To find this phone screensaver weird?

I'm an only child aged 30.

Last couple of times I've seen my dad I've noticed his phone background is of me...as a baby. I was a bit taken aback.

Previously he had a photo of me aged about 18 which was also annoying but I could live with it. Don't get me wrong...I was a very cute baby 🙂 but I feel odd every time I see it.

He joked years ago how much he missed me being a child. I think it's just because I am strong minded and answer back now, plus I spent more time with him then. I can't exactly tell him to remove it but I don't like it.

YABU - it's fine
YANBU - it's weird

YABVU. One of the most unreasonable of all unreasonable things I've read on here.

He is massively disrespecting you. Lots of red flags. Do you think he had paedo tendencies? Lots of men do. I would immediately go NC.

What????? That some stretch, and really quite a bizarre thing to think.

Don't be so silly.

I adore my DDs as adults but I miss them as children sometimes. It's sweet that he has this as his screensaver.

Ok it's clearly just me!!

I'll calm down about it and keep my mouth shut. And maybe even try to see if as sweet 😁

Er no @Sirius3030 he has his moments but he's a good father.

@janeseymour78 if you look at Instagram Shirley (Roman Kemp's mum) posted all this baby stuff saying how he'll always be her baby! It is more common than you think!!!

Although I can't find it now, maybe it wasn't insta 🤔

Well it might also be that if other people see his phone and its a picture of a baby they'll just think "aww that's nice" but if people don't necessarily know you and see he's got a picture of a women in her 30's on his phone, well they might think that's less sweet...

I don’t think it’s weird but In all complete honestly my father in law has a pic of my 35 year old sister in law as his background and I did initially find it a little strange. When I actually think about it it isn’t but I can understand your initial reaction
