[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't release how important it is to step back and let my children have control over something.   I was the helicopter video running during everything mom.  Then I watched my children sort of withdrawal from the fun.  Once I put down the phone and let them be at the playground,  at ice skating, etc they seemed alot happier.  I am accepting that I may have a few moments undocumented but both  of us living in real time is what makes the memories special in the first place.[/quote]

Yeah I don't understand this obsessive need to take 50000000 pics of every kid every day plus videos. How many pics and videos do you have of yourself eating pancakes or putting on your raincoat or picking up your backpack? Do we really need to document EVERY moment lest we forget it?? Guaranteed you don't have even 1/10 of the pics of yourself that your kid has of himself, yet somehow you survived.

I take pictures almost every day because both sets of grandparents live far away and both grandfathers are absolutely nuts about my kid. My dad only gets to see my kid once every 8-12 months, and my mom told me the last thing he does in bed is scroll through watching pictures and videos. [/quote]
