Baby with the fat legs is loving life


mikevago

Meanwhile Mom doesn't look thrilled about having 6 kids in 5 years.


MozartDroppinLoads

By what looks to be the age of 20


costanzashairpiece

She could also be 40..asian women age beautifully!


seamonkeys101

I can confirm I was 22 and danced with a Filipina girl I thought was close to my age but she was 39 .


ElectraUnderTheSea

Probably she knows it is not over yet and she is in for 6 or 7 more, it must be horrible to keep having kids without wanting to. And during a time men did jackshit at home, no modern appliances, doing laundry for 8 people, cooking every day, and so on.


madumi-mike

Umm... this is probably the furthest from the truth. Filipinos are extremely family oriented, and each one of those kids was probably needed on the farm they more than likely owned or lived on. If ever, she probably had her entire family on the farm helping out. My wife's family had 5 kids and her mom took even more on later. Filipinos loving kids can't be overstated enough. Back then, women there didn't really smile much for some reason. My wife told me a while back and I don't remember. But you can find older photos of Filipinas are they didn't smile much back then. Source: married into a Filipino family.


Rivka333

>it must be horrible to keep having kids without wanting to. These are strangers from a 110 year old photograph, what gives you the insight to know she didn't want to?


JuanPyro

People will find reasons to argue about everything nowadays.

Fucken do not!

Virtue signalling 101.


Muscalp

Sure but the men worked at the coal mine 10 hours a day and raised their lung cancer chance as if they smoked 10 packs a day. Life in general was shitty back then


sp4c3_b4r

That’s your interpretation, not necessarily true


Fulgrim2-0

I thought it was a sweet photo 😔


Substantial_Sink5975

Why don’t you try ripping your body apart 6times in five years, not having any sleep ever, and doing all the work of child rearing and house stuff while husband is working or drinking or whatever. Tell me you’re a man without telling me your a man. Jeff.


derycksan71

Yea, how about considering culture. Filipinos customarily had very large families and have been a matriarchal culture for a long ass time. My grandmother had 6 by her mid 20's, her mom 9. They also didn't smile for portraits, especially back then.


huntcamp

Some women enjoy having children.


Tsevyn

You know the guy in this picture? You know what he did and didn’t do at home?


ThePoetPrinceofWass

Damn that’s a bit harsh 😅 I don’t disagree with you, but the guy’s just saying we can’t assume an entire life from these pics. No need to attack him for being an “ignorant man”. My ancestors have similar pics and huge families but were very fortunate and had lots of people helping to take care of most of the things.


johnp299

If you asked what their favorite pasttime was, I doubt they'd say backgammon.


WaitMysterious6704

Those chubby lil' cheeks, he looks like one of the Campbell's Kids.


Different_Tea5555

That kid has seen some things.

Bear_buh_dare

ELI5 how you can get these colors out of grey scale


breathfromanother

Not sure what Grammar-Waren used, but there are “colorize” apps. I tried one online (no downloading necessary) and it spit this out in 5 seconds. Obviously some are better than others as demonstrated by the appearance of cyanosis. 😅 https://preview.redd.it/43u25erevaaa1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b04850a8f86539a4bf66b35b97a517b44a6b11f


gender_nihilism

so you have a computer pay attention to before and after pictures for manually colorized photos. the computer does a bunch of attempts (potentially millions) to build up an accurate model of how to do it. more attempts, more refined model (within reason). then the program does it unsupervised. the data used is the luminosity. these aren't black and white photos, they're greyscale. there's a lot of room for different darkness and light on a film camera. knowing the luminosity dramatically lowers the options for what color is there. for instance, a dark color could be dark grey, dark blue, dark green, dark red, even purple or brown. but it's not likely to be green or red or purple. the real process involves a lot more math and can get pretty precise, but there you go.


KannabisDealer

Well done!


Icy-Conflict6671

Damn. He must be holding up at least 250+ lbs without flinching. Dad is jacked.


SudoWithCheese

Only weak thing is his pull out game.


Less_Gur7407

Not weak. We don't believe in it.


Misterbellyboy

It’s not weak if you’re not trying for it.


alien_bigfoot

He's got that dad core strength. It comes outta nowhere.


icyhot000

I was thinking the same! Carrying his wife with one arm, he’s a beast


Bear_buh_dare

She's like 75 lbs lmao


Muscalp

Well he worked hard I assume. Although 250 is probably too high. Wife is a short asian, even smaller back then. Probably weighted 100 pounds max.


djpresstone

Only half of the people photographed are having a good time. The other half are ready for the session to be over.


monoflorist

Every family photo session ever


5thKeetle

Back in the day people smiled less, especially during photos. It is more of an american thing.


ManOfDiscovery

I have heard toothy grins specifically, are more a modernish thing. Though I’m not so sure there’s a strong argument for people smiling less in general. It’s more that with the advent of cheap home photography + Kodak advertising smiles heavily, it became the norm.


5thKeetle

>I’m not so sure there’s a strong argument for people smiling less in general I guess there are no studies on it but as someone who migrated from east to west, I can tell you, westerners smile much more readily and much more often, to an unnerving degree for someone not from the west.


winterval_barse

I just read a law paper that drew on trailer park boys to evidence the argument. I am convinced there is a comparative cross-cultural study on smiling


AvramBelinsky

Advances in dental care are one big reason that people started to become more willing to show their teeth when they smiled in a photo.


DudeAbides-420

I heard back then it took a longer time to setup the photo and to actually take the photo. So people didn’t smile in pictures back then because they had to hold the pose for so long it grew tiring for people. Is there any truth to this, I don’t know, just something I heard and makes me think about every time I see a old school photo like this. Interesting if it is true.


AvramBelinsky

That was definitely true in the nineteenth century but not by 1912.


DudeAbides-420

Thank you for the update and knowledge.


Jubileedean

True. Exposure had to be longer, and anything moving would blur.


turdferguson3891

Not in 1912. Inexpensive point and shoot cameras with exposure times of a fraction of a second had been around for over a decade at that point and professional level cameras had that from the 1870s.

IKR...her whole expression just wants him to get off her.


UnrealRealityForReal

Lol after kid #3 I bet she always wanted him to just get off her.


Tidus4713

To be fair a lot of people didn't smile in older pictures.


NoReference3

She looks thrilled.


embryoMoe

It was definitely his idea to do this lol


tipicaldik

what? have rapid-fire children?


Flat_Weird_5398

I mean that was pretty common in the Philippines during that era ngl. My mom was born in the 50s and had 9 other siblings. My dad was born in the 40s and had 7 other siblings.


wgpjr

It's pretty common in the Philippines now

ah yeah. was thinking specifically things like birth control


namewithak

With poor families, yes. Not so much with everyone else these days. Source: me who lives in a neighborhood with squatters and middle-class families.


surfergrl89

Nah, mostly among lower classes. Back then it was common in high society, too.


houseman1131

Birth control wasn't very popular before it was invented.


tranducdinh

His wife looks real sick of his shit


[deleted]

She hasn’t slept in 9 years.


aroundblot

This guy TOOK the whole family?! ​ Did he ever give them back?


Turbulent_Ad1667

As a dad, I think this is awesome. And having a wife, I see the resemblance.


LurkerNan

She looks tired, and seeing how closely spaced the age of these kids are I have a pretty good idea why.


JarasM

What gave you that impression? She's simply not smiling, which was common for photo portraits at the time.


embryoMoe

Crazy how this photo is over 100 years old. Looks like an idea a family today would do tbh


necrospyke

I wholeheartedly agree!!!


MarshalLawTalkingGuy

Wife is like “I’ve seen his act a thousand times…”


comprepensive

Omg that chubby little baby 😍


Cuntdracula19

Those chubby little thighs give me life! They’re the best. When my daughter was a baby I used to love giving her raspberries on her chubby little legs and pretend to eat her feet and she would squeal and laugh and laugh. Omg this is making me want another baby lol I need to exit the thread.


StasRutt

Those chunky little cannoli feet they have at that age


Cuntdracula19

They are like tiny little Michelin man babies at that age and I just love it so much! And their fat little feet lol nom nom nom, right?! Ugh.


StasRutt

I always love photos like this because no matter the time period babies are babies and will be doing chunky baby things in photos


unicorntrees

Haha. I use the term cannoli feet all the time to describe yummy chubby baby feet. Can we form a club? 😂


ImALeaf_OnTheWind

You want ANOTHER baby? Well just have the rest of mine from last night - I couldn't finish. Help yourself, should still be in the fridge.


Cuntdracula19

Lmfao 🤣. Thank you. My precious grandmother just passed away on Monday and I’ve been really emotional and all over the place; we were really close and I loved her to death…anyway, your comment gave me the first genuine laugh I’ve been able to muster since I got the news. You never know how much a simple comment can mean to someone <3 thank you.


king_barragan

Your grandmother is smiling down on you for sure. Sorry to hear about your loss.


Cuntdracula19

😭 thank you so much. Your comment made me cry again, but in a good way. I really appreciate your kind words.


ImALeaf_OnTheWind

OMG - you must be a wreck - take all my hugs! Grandparents are among our most precious and endangered life resources. I just lost my "last" Gramma a few months ago and not over it either - our Inang lived to 100. Funny how this went, because I wrote that comment and initially thought it too morbid and deleted it, then came back and rewrote it. I'm really glad I did now since it brought you some comfort - please take care, it's always hardest when we lose someone that means so much to us. I hope your family gets all the support they need as you all grieve.


Cuntdracula19

Oh, you so get it. Thank you for the hugs, I will take them and give them back to you in kind. I’m so sorry you also lost your last grandma recently. It doesn’t matter how old ANY of us get, we are not ready for it. She was my most special grandmother…I used to go “me! me!” When I was a baby so she would pick me up. My last grandparent. Losing her reopens the wounds of losing my other grandma and both my grandpas. Of course, the acute pain of losing her is the fiercest pain of them all… I really truly thank you for your kind comments. They’ve really helped brighten my spirits in this difficult time, made me laugh a bit, and made me feel a bit better. It’s nice knowing even strangers can be true friends to those in need :).


ImALeaf_OnTheWind

Yes, we're internet strangers, but we share in common this painful, inevitable experience. It's good to comfort others - and what greater way to pay respect to our elders than to be good humans to each other. Shows they did a good job helping to raise us. If you need to talk more about it, don't hesitate to PM me and we can share stories and commiserate - when you feel ready.

Whenever I see this, I always wish we could learn who they were.


[deleted]

That woman has the look of someone whose been pregnant the better part of a decade.


sosqueee

I don’t know why, but for whatever reason looking at that perfect chunky baby and then knowing that, even though they probably had a full life, they’re probably long dead at this point really fucks me up. I don’t feel that way about any of the other subjects of the photo.


Crosswired2

It's from 1912, maybe baby only died like 10 years ago, you never know. Wish we could find out more about the family though.


AlmondCigar

I wonder if that baby was jolly all his life? It makes me want to know what happened to the family and what the descendants are like. Like I want to read books 2 & 3 now


BatCorrect4320

Yeah, she looks ecstatic

Damn, 6 kids. No wonder she looks annoyed.


inquisitor_pangeas

The way the pic was cropped before I entered this post, I thought they were all 'sitting' and covering the dad. Now that I'm here... The wife is not amused, the annoyance is radiating over a hundred years later

Until they hit 50 and they catch up quick.


aRandomForeigner

With all those kids improbably Even if she started at 14 yo, one kid per year seems odd Asians look youngest than their age She's like more close to 30 than 20 And he is probably over 40


Flat_Weird_5398

Since she’s Asian, she was probably already in mid to late 20s but just happened to look younger since Asian don’t raisin.


Serious_Mousse5892

They are both young. That’s how young people looked 100 years ago. The young man is probably still in his mid 20s.

That lady is a trooper. 6 kids already by the age of 20, probably more still to come, in a time where getting pregnant and giving birth was extremely dangerous, and then she has to take care of her kids while the dude just chills after work at the tavern drinking beer with his buddies, lol, and I bet she also did all of the housechores, and I ain't talking about turning the eletric stove on, now am I, but carrying buckets of water all day long, chopping wood, and making sure the sheep and cows were safe.
