Aibu about these photos?

[Isitbedtimeyet101]

Mil keeps giving us photos in frames presumably to put up in our house.

The photos are of dh when he was a baby. Dh winning a trophy when he was about 12. Dh at a festival when he was about 18 before I knew him. Sil (dh’s sister) wedding photos.

Aibu to think this is very weird and not want to put these photos up in our house? I only want phones of my own children, me and dh. Dh wants to put his baby photos up.

Another thing, dh mum gave him a box of his old baby/childhood stuff and there is an old child’s character blanket from when he was a kid. He wants to put it on our bed instead of the throw.

What’s this blanket like?
Picture please!!

I would completely understand why dh wouldn’t want to look at baby photos of me on display, or any of my baby/childhood items tbh.

The only sentimental thing I can think of was some candlesticks that my late grandmother gave to me and dh put them in the loft 🤷‍♀️

I have a small photo of dh on my bedside table..... None of my dc!!

An old rag.

Is it of him as a baby?

See, I just find that odd. I can't imagine getting the "ick" because of some photos of my favourite person in the world as a child on the wall.

MIL died not long ago and we inherited a bunch of old photos - if DH wanted to put them up as a memento then I'd be all for it. I have plenty of me as a young child too.

I'm glad DH hasn't got the "ick" over it.

I don’t see what’s weird about having childhood pics up, really. I wouldn’t have the throw on the bed, though.

I have a photo of me and my gran on a shelf and my husband has a photo with his grandpa alongside it. All the other photos are far more recent including one on our wedding day. Most of the others are of our children.

Ye I do get that other people obviously don’t feel like that.

I really can’t help how I feel though.

The one time MIL did this, I roared with laughter and said child DH looked like a particularly plain alien (true), and I felt very fortunate that he’d saved his good looks for adulthood.

You can't, but you can try and put it aside for the sake of your husband?

There's lots of stuff DH does that wouldn't be my first choice, but it's his life and his house as well. It's not just up to me.

Dh as a toddler... Actually made me want a dc just like that! A mop of curls.
That our ds has absolutely none of!!

I 100% take all of the opinions.

I will say though that the thread wasn’t meant to be very serious.

Dh isn’t overly bothered and he likes to play me up in part over it.

I think I will suggest one of those digital frames though to mil 🤣

She's trying to clear out her house.

Nope. I find it odd too op. He was your mother in laws baby not yours.

is she decluttering though? My mum bar some photos in an album has nothing at all from my childhood. The one or two things she did have she gave me. She also has no photos up of me or her grandchild, only one of herself.

I keep imagining this adult double bed with a Teletubbies blanket. Or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 😂

Ah we met and married later in life (50), no children for us.

Which in some ways makes the photo thing more weird, She's giving me photos from 1971...

Seriously rag bin the blanket. End off.

The photos it's so weird shes giving you them as gifts - does she give you something else too?
I'm sure their is a hidden message in there. She's handed her baby over to you or something
