Would you throw pictures of you and your ex away if you had kids together?

I did not throw away the pictures of the ex, but rather gave the pictures of him in them that had one of our children with him in them. It is good for the kids not to throw pictures of their other parent away. The other parent is just as important as you are.

absolutely not. I am not with my ex. It was a very bitter breakup and still....get rid of pics? It wasn't all horrible. It was what I wanted at the time and it didn't work out. My girls deserve the pics of their dad and happier times in our lives. Even if he was a dad that had nothing to do with the kids...the kids deserve the pics. I really can't understand the kind of thinking that would cause someone to do something like that. She is lucky to have you in her life. Sounds as if mom has a few issues.

I still have my ex husbands pictures. I also had a few of his kids from his second wife. I kept a hold of them to give them to him before we divorced. I know we didn't work out but at the same time I don't hold anger to him and I will not tear the pictures of us apart either.

I wont especially that case you were asked by the child to keep it. That is very touching, and I feel for her, I know no matter how painful for sure for them the break up of the parents at least she has some souvenir in the future for her. I also appreciate the way you are, strong and very caring too for them, They are very lucky to have you also as their mom since you have the heart that is truly genuine! Keep it up!

My first husband was abusive to me. I don't have any pictures of him and I have no regrets. The pictures I did have, I put them in a scrapbook and gave them to our son, who's an adult now. There is no need for me to have pictures since it just reminds me of really bad times. I think that is sweet of you to keep the picture for the kids. I don't think anyone has the right to take those kind of memories away and the mom was clearly in the wrong.

I wouldnt throw them away I would save them for my son. I cant stand my boyfriends ex but there son has pics of them together in his room. I have no choice but to deal with it if I want to be with him. Heck he even has there wedding photo book which he is saving for his son he says sitting in our book shelve. I have to say that makes me a little ill. Thats a new question what to do with wedding photos?

I took all of the photos with just my ex with the kids and gave them to him. I kept all of the ones with me and the kids together. The ones from our wedding and a few others are at my mom's house. Neither one of us wanted them, but we wanted to keep them for when our children are older. Thankfully my ex and I get along.

Why throw.. yes the relationship did not work but it doesnt mean you have to throw those memories that you had.. maybe you are not interested to look at it in a second glance of sweet yesterday but your kids will enjoy and love that so keep it. It doesnt hurt that much

I have 2 children with my ex husband, while I don't display the pictures in my home, my kids do have a few pics of us in there room. I packed all of the family photos of us together and placed them in containers so that they can have them when they get there own places. I totally object to getting rid of them. It is a part of history. Whether a good one or not.

I would, and have kept the photo's in a box in my closet for when the children grow up. I think children should know that no matter what all happened afterward they were concieved in love, that is very important.

I would like to keep the pictures for the children's sake, I mean my parents are divorced but my mum still has pictures of us when we were younger. Im 26 now, they spilt up when I was 12, both my parents have re-married. Whereas my dad would probably thrown them away as when he was clearing his house out to move in with my step-mum, he wanted to throw out our baby clothes but my mum wanted them so she has them now. I think my dad wanted to start afresh with his wife. It doesnt bother my mum when we look at pictures from the past. I enjoy looking at the pictures especially seeing my dad with hair, and all my mum's funky hairdos!! I think its great that you offered to look afetr the photo and have copied them so that both children will have one each.

My personal opinion is no. And this is from my own experience. My daughter's father divorced me many years ago. I was so upset at the time. I did want to throw away all of those pictures especially those of our wedding. But I put my big girl panties on and pack them all up for my daughter. She is soon to be 16 and does so enjoy seeing her dad and me together back then. We have been divorced over 12 years. I know his current wife does not like for my daughter to have those pictures but I feel they are part of her past as well.

I am going through a divorce right now. I have 3 children with my husband and a stepdaughter. When me and my husband got together there were pictures of him, his ex and my step daughter. I just got an album and put them together to give to her one day. But now that I'm going through this divorce with him, I think I will give him all the pictures of us and let him save them for the girls, rather than me destroying them. I figure every other aspect of our lives together I have to take care of, he could at least keep the pictures in safe keeping for the kids. That shouldn't be too much of a responsibility, I wouldn't think!!!!

Ok this ones for me for sure, I didn't know my "mom" for the first 18 years of my life. I had NEVER seen ANY pics of her all that time. I had ALWAYS wanted to know what my "mom" looked like. I wanted to know if I looked like her and just what she looked like and I had never seen any pics of my her and my dads wedding no pics of my dad from before I was born cause they were all of them together. My step mom who I call my mom gave all the pics to my grandma to hold on to, Last year may 4th my dad past away, My grandma just sent me the pics I actually got them 2 weeks ago. when I opened the box and pulled out the pics my daughters were sitting with me I started balling. It made me SO happy to see the pics of my dad and her getting married and them together even though it didn't last it was still a part of my dads life and my life. It was important to me weather it was important to him or my mom at all. I think keeping at least some pictures is very important. My daughters dad doesn't see them ever and hes a deadbeat. never calls or anything. But I will never throw pictures of him and the girls together because I know in the future those will be an important part of there lives weather they like him or not. Cause I hate my biological mother she is the person that I say How could I have come from her??? but its still nice to see that part of my life. I think its great that you are keeping the pics for her that's basically what my mom did she had my grandma take them to keep them safe.

I think it is wonderful you did that for her. I believe that no matter what we feel about the other parent we should remember that they are the parent of our children and the children will want that when they get older. I gave my oldest daughter not only pictures of her father but also pictures from her birth, his and my wedding anything that would show her that when she was born we were so very happy. I think it is important to for them to know that just because it didn't work out they were a wonderful part of what we did share once.

For me, I would not throw them away. I want to let my kids know how their father and I were before. I do want them to think that we do have some good and fun times together. It is a memory and though things may have been different from what it was before, it is still part of what is it now. So, I will keep all the pictures and show them to my kid. I know my child would be happy for it.

i think i will not throw it. yes, it is a remembrance no matter what happen, this is part of of your life. you cannot thraw away the past even you throw the picture, so t is better to keep them

I agree with miss Susan because usually family want to warm relation and have koherntion relation betwen part off family like mother with her grandfahter want to look together

I never throw pictures away,cause they are the signs of mu life.When I'm old,I can see them.

Well, I don't know about you but i wouldn't. I would place it in one box with all my memories and things from past
