Dear Harriette: Daughter Doesn't Like me Filming Her

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Ugh. Can we not live our lives anymore without filming every dang thing?

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I personally find cameras intrusive. I don't mind snapping a few pics here and there. But, running around taking hundreds of pics on vacation or whatever, no thanks. I just want to be present and enjoy the moment. I don't enjoy turning everything into a photo op.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I can see a shot or two on prom day or something equally "big".

But just daily, run of the mill, getting ready for school?

That'd get on my nerves too.

Mom needs to back off.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

I've known camera crazy moms. They are ANNOYING.

Do NOT take my picture unless I give you permission.

I disagree, I think this is EXACTLY what mom is aiming for. Mom is showing daughter that MOM is in control.

Daughter needs to have a good lock on her bedroom door and the bathroom door,

and a scary Halloween mask to wear all the time Mom is around.

She showing daughter that daughter is not allowed any privacy.

Could Mom be charged with Kiddie Porn when these photos are posted on the Internet?

This is actually pretty sick. Why in the WOLRD would it come into your head that there was anything inappropriate going on? Seriously?

Oh, and about putting a lock on the door? Not in my house. My kids never had lock on their doors and I would never have allowed it...

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

Honestly, there have been incidents where parents drop off a roll of film to be developed & it contains a few innocent "bathtub" shots & some nosy clerk makes a stink about the photos.

No kidding.

I'd hate having that twisted of a mind.

Lindley · Guru

Nothing I hate more then being around someone who is constantly wanting to take pictures. You have to stop what you are doing (that you are enjoying) just to pose for the 100th picture. One picture is enough.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Mom needs to back off, plain and simple.

Good grief, the girl is a teenager, leave her alone.

Oh, and a lock on my kids door is a no-no, period.

Did your kids NEED a lock on their doors? Were you (anyone there) walking in unannounced with a camera taking pictures?

In my house, a closed door was enough, because everyone had to knock and wait for approval before opening the door.

This mother has no boundaries.

And "anything inappropriate"? She is taking LOTS of pictures while her daughter is "getting ready", which might include pictures in the bathroom, and pictures while she is changing her clothes.

Or getting out of bed. Or anything ...

SURPRISE !!! Mom just took pictures of you naked.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

We have locking doors.

But it's the push and turn door knobs.

They can be easily unlocked with a hanger or Bobby pin.

Locking door while changing is not a big deal to me.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

The mother is secretly the head of a child porn ring. She's distributing all this porn all over the internet. Watch out. Might want to call the FBI even.

I really need a rolling eyes emoticon.

You seriously need a psychologist.

Cause either you have an extremely twisted or extremely dirty mind.

TrudyML · Guru

OMG. Porn? WTF

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

NOWHERE does it say she is taking naked pictures. Get your mind out of the gutter.

Tignanello · My dog name is, Sasha!

Maybe mom really does - not naked pics of course - post all over social media. Maybe this kid is smart enough to know that her privacy is important. Mom needs to wise up.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Ed, I think you're reading to much into the OP.

I know too many people who have no boundaries, and too many people who grew up with parents who had no boundaries.

I videotape or photograph her getting ready for parties with her friends or getting ready for school.

She videotapes her getting ready for school? Would this include putting on make up and taking care of her hair in the bathroom while she's less-than-completely dressed?

How about coming out of the shower? Getting dressed in her bedroom?

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

No, ed - it really doesn't.

that's more of a medical diagnosis than an insult.

Then document important moments, not the minutiae you've been doing. Idiot.

DD had a friend whose parents recorded EVERYTHING. You never saw them without a video camera.

One night when she was cheering, DD did an extremely difficult stunt. I made the comment that I wish I had recorded it. One of the kids said, "Oh that's ok. Sam's mom taped it. It's right after Sam's morning piss".

We still joke about them.

I agree, the mom needs to back off.

FNW · Guru

I remember a book I read years ago. I don't remember the title, but in it, one of the characters had difficulty conceiving. Eventually she gave birth to twins, and proceeded to take pictures. Constantly. Finally, she learned that by spending all her time trying to "document" her children's lives, she was missing their lives.

The mother needs to back off and start smelling the roses, rather than trying to fit them in a frame.

YEP!!!!

I have stopped recording and taking so many pictures. I was watching the best moments through a lens. I won't live my life like that anymore. All the baseball games, dance recitals, all of that. Through a lens. Recorded on tapes that I don't even know where they are.

When I go to baby showers, and they ask to write advice for the new mom, I always write"

Enjoy the moment with your own eyes, not through a lens. That moment can never be gotten back. Your memory will far out live a picture.

Mary Zombie · Guru

I have friends that take pics of everything.....every happy hour.....every outing.....
I don't like myself in most photos so I want to decide what pics are public. I'm constantly hiding from their freakin cameras!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

When I was a kid and teen, we didn't have the ability to capture every moment like we do today. You didn't have pages and pages of clips of kids walking and talking and pooling and cooing and sleeping and eating and playing and crying and every other mundane thing.

If you brought a camera to school everyone wanted in the pictures. It was a special thing.

Now it's as common as breathing.
