Would you be upset if your boyfriend kept pictures of his baby’s mother displayed in his house?

Question

I know I’m being jealous but I just need someone else to tell me lol. 
Backstory:
 (we’ve only been dating for 11 months & officially bf/gf 6 months) My boyfriend use to live with the mother of his 7 year old child in his current house. They bought it together but she moved out after breaking up with him because according to him she hated that he smokes weed. Obviously he was upset, didn’t want to lose his family, even hired a psychic 😪 to try to get them back together. Obviously didn’t work. 1.5 years after the breakup we meet (0.5 after the psychic 🙄 which bothers me as well). 
The situation:
On his refrigerator in his house there are tons of magnetic pictures that the baby’s mother had printed out & put up (I don’t see him doing something like that). Half of the pictures are just of the mom & his son & there’s one of the mom pregnant. I asked him about it when we first started dating & he says it’s for his son. Ok. It’s just every time I’m at his house, in his kitchen, cooking, I just see her & think about their life here. I also do know his son likes seeing them because there was one time where I was watching him & he started picking pictures & telling me his memories of the picture 😭 
ugh I feel like I’m putting my insecurities on him but idk. 
Extra information:
Also when we first started dating the first time I went to his house he still had a lot of her things there, in the closet, in the bathroom. He said she just didn’t think it was important to take and he doesn’t pay attention to it which I know because he doesn’t notice a lot of things right in his face. Also he still has pictures of them on his Instagram/Facebook. I guess it’s because of the son they share. I just know that myself would have deleted & removed everything. That’s how I move on but I guess it’s not the same when there’s a child involved? Idk I’ve been helping him clean/decorate his house in quarantine so we put her things together & he’ll be giving it to her at some point. 
Me trying to not sound like a bitch:
I’ve met his baby’s mother because sometimes I watch their son & she’s very nice & I have absolutely nothing against her. I just don’t like seeing her/her things in my boyfriend’s house 😟 
am I making something out of nothing? 
Is this normal things when you date someone with a child from a previous relationship?

Answer

I think you’ll just have to be ok with her being around. They share a child. Their child should be able to see pictures of her at his dad’s house.  And as for social media, who cares. He’s with you isn’t he?

Answer

He’s got a picture of his child’s mum at his house where he has his child who they share together , how is that strange? 
In fact that’s amazing and well done him!

Answer

I think in this case it would be best to get over it. You've only been boyfriend & girlfriend for 6 months, so the relationship is still very fresh. I dont think any of this is wrong. Of course there was still some stuff there of hers, she used to live there too. As long as he didn't make a big deal of keeping it I dont see the issue. As for the magnets, that wouldn't bother me either because they have a son together. Those are his son's memories too. And the fact that you get along with the mother is great too. Its not like either of you have something against each other. It just sounds like jealousy on your part (which is pretty normal) so I would just work on that

Answer

He sounds like a great dad and you dont sound mature enough to date someone with a family already.

Answer

Okay so my sons dad and I aren’t together but I have pictures of him in my house. I have a huge hand drawn one of him and our son. My son asked me to hang the pictures in the living room. I think it gives him comfort that his dad can still be there without being there

Answer

It's comforting for the child. I work in childcare and we ask each family to bring in a photo for their child to be able to look at while they're apart. So if he's doing it for that reason I wouldn't have an issue.

Answer

I can say from personal experience please don't make a big deal out of the pictures. My parents divorced before I was even a year old so I literally have zero memories of them together . My grandma (dad's mom) had pictures of my mom and dad together and family pictures of them and my brothers hanging in her house as well as him with his current wife and my half sisters mom, at one point my grandma had given me a picture if my mom to hang in my room since I had just moved to live with my dad and missed her ( my mom lives in Ohio, my dad lives in west Virginia) and had given me a picture of my mom and dad together. The picture of them together I kept put away but the picture of my mom I had tacked to my headboard, brandy (dad's wife)  would go in my room everyday and turn in around so you couldn't see it and went through my room and found the picture of my mom and dad together she threw a big fit about the pictures I had and the ones my grandma had hanging up she said it was disrespectful to her but she failed to understand that to us kids it was nice to see those things, and it was before she ever met my dad she was mad about pictures taken in the past family memories were making her jealous when my mom and dad never spoke or seen each other unless it had to do with their kids. It's pictures if it was pictures of them kissing all on each other I'd ask for those to be removed cause yea that's kinda rude to have in your face everyday but pictures of her and their son and family pictures it's wrong to ask them to be taken down that's his sons family memories he shouldn't have to hide them away, especially when you know his son enjoys having them to look at and remember.

Answer

I think he wasn’t ready to date again, and you shouldn’t date someone with a child. Neither of you are right or wrong, just not the right time

Answer

You’re just going to have to either learn to get over it or find someone who doesn’t already have kids with another woman. It sounds like she’s a very nice lady and since she’s the mother to his son, she’s not going away. 
My parents were divorced but my dad kept a few pictures hanging up of my mom, too. He also has some photos of girlfriends he’d had since their divorce because I’m in the photos, too. Like, there’s a photo that was always hung up on the wall of our living room that’s of me, my dad, his ex-girlfriend, and her daughter. It’s not like he was going to cut his ex and her daughter out of a perfectly nice photo just because they broke up. 🤷🏻‍♀️ My mom also has pictures and home videos that include my dad. 
I personally think you’re being a little overly sensitive about it, but if it’s bothering you enough to be a dealbreaker, then it’s probably best to leave the relationship altogether and work on your jealousy and find someone who doesn’t have kids with another woman already. Dating a parent who’s partner left (or who left their partner) means you’re going to have to interact and see pictures of them. They’re going to always be in each other’s lives.

Answer

They were together for at least 5 years and have a child together and you've been dating him for a handful of months. I get why you're feeling jealous, but she was and always will be a major part of his life where you have just stepped in. Obviously they're not getting back together, but you can't blame the guy/his family for hoping for a while that they would. If I were you, I'd try to find a way to make peace with it- he sounds like a good father who is trying to stay civil with his child's mother while trying to move on with his life with you.
