[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I refuse to be one of those parents who is always taking pictures and videos of their kids.  I'm so glad that Iphones barely existed when my kids were babies.  Parents spend so much time trying to curate a "moment" it all ends up being fake.  There is no way you can captures really meaningful moments unless you ALWAYS have your phone out and on the ready.

I know I'm the odd one out of this one.  My SILs both seem to spend all their time taking and posting pictures of their kids.  I guess a lot of people like that, I find it highly annoying and truly fake.  They don't take pictures of their kid hitting other kids or crying or being assholes.  IT's all just so fake. [/quote]

YES!! I totally agree with this. It's one thing to take pictures at home or during a special moment (Christmas, etc.), but I never take pictures of my DD when we're out and about. I see too many parents with their phones in front of their faces trying to get their kids to 'smile' and inappropriate times (busy airports, trampoline parks, the farmers market). It's really annoying and distracting. I'd much rather be in the moment enjoying myself with my kids than trying to 'capture' it.
