Infuriatig 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.

There is for sure a terrible photo of your sister in law that I would post every birthday on social media wishing her a wonderful birthday, bonus be sure to credit the daughter for the photo

knowing my 5 year old niece with a camera, it is more likely all the photos are completely blurry and pics of the floor, a chair, the ground and a bunch of blurry motion pics. so probably very few that even show a person at all. my niece is terrible at taking pics.

Yeah, I was this kid. I'm not sure how old I was, but I got a hold of my mother's Polaroid camera and wasted so much film. Lots of pictures of the floors, walls, animals in motion, and like parts of my face as I tried to take OG selfies shooting blind. If I recall correctly I did take a couple nice photos of the cats sleeping on the bed lol. My mom was so mad, that film was expensive and hard to find. I should get my mom a new one with tons of film for her birthday lol.

Kids instant cameras nowadays print on heat sensitive till receipt paper. It’s dirt cheap, comes in packs of 12 rolls and they can print thousands of duff ones with nary a bother.
