dh got a frame for his birthday where he can put loads of small photos of our family (we have 3 dc) in (about 10 or 12 i think!). he ordered a load of photos the other day which i didnt pay attention too but obviously most were of the dc but i did see myself in some.

so he shows me the finished frame just before - 2 of himself, the rest of the dc and not one of me!

AIBU to be so fecked off?

I dont blame you, I would take the frame down and put one of me and dcs in there, and ask him what the hell is he playing at, you are the childrens mother fgs.

DH has never understood the idea of having photos of yourself around Grin so if he did this I expect there would be none of either him or I! I wouldn't take it personally tbh.

Have you asked him why he hasn't put any of you in the frame?

canella · 22/10/2010 18:53

no phipps we're in the middle of putting the dc to bed and he's doing stories! i've come downstairs in such a huff that i couldnt even speak to him!

patriciaholm - if he had put none of himself in then i wouldnt have batted an eyelid but to find some of him and none of me really fecked me off!

He won't have even noticed that you're not in any.

You could go for the passive aggressive approach and take out the ones of him and replace them with pictures of you before he finishes the story.

Men are clueless. They don't realise how important things like this are to us. I love photos and always try and keep it equal when doing things like this.

Its no point getting too carried away, I think you are over reacting slightly. I doubt very much it was done maliciously, he probably didn't think at all. Tell him you are going to take a couple out and change them to photos with you in.

I wouldn't have let DH do something like this on his own, would have been a recipe for disaster. Wink

Get him a bigger, posher frame with a HUGE pic of you in it, or a collage with love hearts - make that his only christmas present.
