What are some common misconceptions that I can take pictures of?

My step daughter wants to take pictures of us home?

  • She is 4 so she misses us when she is with her mother. She wanted some pictures to take home. I helped her go through my albums on facebook and let her pick the pictures she wants. She chose a few of daddy and a family picture, but she also chose 2 of just me and her father. She is adamant that she wants all of the ones that she chose. I know, though, that her mother is going to raise a fuss if she goes home with pictures of me and my husband. She will never believe that the child asked for those specific pictures. Should I keep my promise to the child and let her take the pictures she chose or should I keep the mom happy and just send pictures of the dad? (I know that she'll probably be mad no matter what, but a child deserves to have pictures of her father if she doesn't get to see him every day. Especially when she specifically asks!)

  • Answer:

    Let her take them. But I'd also give the mother a heads up (or have dad call) so she has the opportunity to get used to the idea and can react properly when she sees them in her daughter's possession. Just on a side note, just in case she goes wonky, be sure you have copies of the pictures just in case something happens to them.

Send the pictures. The kid wanted them. The mother needs to grow up and do what is best for the child and if she makes a fuss about the pics then that is on her.

I think you should send them. Maybe do a follow up phone call to explain to her that the the child wanted them. It will show you understand the awkwardness of the situation. If you go with the father to drop her off or if she picks her up, you should pull her aside and brief her on the situation. If she is a decent person she will respect you for it. If she gets mad then shes a b*$ch.. and I just wouldn't worry about it.

absolutely let her take them, i have no idea what her mother is like but my daughter is two and stays with her father and soon to be step mother every second weekend, i suggested they make a album for her to have with me, it has pictures of them alone, my daughter giving her step mother a big kiss, does not bother me, her mother should be happy that you are so willing to do this and that her child is comfortable enough with you to want something of yous by her bedside at night! do what she asks, if mum makes a fuss just simply tell her its what she wanted if she is uncomfortable with it she can take them away from her daughter and explain why as you wont:) i personally think its lovely and welcoming for the child:) if mum cant see that its a shame really.

Send them, if her mother is raising a fuss then she obviously isn't mature. No mom should throw a hissy fit over pictures that her child wanted of her family. Even if they are of you, she needs to understand that life has moved on and you are part of the family

I think you should send the pictures in a photo album just for her. So the pictures can be "hidden" and not on display. I would also have your husband call her mother and tell her about the pictures. And if she gets mad, all I can say is she needs to grow up. She should be happy her daughter is going to a loving home where even the step-mother loves her. You know how many kids would be happy to have step-parents truly care for them like that? Oddly enough I went through something similar. My oldest daughter wanted pictured of her dad, step-mom, and all her siblings on his side. At first THEY didn't want to give them to her because of me. I put a stop to that quickly and now my daughter has her family proudly displayed in her bedroom. I think more parents who's children have step-parents really need to starting thinking about the child and their feelings, and not their own.

yes give her the pictures. she deserves to have them, even if her mother gets mad. If her mother gets mad abut something as simple as that then the child will need to know what her father looks like and that he is still there for her as well as you. my sister's mother was like that and if she did not have the pictures of her father and step mom she most likely would have gotten lonely. when my sister got older the only real way fro her to see us was to sneak out of the house and grab a cab. U don't want that to happen to your step daughter too.
