[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think tacky is the right word.  Why does this bother you?  It's not remotely to my taste, but I'd assume your aunt is just super excited.  Stop being such a b and be nice about it.  Seriously, this is something you thought was worth getting annoyed about?  I pity you.[/quote]

I am unapologetically annoyed by this. I find it to be very emblematic of our current [b]"look at us, we are expecting" culture[/b]. Aunt can be happy--but a large, framed pic is a bit over the top.

But thanks for thinking of me.[/quote]

WTH does this even mean?  I don't like kids.  I love mine, but couldn't care less about other people's children.  I have no interest in babies, I don't want to see them, hold them, or talk about them.  I see pregnant women and shudder remembering how I didn't enjoy being pregnant.  I have never had a desire to look at a sonogram picture or touch someone's belly or anything like that.  However, having a kid is a life-altering experience, and I can understand why some people are super over the moon about it.  This is a grandma, but maybe this is what she's wanted her whole life.  (I can't empathize because while I'm sure I'll be excited when my girls have babies later in life, I don't plan to become only a grandma at that point just like I'm not only a mom now.)  So while I don't share the emotions of people who are elated about babies, I understand that they are thrilled.  So why do you let a picture of someone's pure joy bother you?  It makes you sound grinchy.[/quote]
