[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard this third hand so I don’t know if it’s true but one nanny we were very interested in hiring turned us down because we had too many photographs of ourselves (DH and I) in the house.  She told a friend who told a friend (who told me) that she was afraid we were narcissists.  [/quote] there’s a fine line. I’m equally suspicious of people who don’t have any or anything recent. [/quote]

Bizarre. We don’t keep any photos of ourselves, new or old, on display in public areas of the house. I don’t really think it says anything about us except that we just don’t take many photos.[/quote]

Same. And my husband’s a photographer.[/quote]

What a relief.  I was just thinking whether people think we're weird that we don't have pictures of ourselves around.  I just am not artistic and figuring out how to put frames in an aesthetically pleasing way gives me a migraine.[/quote]

Team nanny here. We see each other ALL THE TIME, do we really need photos of ourselves all over the walls? Too many photos of the immediate family leans toward a high level of narcissism. And now that we catch glimpses into people’s homes via social media, I can attest that those with wooden photo-collages of the same 4 individuals over and over, with italic script stating [i]Best Family Ever[/i] are definitively [i] not my people. [/i] YMMV!
