Can I just start by
saying I love kids and have nothing against them or anyone that
chooses to have one. I love infants and toddlers in particular, and I
think their innocence and charm are awesome in ways words cannot
describe. But that is not reason enough for all forms of social media
to be populated by endless streams of baby pictures.
I don't need to be
ambushed by 100 pictures of your son lifting his right hand or 50
pictures of your daughter wearing a 'My daddy is a superhero'
T-shirt. Posting any pictures of your child on the internet is
questionable at best and I fail to understand why people insist on
publishing every second of their child's life to the world.
Yes, it's a free world
and anyone can propagate anything their heart desires, and yes, I can
choose to unfriend or unfollow anyone that propagates anything I
don't appreciate but I don't think it needs to come to that. Neither
do I feel I need to install baby-picture zapping plug-ins. We should
be able to deal with this situation like the grown-ups we are
supposed to be.
here's what I'm thinking - I like to believe I
live an interesting life and get up to loads of interesting things
from time to time. And whilst the occasional picture of myself, for
example, on a night out could be amusing, I think it is safe to say
100 pictures, all of them from before I've left my house, would test
the tolerance of even my own mother.
I am not likening
myself to babies in terms of cuteness but I think my logic is very
clear. Too much of anything is bad. Also, posting endless streams of
baby-pictures on Facebook and Instagram is an expression of neediness and narcissism that is generally not very attractive. So, ironically,
you could end up making yourself look a bit ugly by continuing to
post pictures of your children. Figure that one out
To be honest, if I
don't see another random baby picture for the next 10 years, I don't
think I'd notice or care. In 10 years, I'll almost definitely have
kids of my own and I can guarantee that their pictures would be rarer
than the solar eclipse. And if I turn out otherwise, please feel free
to unfriend or unfollow me. You'd have my blessings
