Dear Abby: Snap-happy relatives expect us to display the dozens of photos they send

They send group photos, solo photos, ones with the children only and even pictures of their dogs! It’s overwhelming! They all live five to 10 miles away, and we see each other often. Even when we’re with them, they take selfies while we’re eating or watching TV. They even snap pictures of guests in mid-chew. I think it’s disrespectful. I usually walk away or cover my face, which upsets them.

It’s getting harder to be around these people. My husband and I have expressed our distaste for this, but they see it as “my problem.” I won’t even get into the Facebook issue. I unfriended them because they post pictures of themselves every five to 10 minutes. Help! — OVERLOADED IN NEW YORK
