Is it normal that i think my friends are stupid for their maternity pics?

I think maternity pictures are a stupid waste of money.

And no, I am not trolling. My friends, most of whom are my age (20) are knocked up (in some cases, again), and even though they complain that they are so broke, they are going out and getting professional photographers to take pictures of their "OMG BABY BUMP OMG OMG".

As if I wasn't totally convinced that my friends are idiots. They were pretty cool people before they got knocked up, but we were never close anyway. I think the whole "Show off your Baby Bump!" concept is stupid to begin with, but that's just me.

Is it normal that I think that my friends are stupid for getting maternity pictures?

    Normal. The money they pissed away on the professional photographer could have been used to buy stuff for the unborn child.

    I've never heard of that before. I guess times are hard and photographers are looking to create any new market they possibly can.

      Not sure if you know what Wal Mart is but they offer pregnancy photo packages.
      Great for trolling your kids during their teen years. When they are old enough to have facebooks, tag them in the photos and let the lulz ensue.
      Take a video of the birth too and play it at their birthday parties. Great way to prevent teen pregnancy, in my opinion.

        Apparently they do it here in England. There are no pictures (at all) of my mother pregnant with me (suspicious, eh?) but, in retrospect, I think I'd like to see them. I've seen her diaries entries from when she was pregnant and her first entry on my birthday (when I was two hours old). It's kind of nice. I think I'm over my initial weird reaction to this.

        I knew it was you as soon as I started reading.

        Show off your baby bump contest, haha. Thank you Hollywood.

          It seems that half of my complaint stories on this site stem from observations of my friends. You know me too well.
          I need new friends.

            People come in and out of our lives, new friends, old friends etc.

            Just keep them at a distance as much as possible and you will be fine. Eye on the ball.

    This does sound stupid. If they don't have money why spend it on a photo shoot? Instead, they should save their money and try to work! It's so pointless!

    i think it shows a pride in being pregnant, the child will know that mother was happy to display it

    So they want a picture of themselves while pregnant. What's the big deal? You're being pretty judgemental. Its their business - not yours.

    Agree with OP. That sounds like an idiotic idea. Especially spending money for a professional photographer for that.
