Family Picture From Hell
My husbands father wanted a family picture taken for easter. So everyone showed up. Now last Christmas I was having all this stupid trouble with my husbands sister Rhonda. She had a baby and she's kind of uppity anyways but was full force during the holiday season. We had made up, she apologised and very thing was good until Sunday...
There we all were getting set up for the family picture. Dad was in the middle with Rhondas 6 month old baby and then the daughters Rhonda and Carol sat beside the dad. My mother in law and my husband standing up behind the dad. The photographer took a few pictures. Now I'm totally used to having all of them take a "family" picture with just them BUT this time it was decided that perhaps I sit this one out seeing how the new baby takes up the other space and he is after all the center of attention..that was what Rhonda told me. She took me aside so that my husband didn't hear and said that. She went back to the photographer and he took a few more. I was in the kitchen getting a glass of wine and my husband comes in looking mad. Says what happened, I explained what was told to me. As anyone can imagine my husband had a big problem with that. He went up to Rhonda said what a horrible thing to say to me his wife and said no more pictures until I'm in them. Again Rhonda was flapping her mouth saying there isn't room and that I'm only the sister in law this is her family. My in laws then stepped in saying that that was wrong of her to say but then asked me if I was completely upset that I wasn't in the picture. I was on my third glass of their wine and said " Honestly I don't give a f **k about not being in this photo. It's just proof that I belong to this effed up family anyways" The other sister Carol laughed at that and said ya I know what you mean. My husband then had enough and we left. I asked him if that hurt his feelings what I said. He said nope, it's true they are effed up.
Then we went home and took some family pictures of our own wink wink.
