I'm sorry :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932923 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:46:21 +0000 Adira 1932923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Skadi: I do agree that it seems like it would've just been easier to find a picture that was just of LO, but maybe that particular one was too cute for him to resist?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932911 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:43:08 +0000 Skadi 1932911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the input, guys. This makes me feel a lot better. I know I wouldn't want a picture of my fil on my desk either...then again, I think the appropriate thing would have been for him to find one of the many pictures of LO by herself. But as some of you have said, it was probably an act of cutting LO "in" rather than me out. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932891 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:34:59 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1932891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He probably thought it would be a little odd to have a picture of his DIL on his desk that didn't include his own son. I wouldn't read too much into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932887 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:33:41 +0000 blackbird 1932887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like you're just not his #1 favorite person and he doesn't want to look at your photo all day? I don't have photos of anyone other than DH and E at my desk! I probably wouldn't want to stare at my MIL...... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932882 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:29:28 +0000 Adira 1932882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: I agree. </p> <p>I think it would be weirder if he had a picture of just you and LO and your DH wasn't in the picture OR he cut you out of a picture of the three of you. My guess is it's a cute picture of your LO and he wanted to use it to show your LO off! It's probably more he cut out a picture of your LO to use rather than cutting YOU out of the picture, if that makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932869 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:26:18 +0000 Skadi 1932869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: It's okay, I guess. Kind of strained. I've had to fight tooth and nail to become accepted as part of the family--FIL and MIL tried talking DH put of marrying me on my wedding day right in front of me and my horrified parents to give you an idea of past struggles. We aren't antagonistic or anything...things have improved...I just still feel like an outsider and this raised my hackles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932868 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:24:55 +0000 Rockies11 1932868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah, I think he could think it's creepy to have a pic of his DIL and grandbaby. I would be offended if he cut me out of a family pic, but I think I would be more weirded out if FIL had a pic of just me and LO on his desk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932866 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:24:47 +0000 3littlebees 1932866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I understand feeling hurt by being cut out of a picture, but it would be really weird if my FIL had a picture of me on his desk at work. Maybe you can give him another picture of your LO? One where she was by herself and no one had to be cut out?</p> <p>ETA: At least you weren't cut out of a picture that your in-laws have at home. That would be unforgivable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932864 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:24:08 +0000 Bao 1932864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would be more weird if there were a picture of me on my FIL's desk...I would probably think it was weird overall but wouldn't be upset. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932863 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:23:22 +0000 mauxie 1932863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he wants a photo of LO by himself, why can't he just ask for a solo photo?? Or a photo of the three of you. </p> <p>I would feel weird if FIL had a photo of just me and LO on his desk. Our relationship is awkward haha. </p> <p>But I do see how cutting you out of the pic could be hurtful. Maybe your DH can stop by and just jest saying hey how could you cut out my wife?! Here take this pic instead... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932861 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:22:29 +0000 Skadi 1932861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsrain: It isn't in a frame. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932860 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:22:21 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1932860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really think that's a big deal. I think it would be more odd to have a picture of his DIL and granddaughter on his desk without your DH in it. That would lead to people who don't know him well wondering if you're his wife and daughter or child and granddaughter or what. Now, if it were a picture of you, DH, and LO and he cut you out but left the other two, that would offend me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932857 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:21:50 +0000 looch 1932857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How is your relationship? I admit, it kind of sounds like your relationship isn't the best if he cut you out of the picture...I dunno, maybe I am reading too much into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932852 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:20:51 +0000 mrsrain 1932852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe he just cut it to fit in the frame better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932846 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:19:07 +0000 sorrycharlie 1932846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ehhh I can sorta see being hurt depending on my mood, but I also would probably feel weird if FIL had me on his desk, lol. It wouldn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932842 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:18:38 +0000 LBee 1932842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know. I think that sounds really weird, but I suppose I see your DH's point. </p> <p>My level of offense would depend on my relationship with FIL. If it was strained or negative, I would obviously take it more personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cut-out-of-the-picture#post-1932835 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:17:04 +0000 Skadi 1932835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped by FILs office the other day, and I noticed there was a picture of my LO on his desk that he has presumably been showing off to people. </p> <p>That's great, except that I recognize the picture in question and it has obviously been cut with a pair of kitchen scissors so that I am no longer in it (it's now just LO, whom I was holding). </p> <p>DH thinks I'm being overly sensitive. But I'm really upset. I feel hurt and angry. Should I say something? If so, what? Or do you think it's naturals he'd want to just show off his grandbaby by herself and I shouldn't feel offended? </p>
