[quote=Anonymous]I have been with my husband for 12 years married for 2. Before we were married, every time they did the "family" pics they would have one with just the "married" part of the family  - so naturally my son and I stepped to the side. These photos that were taken I took OFF work to do on several occassions. Not 1 photo that was chosen to be proudly displayed had my son or me in them - including the the "grandchildren" photo. So why was I there? I have no clue. if they don't want me in their photos why would I want them in mine?

After we were married they secretly had a professional photo session for the "grandchildren" I found out after the fact and my son (whom they've known since he was 5) was never asked to attend.

Now this year, as with every year, they do a "friends and family" calendar - I am not going to bother submitting our photos.

They have been this way since we came into the "family" 
I started noticing this about 4 years into the relationship - and DH said it was normal - I thought it would change based on being "married" - even my DSD says it hasn't, but yet DH or DSD won't step up to defend. It's like I'm making a bigger deal out of it than it really is. I have just gotten to the point where IDGAF, and they can't understand why. 
So my question is how do I politely decline the invitation to submit photos for the calendar. I thought about taking some with masks on or of the back of my head or acting like I have completely gotten wasted,  and telling them those are the best ones I have. Just for giggles.[/quote]
