Would anyone else find this really annoying? Or am I being too much?

I would only see it as annoying/weird if pictures of your baby were being gifted to other family members that aren’t you or your husband. If they’re being gifted to you directly then I don’t really see it as a problem as it’s just something they think you’ll like. You can obviously not use the gifts or not have them on display etc if you don’t want to
@Saara there was one that was gifted to my husband. I seen it in both ways That it was a thoughtful gesture but also, it’s something that a spouse would gift another spouse. The recent gift wasn’t to me or my husband… it was to gifted to his family by another family member.
I agree if it’s just normal personalised gifts for baby I would find that cute.. but like you said the one on Father’s Day that’s something you should give to your spouse, so I would find that weird too.. but also not too deep coz they probs wanted to celebrate their family member being a father for the 1st time too, like even if the gift might be weird their gesture is innocent - get me
@Rahila I am very blessed Alhamdulilah Photos are allowed but heres an example You don’t gift any family members any kind personalized gift of your child but, someone else is gifting it to others & doesn’t ask for your consent … how would that make you feel? This relative gifted a gift that has a picture with my child and their child with the family members it’s been gifted to. Basically, ‘treating my child as their own’ cause neither parents were aware of it by signing the gift “ love, so and so”
@Sameera absolutely that’s why I seen it both ways but, this gift is rubbing me a little different because I would’ve liked to know that my child’s name/photo was going to be in a gift to another family member ya know? I’m the type of parent that would love to know what my child’s name/ photo is going to… I wouldn’t have said no but would’ve loved the permission as it is my child, not theirs.
I don’t know if I’m the problem now looking at everyone else’s response but yes sis it is weird. You should be annoyed because it’s exactly like you said - the gift to your husband should’ve been from you and the gifts to family with your child on it would typically also be from the actual parents of said child. To anyone not validating your feelings let me just simplify it- it’s like if this family member went to a wedding by themself and when it comes to gifting their card with money in it it’s signed off by them and OPs baby’s name. It’s weird end of. So why is it not weird when her child’s FACE is involved??? Anyways sis I’m just letting you know your feelings are totally valid and how you feel makes sense
I see I thought the gift was for you and ur husband, if it’s gifted to another family member with ur child’s face in it yes that’s a little weird
Do you not allow photographs of your child to be taken? In that case it’s a problem. Otherwise it’s not annoying, it’s actually really sweet. You’re lucky to have people in your life that love your baby like their own.
