Do you make it a point to take videos WITH your children?

My children are 3 and 2 and I have loads and loads of videos of them together. I stress about making sure I get their speech on tape before it fades away. I don’t always have my phone on me but I do document moments.

But it occurred to me that I have very few videos of myself and the boys, or myself and the boys. Like, a handful of that.

I don’t want to be grim, but if anything happens to me they might want these videos yes? And, we will want them to look back on ourselves? I am always so self-conscious of my head the way I look in videos, but I know if I am not here anymore then all videos are precious. Same with my husband. I certainly wouldn’t care what he looked like.


For whatever reason, do you make sure that you are in videos?

Yes. My dh and I take turns taking videos of us reading the bedtime story to dd. It's nice and not distracting and we are both in the frame.
