BG: Last year at xmas my LO was 4 mos. FIL had a friend that he worked with that dressed up as Santa & he asked if we wanted to have him over at FIL & MIL house to do pics. Sure! (DH had to work that day so we just did LOs.) MIL & I both took pics. We both had the same crappy cameras. I edited my pic and it was just what I wanted! I was going to have pics printed and pass out but MIL took it upon herself to pass out her crappy version and gave me "leltovers" for my side. Needless to say, my side of the family got MY PIC :) It still made me angry she even did this. She had no right! She knew I was going to print them!
Ok...FF to now:
FIL has asked this year if he needs to get his friend to come by for pics. I told DH around Th-giving that I didnt want to do that this year. He said ok. I told FIL last week "No, we are going somewhere to have them done". This week he asked same question. DH says yeah you could have him over when we do our xmas get together...wtf? We get into a big fight on the way home. He said he wants to do a family pic along with a pic of just LO and santa. Whats wrong with us going somewhere and doing that?? I remind him what his mother did last year with pics. He took up for her and said well she wanted to share pics of her granddaughter.(He also knew I wanted to print mine and hand them out from US last year.) I feel like I should stand my ground on this since she overstepped before in the same situation. He is very persistent. Am I over reacting?
