Do you display photos of your kids in your own home?

We just had one year photos taken of my son and now I don't know what to do with them!! (except obviously giving them to the grandparents) I work from home and DH doesn't have an office job - so no desk to display photos on at work. And now I'm thinking it would look kind of weird to put pictures of my son up on the walls or on the bookshelf in my family room. Do you all do this? Does is look presumptuous/show-off-y to put up pictures of your child in your home? Maybe I should put some in our bedroom?
I know I'm over-thinking this but I'm curious. |

| To each his own. Personally, I'm not big on photos as decoration. I love photo albums though. Just me I guess, but I only put pics of family in the bedroom. |

I think there has been a study on the relationship between class and where family pictures are displayed in the home. If there wasn't a study on it, then perhaps it was something that appeared in a book.
That aside, if you have beautiful pictures of your child that you would like to display in your home, do it without worrying about what others think! It's is not presumptuous, it is not show-offy. You pay for your home, whether you rent or own it, and you can display whatever you desire. |

| We do display ours, but in the "private rooms" of the house -- so the upstairs hall, our study, bedrooms, etc. We generally don't display them in the LR, DR or main hall on the first floor. |

| I would think it extremely odd for people NOT to display photos of their kids in their house, in all parts of the house. |

| This is one of those things that should be dictated by what you love. Do you love looking at pictures of your kids? Put them up. Do you love the idea that people think you have class? Hide those pictures now! |

THIS x 1000!!! If you think it's "low class" to have pictures of your kids in the family room, then you are too dumb to be a parent. Seriously! |

We dont have room. That is why we only have a few photos up on the fridge. We love our kid but simply have other, more quality things to put up on the walls. It doesn't mean we dont love our kids or any other bizarre theory.

The idea behind the photos/class thing was this- the lower your class, the closer the pictures are to the front door.
Lower class people will display pictures in the entryway/foyer of the home Middle class people will display pictures in the living/"public" areas of the home Upper class people will display pictures in the "private" areas of the home, such as in the bedroom, the hallways leading to bedrooms, or in photo albums, and decorate the public areas with what is traditionally considered artwork That being said, there are many people who are very wealthy who hire the services of a custom portrait photographer. The work that the photographers produce is high quality, beautiful, and truly art, and these photographs are displayed in public living areas. *I'm just reporting what I've read, so don't attack me for it if you disagree* |
