Dh works long hours. I work morning, him late afternoon to late night. So we hardly see each other. We have a 7mo dd. She lay in the bath on her own for the first time today. I took a picture of her and sent it to dh. Cue a huge argument about how I shouldn't be taking pictures of her with nothing on. Its not like I put it on bloody facebook or instagram. I sent it to him privately and have no intention of showing anybody else. Should I be made to feel like shit for taking what I perceive to be an innocent picture of my daughter experiencing something new?
Just to add I delete these kind of pictures after I take them unless you can't see anything in them.

Says more about him than you.

What @Jon66 said. A guy at my work said he never changed his daughters nappy or bathed her because he didn’t want to see her naked as it was inappropriate. I was like Confused

Your DH is being hugely unreasonable. You were doing a kind thing to show him something he missed out on, and I'm sorry he made you feel this way.

Why do you delete them out of interest? It seems you’re both quite sensitive about it. I’ve got loads of naked pictures of my DS.

She was very excited not to have to share the bath with mummy. I just wanted to show him how happy she was

I only delete them because I'm worried if I ever lost my phone then somebody else would gain access to them. I do print them first Grin forgot to say. I have loads in photo albums

Is he worried about your phone’s security? It sounds like an overreaction to me. You were only trying to share a cute picture so he felt part of her doing something new.

Your dh is over reacting.

House4 · 01/04/2018 19:58

Your both overreacting! It’s a baby, it’s a first bath on her own, take as many pictures as you can. They soon grow up!

I blame our ridiculous society more than him. We're as bad as the Victorians.

FrozenMargarita17 · 01/04/2018 20:07

I have loooooads of pictures of my dd in the bath! Nobody except my husband would ever see them !

Allthewaves · 01/04/2018 20:31

Dh absolutely hates naked photos of dc. He has had the same reaction. So fair enough it's his thing he doesn't like, I take photos with strategically placed bubbles, sponges or toys when in the bath Grin

FellOutOfBed2wice · 01/04/2018 20:34

Your DH is a pillock. Jesus, I hope that your DD doesn’t grow up to be like my almost 4 year old.... she’s allergic to clothes and has worked out it’s a hilarious “prank” to take pictures of her own bottom with mine and DHs phones 😆

Relax OP, it’s not you, it’s him.

Oooh "clever excuse to not change nappies..." 😉lol.
If he is so disturbed by a baby's nakedness, it's easy to stick a cute emoji type icon on the picture, covering her modesty, from your phone's edit tools. Maybe he worries about who has access to images sent as multimedia files. My DH is like that too, so I just take pics from waist up to appease him. Sigh.😞
