[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s more to why this bothers you - because it seems a trivial request. Are your parents demanding? Do you feel self conscious  or anxious around them? Do you have crappy memories from family trips? Something is going on.[/quote]

This. I'm not a huge picture/video taker.  A few here and there for ourselves but that's about it.  I grew up with parents who documented everythingggggg.  We have entire albums dedicated to one trip.  My dad would bring his video recorder everywhere.  So my mom will ask for pictures/videos constantly when we are on vacation. I'll send maybe 6 a day and am always hit with "that's it?!?   Send me more!".  And I just want to live in the moment and not be tied to capturing everything.  [/quote]

Yeah this broader context is the issue, not the request itself. I agree with a PP to send whatever you want once a day and then mute the chain. And if the criticism gets too annoying partway thru, it's fine to stop.

Not exactly the same but I've had times I shared pix with my parents of trips, my kids etc and their feedback made me wish I hadn't.[/quote]
