[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why hasn't your husband told his mother to stfu. I would refuse to go to the reunion of allow any of my kids there. I would have no contact with MIL. You can see other family members at different times. What kind of mother would tell her son and his wife that their 12 yr old kid is ugly and needs plastic surgery. Your family needs to opt out. You need to get therapy for your DD and probably therapy for you and your husband too to figure out how you can help DD and why you allowed a woman to attack DD for her whole life.[/quote]

He has told her to stop, as have his sister and BILs. She has some weird hangup about pictures - she never mentions DD's looks in any context except this one. She includes DD in any activities that involve all the other girl cousins and never says a word about her looks then. It's only around the yearly family portrait.  
We have talked about not going. However, it is the only time we get to see many of the family members (some of whom are in different countries) but more importantly DD wants to go. She has a fantastic week except for this three hour block of time. We've floated the idea of going on a different trip with just our immediate family by DD who always insists she wants to go. This is why we're stuck.[/quote]

In your very first post you said she cried hysterically last night because she doesn't want to go.  At best, you're a troll.  At worst, you're a terrible mother.  [/quote]

Yes, she doesn't want to go to the photo shoot. She wants to spend the week with family. DD is 12 - she gets dramatic, that's how many girls are at her age. So yes, she's blown not wanting to be in the picture up into not wanting to go on vacation at all. We are trying to parse out which parts are true feelings and which are dramatic statements.
