To think no one actually cares about pictures of my children on FB?

[Stripedmum]

Be honest. Unless it's family do you really want to see thousands of pictures of other people's children if any?

I inundated the web with pictures of our first baby. Now I've had the second one I've decided not to...

Call me evil but I find pictures of other people's children boring and therefore don't want to annoy others with thousands of pictures of mine. I also think it's a bit insensitive to those who can't have kids: "Look at my beautiful children!". If you want to celebrate them why not print the pictures off and send them to loved ones/text them to people who are genuinely interested?

by narcissism do you mean posy selfies with duckface pout?!

Yeah all that crap. Cringe o rama.

But forgive anyone under the age of 21 for that I reckon.

Its probably a sort of affirmative way of loving yourself that isn't terribly unhealthy, I'd rather see (and then hide) 16 year olds doing that than hearing about them self harming or something!

25 year olds can do one though

I know a few people in their mid thirties who do those cringy duckface selfies on Facebook!

The sole function of my FB page is really so that friends/grandparents/other family in other parts of the world can see pics and videos of my DS! I am careful only to put up a few and to make them interesting, good pics (such as studio pics, or really good snaps of interesting events and places, not just loads of random snaps).

And OP, just because you think your life is "crap"why try and bring people down to your level. That is just low.

FB is basically just vanity publishing.

It's nice to see a few. I like looking at friends' photos and I don't mind if it's of their children as long as their are not too many or it gets boring. Just stick to the really special ones.

My mother is friends with me on Facebook and various other family members and they very much enjoy looking at photos of my children.

If anyone gets bored then they are free not to actually look.

I don't really view my fb page as being for anyone other than me really. I put up all sorts of random bits and pieces .... The pics could just as easily be of cake as the children lol.

I have most of my nieces and nephews on hide and just pop onto their page once in while to see if anything more exciting than where they are going clubbing has happened.

You don't have to look at anything you don't want to. And, to be honest, if you have reached the point where a scan picture is really upsetting then every little thing is going to set you off anyway.

I can't have kids and I'm bleeding delighted to see photos of my friends/colleagues/families children. Don't be such a grouch.
