[quote=Anonymous]Back in the day people would make home albums or scrapbooks of their kids.  The AWFUL bias of 40 (yes I counted) near identical shots of a "baby moved its arm!", effectively existing while not stillborn were common for firstborns.  Not to mention baby books, monogramed everything, hyper-researched only non-toxic/organic things.  Also common were non-existent photos of youngest children unless it was whole family or both siblings.  Oldest "I entered a science fair"-"That's amazing! I'm so proud I'll get the camera".  Third child "I won regionals at the science fair!" "Yeah, yeah.  Aren't you cute, though, here come the tickle monster!"  So much so that one sister even asked how to get parents to pay attention to her little brothers since her parents sat with her and taught her all about their culture and language.

If facebook makes parents document their children more equally, I'm all for it.  Phone auto-upload is the norm and if facebook is free and dropbox costs money, you don't need to look.  Just mute or get off facebook yourself.[/quote]
