A woman, new to her job, expressed frustration on Reddit about her coworker who continually shows her baby photos. Despite initially being supportive, she finds the repetitive nature of these photos uninteresting. Her discomfort is compounded by a previous discussion about parenthood, leading her to question the coworker's motives. She seeks advice on how to politely decline further displays of these images without damaging their relationship or compromising her own comfort in the corporate setting.
While of course, I'm happy for her and her family, and was more than happy to look at the first few photos and congratulate her, I am, quite frankly, over it. It has been weeks of her showing me pictures of her baby doing nothing remarkable, with very little difference in the pictures.
I don't want to make assumptions, but part of me wonders if this is in relation to an argument we had a few weeks ago in which I stated I would never have children and she told me I just 'needed a little convincing.'
Is this her trying to 'sell me' the idea of motherhood, and if not, is there a way I can politely tell her that I'm not interested, nor do I care about seeing any more pictures of her baby?
This is the best response. She's either genuinely interested in OP as a person and so will genuinely enjoy seeing what they have to share, or she won't want the hassle of having to look at someone else's photos in exchange for being able.
