#2I must be extremely disconnected from this author's perception of the world (and their relationship with their daughter).
This quote at the very top of the article really grinds my gears: "Few things are more painful than loving a 15-year-old girl, particularly when she is your child."
The rest of the article isn't as catchy, but reads a lot like a very long (15-year) case of postpartum depression.

I must be extremely disconnected from your perception of what an insightful comment is, because this is just low and dumb and adds nothing.
Go be hateful somewhere else.

Yes, you are disconnected.
Do you/Did you have a 15-year-old daughter?

#5Millennials - the generation of photographers, because of smartphones and instagram.
Does anyone else get irritated when their friends feel obligated to whip out their phone to take pictures when you're out and about in new locations?

As one of those friends: I’m sorry I enjoy your company and want to cherish it as a good memory.

And worse is when it's the pictures are ultimately used to compete in the popularity contests of facebook & instagram :)

#8This seems mostly like a not-so-humblebrag about her daughter than anything else. Child of NYTimes editor and journalist in Brooklyn has 1000 followers on instagram. Real big news.

The last comment is quite rude and clearly unsubstantiated.
The writer speaks of missing the daughters childhood. That is not postpartum depression.
I see a mother respecting the boundaries a young person is experimenting with as she forms new relationships outside her parental ones. Something I expect is quite difficult as both parties make mistakes.
You speak as if you find human disconnect baffling. Perhaps you've had no trouble in your relationships, but I'm extremely disconnected from your apparent perspective that parental relationships with teenagers can't be a source of a lot of pain for all parties.

It depends on what you're taking pictures of. A lot of people seem to snap pictures of landscape, with or without other strangers in it. Those are the kind of pictures that aren't really durably interesting over the long haul. For well known places you can always find a pro who did a wonderful job capturing it. Now, if you're taking pictures of yourself and/or your friends, that makes perfect sense to me. As long as it doesn't get in the way of actually enjoying the experience.
