WWYD - MIL and Album related (**UPDATED**)

Original post by geegee827

Sorry this is going to be long -

DH and I finally did our albums last week. I just got the list of pictures MIL wants for her album today (a week late, but )

MIL kept saying she didn't 'need' an album and it was really 'not necessary.' Only when DH toldher repeatedly that we had already paid for it, did she say 'ok - I guess I'll have to look at the pictures'

Anyway, I look at the pictures and out of 24 shots, there is not one picture of DH by himself, there are 3 pictures of DH and I alone, and 2 of DH and I with his family.

Here's the kicker - there are 7 (YES 7) pictures of SIL either alone or with just her DH. Is it me or is this strange? Seriously, looking at the album you would think it was her wedding except she was wearing a brown dresss. I don't give a rat's a$$ that there are more pics of SIL than me in her album, but I know DH is going to be upset that there more pictures of her than him.

DH wants to see what pictures his mother picked tonight when we get home. I know he's going to be a little bit hurt. Do I 'switch' some of her photos before I send them to the photographer or do I let the album stand?

I thought about sending MIL an email saying the photographer wanted to know if she wanted a picture of her son alone on his wedding day, but I don't know.

Part of me doesn't want to 'fix' it to make it easier for DH because he should see what the ILs are really like, but I hate to see him upset especially when his parents do cr@p like this to him.

WWYD?

**Update: I avoided showing DH the pictures for as long as I could last night. When I finally did, he said 'I'm glad she got a lot of pictures of everyone but me' The look on his face just kind of broke my heart. Then he called her and told her that he was hurt by it - her response 'you really made too much of a big deal about the whole wedding' DH just hung up on her and told me that I'm not to order her an album at all - give it to my dad instead. I feel so bad for him.

I sure hope SIL will be the one taking MIL in when she's too old and needs someone to take care of her....




Agreed 100%.

I've already told DH (and he agrees) that the only way MIL will come to live with us is in a lovely decorative urn.

But ONLY in a lovely decorative urn.. because if the urn isn't pretty... it's getting kicked to the curb!

I think I hate your MIL. With that being said, I'm glad you are giving an album to a person that would want one.
