[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My God - how difficult is it to understand that it was a picture with four generations of blood relatives - the people who gave birth to the next generation.  Great grandmother gave birth to grandmother; grandmother gave birth to mother; mother gave birth to daughter.

No one is saying that DIL's child isn't a blood relative - but no female in the picture gave birth to her.  OP is correct - the similar picture would be taken with DIL and her mother/grandmother.

My mother and I have taken similar pictures with my grandmother.  I am so thankful that my SIL (and my brother, for that matter) isn't a neurotic mess like the posters on this board.[/quote]

Again, some more--and, please, TRY to keep up--the problem isn't the actual picture, or the reasoning behind it. [b]It was OP's response[/b] that DIL should "go take a photo with YOUR mother," when she could have very easily said, "Can't wait to see Little Larla for Thanksgiving, and take some great photos then!"[/quote]

Let's be fair, the problem is DIL's overreaction.[/quote]

OK, let's say DIL overreacted. Sure. Fine. Whatever. It hardly matters. But then there was an opportunity--right then and there--for OP to make a connection and come from a place of grace and maturity. And what did she do? "Go take a photo with YOUR mother." SMDH[/quote]
