Ugh! Unwanted delivery of old photographs. Have cut up and binned all the naked kid ones. 70s parents and boundaries, what?

Oof brutal.

My mum has stolen all the photos, and threw out the ones that gave her "bad vibes"; if there were any of me in the nude, she would have long since burnt them I reckon ahha

I have no photos of me when I was a kid, and I know HEAPS were taken, and dad doesn't have any that he took of me or our cats. But to get them, if they still exist, I'd have to contact mum, and that's just not happening. She can rot with her memories.

Boyo has zero photos until about 23 for many many Reasons. I’ve got loads, and did not need these repugnant ones. Do not take pictures of kids on toilets FFS!

Yeah, I don't get taking photos of kids on the loo or in the bath. Especially with how social media is these days.

So gross 🤢

I've got photos of my kid in the bath. He has such a happy look on his face its impossible not to take a photo. But its pretty easy to shoot the pic from above the waist too!

My ex-MIL had such a weird obsession with having a photo of all the grandkids together in the bath. So so weird.

I think I have 3 photos of when I was a kid, parents just didn't care, they were too busy taking photos of the favourite kids.

"Kid" is older than 5? Yeah that's weird.
If we're talking baby photos though, I've got a dozen or so photos of the kids when they were babies/toddlers naked. Not with bits showing, and not shared to social media.

Is that not normal?

These were bits out. My opinion of infants tends to offend, these pics being me made them even more distasteful.
