No photo?

[PrincessCalley]

My brother and his wife had a baby this morning and they have sent us no pictures. AM IBU to be a little sad/upset by this? My own 2 daughters have been waiting all day to see a picture of their new cousin but we've gotten nothing

And the parents have a right to not send a picture, whether it's 5 seconds or 55 minutes to take.
People need to stop making other people's life events all about them.

And they have been, the grandmother has been sent pictures, she can send them on. OP feeling that someone is obliged to send her pictures within her own timeframe is completely unreasonable, its incredible that this needs to be pointed out.

And OP asked if she was being unreasonable, yes she is, she is now arguing with the vast majority of responses that say, yes she is.

This, I would be pretty pissed off if my husband/OH was spending time glue to the phone sending to all and sundry instead of supporting me and baby.

Thanks for all the replies. Yes I've been on here long enough to know that many people on this site are crazy!

Well get to see the baby as soon as it's home. As there is no hiding away for weeks on end like some on this site seem to want to do.

Madness 😅

When my little was was born around 9pm I FaceTimed my dad as he’s the closest person to me and I wanted to see his face, but as for “sending” pictures I didn’t do that until quite late the next day, my partner sent some to his parents and they distributed them to the rest of the family which I thought was quite normal?! We’d both been awake for 48 hours and I’d had problems during labour and required forcep delivery so sending multiple photos to different people was the last thing on our agenda

Exactly this ^^.

There are several perfectly reasonable reasons why he hasn't sent you a picture yet from dodgy hospital WiFi to clumsy fingers not hitting send. Maybe he was halfway through doing it when he had a chance to hold the baby and forgot to finish the job later.

But you are castrophising this to be about "the state of the world today" or your brother's lack of concern for you and your family.

"New baby sounds adorable. Are you OK for Mam to share the photos?"

So it's hardly impossible or difficult for a mum to do

20 years is 'a long standing tradition?!' 😂 And you call @HangryLilacGoose 'obtuse!' The irony! 😆

😂 LMFAO. Give over! OMFG! The entitlement from some on here!! I would be making you wait a week for a photo if you acted this bratty and entitled, as the OP! 😆

Exactly! 👏

You said it hun! 😆

I think that you are making a mountain out of a molehill. Your replies suggest that you will completely reconsider your relationship with your brother and his family just because you personally did not receive photos on the day of the baby's birth.

To take one small oversight and make it the basis of your future relationship with your brother and his family is completely disproportionate. Unless there is a massive backstory about a dysfunctional relationship, you are letting your hurt feelings dominate what should be a happy event.

If you continue with this attitude, it will spoil your relationships. Imagine having to tell your kids that they can't see their cousins because you didn't receive a baby pic on a specific day. That's a level of petty that seems ridiculous.

It sounds like you’re more bothered than the principle of the whole situation, than tne actual photos. If your ch are that sad that they’ve been waiting all day, can you not just ask your mum to send them on?
But it kind of seems like it’s less about actually seeing the photos and more the principle of the fact your brother hasn’t directly sent them to you, when he has to others. Which is fair enough, I’d be a bit miffed but also would get that he’s exhausted/busy/overwhelmed and he’ll do all the photo admin when he’s ready.

I think it says a lot about the state of the world today that someone can act so entitled about a photo when their brother has had a baby!! He’s excited, you’re not his priority at the moment, just get the picture from your mum if your priority is just looking at a photo and not an opportunity to berate your brother.

Honestly, people these days, I despair!!!

My God you are really annoyed about this thread aren't you?

Thanks for all the replies. Yes I've been on here long enough to know that many people on this site are crazy!

to be fair you have started one of the craziest threads I’ve recently read. How butt-hurt you are that your brother hasn’t jumped to sending a photo to you - so butt hurt you won’t just ask your mum. Which kind of shows it’s not about seeing a photo (which you could do easily) it’s about you not feeling ‘special.’ Which is pathetic
