    My wife has 3 more weeks before her 12 week maternity leave is up. I’m thinking about buying her a WiFi picture frame and having it set up in her office, loaded with baby pictures.

    I’m also afraid that’ll make her sad.

      If you’re worried it might make your wife sad, just talk to her about it! Some people like the reminders of kids at work, some don’t. My wife keeps a ton of photos on her phone, and cycle through her favorites as phone/lock screen backgrounds.

      The only thing I’ll warn about the WiFi photo frame is to make sure, however you set it up, it won’t ever see or show any pictures you take of your kid in the nude, bathtub, that sort of thing. Some people just set it up to their Google photos account and leave it at that, then get surprised with a funny-to-you picture of your kid being goofy in the bathtub that makes random strangers think you look at CSAM.

        I’m thinking I’ll buy it for it, and gift it to her at work, where she can choose to take it home.

        And good advice on Google photos thing. I’m planning to set it up ad hoc.
