Total Votes: 26
we went and got DS's pictures done. I just wanted DS done. he's only had 2 photo sessions, 3 weeks and 6 months. he's almost 16 months.
the girl wanted to do a family shot. I didn't want to, my hair is a mess, no makeup and totally unprepared for a photo and if were going to pay for a photo, I want to atleast look nice kwim?
well DH has since, thrown a fit about it because we bought a collage framed that has 3 pictures in it. i did not like the family pictures. I look horrible. so I refused to put it in the collage. DH is saying I undermined him and disregarded his feelings. I apologized but I stuck to my guns. I refuse to hang a picture on our wall that everyone will see, where I look horrific in and even suggested going back, prepared, and getting a family picture done. he didn't like that idea. because we would be spending even more money. even know it'd only be $8 for a shot.
I went back and tried to cancel the order because I don't want to sit here and get bitched about over pictures inside of walmart. she said we can't cancel the order but she would order the family picture for free for us. but it doesn't matter to DH, it's aside the point.
heres my point: I went there to get photos of DS and only DS. I do want a family portrait but I do not want one that is unprepared and "spur the moment" if were paying for it, I want to look nice in the photo, especially if it's going to be hanging in my living room for the world to see. I don't mean to disregard his feelings, hence the suggestions to go get a session done.
his point: we have a family photo that is stashed away, were it was overbuffed and only he is smiling in it, DD looks like she seen a ghost and it doesn't help with the overbuffing, were porcolin (spelling?) white. so he feels we need a family photo and it shouldn't matter if I look horrible in it because he liked it. we got a one-pose package of DS that he helped pick the photo for and it was $8 and the framed colleage I asked for input and since I didn't want the family picture in it, he said "get what you want" so he didn't get to choose those pictures. so I picked 3 pictures and he only picked one. I disregarded his feelings and underminded him when I didn't want the family picture. he doesn't want to spend the extra $8 on another set of pictures of all 3 of us. even though the manager is giving us the family picture for free, I still disregarded his feelings.
so without further adieu, heres the photo. tell me what you think.
Quoting PinkParadox:
You should be happy that he wants to happily display his family, just the way they are. Also, the picture looks fine.
I honestly think you all look great, but if you aren't comfortable with it, then don't put it up!!! He says you are disregarding HIS feelings, but it actually seems to be him disregarding YOUR feelings.
Quoting Braydens_Mama11:
I am. And thats why i suggested going back when we all look photo-ready

Quoting CoeyG:You do know you can put other pictures in those kinds of frames than just the ones at this sitting right? And the fqmily photo above looks fine to me. But I wouldn't pay $25 for a frame anyway, I have a friend who would make one for a 12 pack.
Too young for "the talk"????
When was your due date and when did you give birth?
