Is it odd to not want any family photos on display?

I know it was - sorry if that wasn't clear .

Since when was love for one's children measured by how many photos of them are on display?

That was my point Doodledog
Totally absurd!

I have a few dotted around, some old favourites and some new. I find it comforting to pass a pic of my mum and dad as I go upstairs. I don’t really print many off now and don’t do albums anymore!

I have a few, but not large, and not in the living room.
I have one frame in the kitchen where the GC's school photos go, and my sister gave me a collage of our family when I turned 50, which I keep in my office at home.

Hallway has a few of past generations, where I can admire my husband's grandmother's shoes (from the 30's), and my Great Grandmother's hat at my Grandmother's wedding. I never knew any of them personally.

I never had anynon display until we moved into our present house, but here I have used family photos as a decor item in one room.

Scribbles Maybe it depends on how much you like your family and want to be reminded of them?

Or maybe you remember your loved ones so acutely that you don't need to be reminded! 😂

Good grief!

I don’t t think it’s odd at all, it’s just your choice. I do have photos (small) out but mostly not in the “public areas”. That’s just my choice. ☺️

Yes we have rolling photos on Alexa too Kitty and on the mantel piece I have a couple of pictures of the grandchildren and one of my grandparents.

In hall/living-dining room, I've photos of both my parents as toddlers with their parents, 2 very old formal photos of one pair of great-parents, half a dozen of DGD, and 2 x 6-photo-frame of various family members. Oh and pencil sketches of DD, DS as child and DGD.

DD did me a 6-photo-frame of all the cats we've had - does that count?

Personally, I'd regard photos on display as just "clutter" to be dusted and, therefore, I don't have them.
Plenty of pics in albums both real and digital of people and events that I cherish.

Just 2 older framed photos of DH and myself with our DCs when tiny then as teenagers.And one of us a couple.I have done a photo montage of favourite holidays in the spare bedroom the adult DCs if they stay.I am going to do one of our parents and aunts no longer with us. But that's it.We have shutters so our windowsills are narrow. I don't like too much 'stuff' in general. Lots in albums however and on my ipad.My late SIL had so many photos all over her walls that some were even duplicates.Tbh I found it a bit oppressive but they obviously brought her joy so each to their own.

Who is Theresa!!
Obs my fat fingers.

I’ve limited my photographs to my study. Most are of my DGSs, with pics of both DDs weddings. Theresa’s a couple of pics of my late DH, a favourite of his was shaking hands with the late Queen. I hate having my photograph taken, but I have a picture of our wedding on the windowsill.
I know if and when I sell the house, all the photographs will be put out of sight.

Am I the only person who has rolling photos on Alexa? I have 2 Alexa Shows - 1 by the side of the bed and one in the kitchen on a shelf above my main cooking area.

I don't have many on display but I notice I'm in very few of our pics. I had to make an effort with my more recently married son as his wife kept examining the couple I have up. I got the hint and now have one of their wedding on show!

Is it odd not to want family photos on display? No, we have none. It's down to each person to do as they wish with photos.

It's up to the individual.

We receive framed school photographs of the grandchildren every year so we always have up to date ones on show. We also have many earlier versions in boxes in the spare bedroom.

We also have 3x DC wedding photographs and our wedding photograph on display in the dining room. Also small photo graphs of our parents, and a four generation one with my great grandma, grandma, mum and me aged about 2. I have that close to me on a side table.

I have been instructed to remove graduation photos by my adult DC but I'm not going to.

I have a large collage of photos in the entrance hall, mainly of the grandchildren. Another large frame ready for newer photos of the GC. I have wedding photos of my 2 sons and their wives. Unfortunately, daughter’s marriage didn’t last, so that is not on display. I love photos, snapshots of moments in time. 🥰

It's not odd, no.

I'm the same.

I have a unit and several silver framed photos on it of my family in the dining room. I've not changed the photos as I really like them. Have loads of photo albums

we don't have a lot of photos out either

Thanks Kandinsky.
I have just realised I have one other (passport sized) photo of that particular smile. It was taken when he was 21. It is not on show.

I am lucky to still have him and to sometimes see that smile in real life.

Like other posters I have none on display but an album of old photos, mostly of my grndmother and her sisters. My favorite is of my grandparents in the uniform and ball gown which they wore when presented to the Viceroy of India back in the days when Britain had an empire. I have a lovely photograph of my great grandmother in her court presentation gown from the 1890s.

It's just a matter of personal choice, as in many things in life. We are all different.
