’t think my DH (mid 30’s) has ever even taken a selfie, and neither have I, let alone sent one to our parents, but I still think it’s sweet Grin.
