Odd/Weird/Not So Great Pics of Kids on FB

[cdseno]

Pretty much every picture my sister or BIL posts is odd/weird/not so great. They don't know how to focus so they are all blurry and my niece always looks like a hot mess. BIL likes to post pictures of her with food all over her face. She is almost 3. It isn't cute anymore.

Well, I live in the south were all the BSC moms do pageants. So I get to see all the little "Honey Boo Boos". It's sad when the little girl is clearly not interested in the pageants.

my SIL is always posting blurry and just not attractive pics of my poor niece (95% of the pics are terrible - not focused or just not her best look).

Is your SIL my sister? I feel like I have asked that before. Was it to you?

The d-bags who post potty training pics. AKA my SIL and a girl from my HS.

It's not the specific pictures that bother me on Facebook, it's the quantity. Dh's cousin posts a picture of their kid at every freaking meal. Seriously they post like 5 pics a day of their kid on fb, Twitter, and indtagram. It's terrible.

I hate when people post a series of pictures, and they're all basically the same picture. Seriously, go through them and pick the best one for crying out loud!

This only happens in a separate FB group for local moms, not on my wall, but posting pics of your child's rash and asking what it is. WTF? First of all, those pictures never come out well. Secondly, we are not doctors. 90% of kid rashes look the same in a shitty iPhone picture.

I was part of a breastfeeding with food allergies group and there were so many pictures of rashes and poop diapers. I finally couldn't take it anymore.

Oh god. Honestly, I'd look at a million weird/stupid/duplicate pictures of babies for the rest of my life if I never had to see this kind of crap again.


My love/hate relationship with FB is turning into plain old hate.

Pictures of potty training, pictures of naked bodies, pictures in just undies, pictures when the kid is sick and they look so miserable in the pic that you know they don't want their parents taking pictures of them.

I also hate when the captions say something like, "my sexy/hot kid." That gives me the creeps.

What about the pictures of dying/dead people with the caption "don't scroll past without saying amen/RIP." My MIL will not let any of those pass her without typing amen.

Emergency room pictures. If you have your kid at the hospital it's probably appropriate to put your damn iPhone away and stop taking selfies with your sick/injured kid.

This! I know someone who has a photo of himself with his 3mo old laying in a hospital bed hooked up to IVs, as his profile picture.

Aaaand this. A woman I used to work with carries a potty chair around with her. She has posted a photo of her child sitting on the potty IN THE MIDDLE OF A PLAYGROUND.

How do people think this is ok?!?!?!?!

My SIL is guilty of this!

People who hashtag their child's name on every picture. I don't understand this? Is it so the child can one day search for every picture ever posted of themselves online? Please someone enlighten me!

Sexy or hot kid!?!? Um no. That is really effed up in my book!

This makes me so happy I'm not on Facebook.

[mrsnorris]

This thread is making me appreciate my Facebook friends. The Jamberry crap, gratuitous bad kid pictures, often misspelled posts about Jesus, the annoying, ignorant right-wing political rants about how the Obama is poisoning us with vaccines to use us as zombie soldiers in his war against Christians, and the people who apparently think that we all care whether or not they "like" a certain brand of toilet paper or ketchup pale in comparison to some of these winners. Calling your kid sexy? Traveling potty chair? WTAF?

Oh. There is also a girl that always uses the hashtags #hunk and #hottie when posting pictures of her 3 year old son. Ack.

If one of my daughters was 25 and a stripper I would still never say that she looked "hot" or "sexy".  You are their PARENT.  What is WRONG with people?  Is pedophilia suddenly trendy in some circles?  That's just sick!

I deleted Facebook from my phone after one of my friends from high school posted her daughters trail of diarrhea. I sent her a message telling her that was gross and she got pissed at me. She's the same chick who complained about a women breastfeeding at Macy's with a cover (the lady had on a sweatshirt), but posts pictures of herself in thong string bikini's (front and back).

I have a friend from high school who posts pics of her baby all the time...she even posted a pic of her daughter spitting up and captioned "action shot" I'm sure when your daughter is 16 she'll be so happy you spammed her puking all over facebook.

other than that my friends are pretty tame. It's the reposting of fox articles and overall political things that aren't researched or blatantly false that really get me.

^ This is fucked up. All of it.

A friend of mine has a 4 month old I swear looks like a turtle so every picture is weird. Her husband is quite turtley as well

I admit this is me for my Instagram. My sister started it and I kept going with it and it's kinda nice to have it all in one spot especially for out of state family

My s-MIL took a video of my DS while FIL was driving and the straps on his car seat were too loose.  I wanted to set AAAAQLLLLL the things of FIRE with my MIND POWERS. 

(So, this was when DD2 was born, my LOS went to stay with SIL, who lives 2 hrs away from us, FIL and s-MIL insisted on coming to pick them up and drive them home - They live in MD, we live in RI, SIL live in MA).  My DS frequently complains that the straps on his car seat are too tight when they are in fact at the appropriate level of tightness.  s-MIL and s-FIL indulge the grandkids in everything....I basically told MH, this is evidence why I won't allow them to go driving around with our LOs without me putting them in the car seats myself.  I son't even want to imagine what a hack job they did installing them into their cars in the first place.   I just can't.
