Wait, who other than the grandparents actually wants to see the baby pictures? In my experience it is insufferable new parents that want to show their baby pictures to everyone and you have to pretend to like it to be polite. Maybe others just agreed to using another messenger just so they could ignore it better?
Depends on the baby, I liked seeing my nieces and nephews growing up. Random coworker baby pics though, they get one pic to announce them, then unsubscribe.
Have ever held a baby. They are little happy squish balls. It's intoxicating physiologically.
Yeah they're amazing! They definitely come with some intense needs but I think the world would be a better place if we all spent more time around babies.
How could you drop a baby? You ever held a baby? How could you not?
I know it's a hard concept... But people can be nice and genuinely happy for them?
Your basement is likely insufferable too.
I am genuinely happy for them, but that still doesn't mean I need or want to see random baby pictures twice a day.
P.S.: my basement is fine, thanks ๐
Haha. Yes, grandparents but also aunties and uncles and close friends. I've noticed that especially friends who have their own kids have been really keen. It's mostly been my girlfriend's female friends but my own two best friends (male) have been keen because they've been by my side in the journey and have been excited and wishing us well. For us it's not about spamming all of our contacts, just sharing with people who are close.
Chicks like baby pictures and they are 50% of society.
Yes but the person you are replying to lives terminally online, and we all know women don't exist on the internet.
Untrue.
Signed, a chick who gives negative shits about other people's babies.
To be fair, let's say 90%+ chicks like baby pics. There are some who are indifferent.
Still, even that number plus the number of men who are gracious, kind and actually care, we're still looking at an overwhelming majority.
I think if we socialized men to not deny their biology and actually be around babies the numbers would be a lot closer to 60 or 70 percent of both genders love being around a little squish baby. Plenty of people don't like it in both genders, but in my experience most men like a lot of domestic stuff if they're not specifically trained not to.
