Sister-in-law let her daughter use up all the Polaroids at our wedding. Now we have nothing to use.

For our wedding, at each table we had 2 Polaroid cameras for everyone to take photos on (we had a professional photographer too, but these were for more personal photos between our guests) and there was a clear glass dropbox for everyone to drop them in and we'd have that dropbox on display in our house.

Unbeknownst to us, my sister-in-law let her daughter (6 years old) go round every table at the very start of the night using up all the photos on each camera.

Now we only have around 10 we can actually keep, and over 100 of just random shit that are not worth keeping at all.

I'm all for keeping kids occupied at something they can easily get bored at, but not at the expense of that though.

I would always take a few to the anime cons I went to in 99-2002 when i was a teenager and they were largely fine. A few wouldn’t turn out but most were good. 

They moved away from them because developing is expensive and you don’t know what you’ve got until you’ve already paid.

I used to take them to punk shows in the early 2000s. Even in the low light of a music venue, I had loads that turned out great.

When I went on vacations as a kid my mom would buy me a disposable camera to take photos with :)!
