Awhile back I posted about odd MIL behavior at Easter.....I just vented really and let others comment on what they thought about it. Well we were back over her home last weekend to take her out to eat....and my H comments on how there are so many photos of his brother's children and a new grandbaby. She looked abit stunned (as she for some reason never puts our kids photos out that we give her.... she has 2 of our sons HS graduation photo's which we bought frames for when we gave them to her).....looking around the room there is at least 20 photos out but the 2 we gave her are never on display. Funny also she says things like "send me photos....I don't have any!" yet she does but for some reason puts them away. Over the yrs I have given her photos of the boys but once again they are not out...it feels odd to stand there in her home with tons of photos of the other grandkids and not any of our kids.
After my H said this which came out of nowhere....I wasn't even thinking about it....to me it's a moot point. His mom says....she didn't have time to put their graduation photos back out as she had put them away for Easter at her home. WHAT? why put the only 2 recent photos you have of your other grandsons away when the entire family is coming over for Easter? everyone could have seen those photos? Really it's just 2 photos is all and she could leave all her other ones out of the other children....it seems like the oddest behavior....and I am positive when we go back in a few weeks for her B-day to take her out she will still have them stuffed in some drawer somewhere....wonder if my H will comment again? LOL.....I haven't said BOO to him or her and don't plan too.
BUT our 3rd son is graduating next yr....so his photos will be taken late this summer.....ladies do I still give her one of him too (so she can stuff it in a drawer?)? I am thinking there is no point to be honest. I could see if she put just the one photo of each of our boys out and all the others are of the other grandkids (which are all older then my boys are) fine....but why tell your son you had to put away the photos for a family holiday but leave OUT all the other photos? sorry it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever......just like the Easter behavior toward my 24cookies we brought....it's all ODD IMO.
Just wondering if I should still give her a photo of the next boy's graduation coming up....seems silly to bother but generally I just do what appears to be "normal" and ignor what others do....most likely I'll put it in a beautiful frame and give it to her.....if I don't put it in a frame then she says it's not put out cause she doesn't have a frame....so I always put them in frames due to her comments but she still puts them in a drawer somewhere. Odd.
