How to tell your friends to stop sending photos of their kids?
Look yall, TO BE CLEAR I SWEAR IM NOT HEARTLESS. I can say I like my friends kids. I’ll always like and comment on how cute they are when they just got back from a trip or they do a little photoshoot and post it on Instagram. Like milestones are cool, vacation photos are cool. Hell yea.
However, one of my closest friends literally snaps me photos of her kids doing the most mundane shit. I’m talking, eating fruit, watching TV, or eating again. This isn’t her first kid either, if it was I would understand. This is her THIRD child and it’s only gotten worse. I don’t respond at all when she sends it and she continuously does so. She hardly texts me back even I do try to ask how SHE’S doing, which I get she’s a busy ass mom. BUT THEN SHE JUST SENDS HER KID DAYS LATER EATING SOMETHING
The thing is, I just want to know about HER. Like, I’d love a to get a meme like she used to do, a selfie, her new nails she gets or her working out. Like ANYTHING in her life that involves her, not her kids.
How do I tell her to lighten up on the kids pics and just talk to me or send me things going on in her life that aren’t her kids eating a banana?
