No, I’m not a gran. I could send her OH bird watching pictures.

I’m equally fed up with those ?

Yes I agree don’t respond so often she might take the hint.

Enough is enough after the first week or so. Are you a gran yourself? If so I’d ‘love bomb’ her back, send a picture of one of your grandchildren each time she sends you one. If not, how about pictures of your dog, cat, budgie etc.

Your friend is just overdoing the ‘Grandma for the first time’ thing, it will settle down eventually.Don’t answer the phone for a while if you think it’s her, a text is easier to either ignore or respond to.
Just say ‘very nice’ in response to a photo.

A few weeks ago a friend became a grandmother for the first time. She’s besotted and forwards all the photos, videos etc.
It’s Ok, though I am a bit running out of things to say in reply and I confess to a sigh when the phone bongs again. She gets upset if I don’t respond and will text again or has even phoned to see if I’ve got the latest.

But now I have on my phone a mounted studio type photograph. Very nice.

Apparently I can purchase this for £25.?

.I think I should have put this in AIBU.
