Eh. I have plenty of pictures of my daughter naked as a baby. The weird part of this is showing off the naked picture to a stranger on the bus and making mention of the genitals in specific.

Anyway, everyone knows that naked baby pictures are used to torture children in front of their serious romantic partners brought home for the first time. This has not happened in my 14-year-old daughter's life yet, but I hope to one day have this privilege that comes with parenting.

My response, when my mom showed my first partner naked baby pictures was to nudge my partner and say "don't worry, I'll send you some more recent ones.

My mom super didn't appreciate the joke, but she never pulled out baby pictures for future partners.

LOL, mom busted out the baby pics for every gf. My. Turn.

Gonna show your new step dad all the naked pics of your mom you have?

Torture? Why people have such trouble with their romantic interest seeing pictures of you naked when you looked totally different?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (7 children)

It's not actual torture. It's just embarrassing your kid over something that most people would consider trivial as a form of ribbing them.

[–] Entropywins@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nah it's basically waterboarding...

You'd sure think so from some of these responses.

But I do enjoy the person who thinks you need to get consent from a baby to ethically take its picture.
