Sorry, but HELL NO

My mother-in-law likes to take a family photo every year to send out with Christmas cards. As one of her sons is now a photographer, we usually take the picture some weekend when everyone is together. This year, we did it over the summer at their lake house (I know, I know) and it was the biggest damn mess ever. My parents had come with us that weekend and it was supposed to be a nice, relaxing time. Wrong.

IT TOOK THREE FUCKING HOURS TO TAKE ONE DAMN PHOTO. My parents, meanwhile, were stuck in the house, completely forgotten and neglected. RUDE.

I get an email this morning from her saying that she wants to take a picture again on Thanksgiving because, “We can do better.”

FUCK NO.

I am hosting Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is being done at MY HOUSE with both our families together. Thanksgiving is NOT getting hijacked for three more hours while we try and take this stupid picture we already have.

Now, I just have to try and convince my husband to tell her NO. Cos it is NOT HAPPENING. And if she insists, I won’t be in it. Have fun. See ya later.
