She and her husband had a photographer come to the hospital for the birth pics and she is sending around pics of her and her husband with strained smiles with the new baby.
Is this an insane person thing?
I have had a lifelong struggle with mental illness, and so has my sister, but when I found out she became successful and got a successful husband I was like "well good for her, went further than I thought."
Am I being weird or is that kind of nuts? Tell me I'm being weird.

I read this like 4 times because I'm buzzed and I'm sure I must be missing something, because your sister sent out pictures of herself with her newborn and the father and that's insane because you don't like their strained smiles?
Please tell me I accidentally or you accidentally a sentence.

In the past people took a quick photo of the mom with the baby (maybe with dad) and left it at that. Text is enough for everyone interested that mom+baby are healthy. Sending a photo of mom+baby to VERY close relatives, not uncommon.
Now this woman hired a professional, which I've never heard of in that context and is sending around those pics. This is bizarre behavior unless you think in Instagram / showing off becoming a mother. People usually do not send out pictures of these events, let alone hire a photographer.

It's actually quite common. After delivery, there were ads for photographers in our room. One even came the same day and banged on our door to make sure we didn't want their services. It was very weird to me that the hospital would let them do that.

Thanks for replying. I still wonder what the specific thing is where we all disconnect or not understand each other.
My hunch at this moment is that in this culture new mothers and newborns are basically holy and hiring a commercial photographer makes it all profane.

No. There are pics of them cradeling the baby and stuff. I'm open to the possibility that I'm the weird one but my first reaction is like... why do you need a photographer for that... idk.

You should try not to be a foid for 5 minutes and stop judging your pregnant sister, first it was her terrible name choice, now it's that she wants pretty pictures of that once in a lifetime event.

One thing my grandmother would run into a burning building for was the family photo albums. It's more special to go over photos of things that happened many years ago vs just talking about "that one time".

Hospitals have photographers as contractors for baby shoots. I thought it was a little vane considering how rough childbirth is. Its not out of the ordinary though.

Yeah, people do that kinda thing these days. Social media broke peoples' brains. If you were to float the idea of gender reveals to someone in the 90s they would think you were fricking nuts but now we accept it as normal.

Wanting to know or not know the baby's s*x was an established sitcom premise in the '90s. A gender reveal party is just another baby shower, no one would be too surprised.

This whole situation sounds pretty serious, beings that there is a kid involved I wouldnt take any chances and call social services. Worst case scenario you'll have started and important conversation and your birth-having sibling will appreciate that you cared. Good luck OP and congrats on becoming an extended relative.

Women are inherently more powerful and more resilient than men and were created to lead and rule the world. Men are created to help and serve women. They're cowtools. You can find many examples of this in nature too. Plus the older men get the more they agree that this is the truth of life. Like wiser men will agree with what I just said and they understand that they're nothing in comparison to women in terms of inner power. It's only the stupid young ones that will argue and accuse me being anti-men. The world is not operating on its original mode. Women are wolves wolfthey need to reclaim their inner power. This world should revolve around women.

Not insane, just weird. There's no beauty to be captured there, just aftermath of a potentially deadly procedure. Yes, both made it through hopefully without complications, that's all people want to know. In text form or word.
To be clear: phone pics for posterity = fine. Professional for hire = weird. To send those pics around = very weird.

You sound so bitter that you're whining on rdrama while she can afford a photographer for a really special day. I'm happy for your sister, I hope the pictures came out great and that the baby also did
i'm sure the smiles seemed strained because birth is not easy and you've forgotten what a real smile looks like bc you're dating pizzashill and addicted to a square with a screen attached to it lol hope this helped xo
