To think that black and white professional photos of half naked parents with new babies on FB are a bit cringe.

So don't do it with a child of yours then

Jojoanna · 02/03/2014 21:26

They can be a bit tasteless

Please tell Simon Cowell Confused

Shakey1500 · 02/03/2014 21:29

Haven't got one myself (not a decent pic of me exists Grin ) but I think, if tastefully done, they can look great.

Ah, I thought this was a reminiscence thread. I was going to wax lyrical about my exploding cocktail and rainbow make up androgynous youth.

MammaTJ · 02/03/2014 21:32

I certainly wouldn't do one, being a fat old bird!

Those who are fit and gorgeous should though, as a record of their fitness and gorgeousness!

Jojoanna · 02/03/2014 21:36

Don't think I would put them on FB. But I'm not young or gorgeous

lilola · 03/03/2014 00:00

Monty27 · 03/03/2014 00:01

A bit look at me,

Is that not the entire point of photographs?

Yes that's true that is the point of pictures

No. The point of photos is "awww...look at us!" said 20 years after the photo was taken by the people in it.

Posting it on FB is very "look at meeee!" attention seeking.

Don't ever look up engagement photo ideas on Pinterest. Apparently getting married in America gives you celebrity status.

Jojoanna · 03/03/2014 07:16

By the sound if it so does having a baby.

Sarahschuster · 03/03/2014 09:37

Ultimate cringe. YANBU.

deakymom · 03/03/2014 10:15

the posed sleeping baby pictures are also favoured with the half naked pics brigade i really wish they would let that child sleep Wink

to be honest when i look at my photos i want to see my children how they really are not how i want them seen x

mrsjay · 03/03/2014 10:16

I rememeber the baby from the original poster was on big fat quiz of the year with stubble god that made me feel ancient Grin

YANBU i blame instagram myself it is very cringey

AMumInScotland · 03/03/2014 10:34

I though theis was going to be about the girl in the tennis dress scratching her butt Grin
