I had a similar experience as Marten.

My mom showed me some scrapbooks she'd put together a few years ago, and while looking through them, I find a picture of me in my potty-training phase sitting on one of those little kid chairs, the one with the bowl/bucket underneath to catch the product.  That would have been bad enough on its own, but it gets worse.  Not only was I sitting on my potty-trainer chair, I was butt-naked and wearing a Burger King crown with a stupid smile plastered on my face.  Mom tried defending its placement in the book because it was "a cute picture" (her words, not mine), but I held the book hostage until she took the picture out and promised to never bring it up around anyone again.

Look, I know parents love their children and want to remember every one of their milestones, but there are some milestones that are best left as memories and not as pictures and/or videos.

Boomslang:
I suppose I'm unusual. I'm on excellent terms with my mom right now, unlike several of my siblings, and I think a huge part of that is that I was willing to argue with her and correct her when I thought she was wrong. My mom places a premium on people being frank and up front about things.

Although I also don't mind her showing pictures/video of me as a little kid. If it's anyone's fault I look silly in them, it's hers.

WU-hahahaha!

Come on, she's come all this way, she can't leave before she goes and sees her.

This x 1,000,000. If Jeph doesn't give us that "moment of fear" look from Dora at least once before she leaves, I'll be disappointed.

St.Clair:
various posters:
"she didn't expect him up so early... she knows she crossed a line"

So it's okay to ridicule, infantilize, etc your grown son in his absence, to his peers, when you know he's already having a crappy [time period], so long as (you make sure) he doesn't find out about it?
Good to know.

(Because if he did know, then he'd be embarrassed.  But as long as he's not aware, no harm no foul, right?)
