ok ladies actually laughed about this with my husban but find it odd!!!

Bit of back round me and dh together for 11 years .. 5 children together.

Before me and dh met he was with someone for 6 months she fell pregnant with his now teenage daughter. They were on and off for the best part of 6 months she was with another partner through her pregnancy.

Anywho things are very sival we all chit chat when need to arrange seeing husbands daughter, and generally just all get on.

Dh's parents are well just really hard to get on with his mum just grunts at us all, she actually said (whilst drunk) that she only bothers with our children as she feels she has too ( as know one asked her if she wanted to be a grandparent)

We basically just get on with seeing them as dh wants to keep the relationship he has with his father, so we go over couple times a month!!

Last week we went over and well in there lounge there is pictures of dh's ex ad her husband in there lounge about 3 of them, and on the wall there are pictures of all her children (from her current partner) plastered everywhere!! And in one frame names "family" there is all of them in it.

Now I by no means have te right to say who she can have pictures of in her house at all, but really considering there isn't any of our children who are her grandchildren in her house, abs we have gown them loads!!

Me and dh laughed about it but the more I think about it I find it odd!!

Leave her to it and don't let it bother you.

Part of me thinks that she is doing it to make the girl feel at home, but she sounds as though she is over doing it.

Do you send her framed pictures of your family? Maybe your dh's ex sends them to her.

My MIL has loads more pictures of SIL's kids in her house, but that's because SIL gives them to her every time she takes a nice photo and so MIL displays them. I occasionally post her an unframed print or email her a photo of my kids, but that requires her to make a bit more effort!

Yes, it's very odd.

Birdsgottafly · 13/03/2012 13:36

Re-reading your post, yes she is odd.

Chubfuddler · 13/03/2012 13:37

The photos probably were given by the ex.

TheCunningStunt · 13/03/2012 13:42

Odd

Give her a framed piki of you all and c if she displays it.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 13/03/2012 14:15

She sounds bOnkers! Most odd.

I know it is a bit different but my grandparents have a picture of me with my mum and dad in their lounge. Must be a bit strange for my DF's wife of 3 years! I do not think they have even given it any thought to be honest. I would do as thebody recommends, give them a nice framed picture of all of you. They will be delighted

I agree I think maybe the ex gave them pictures of the kids .. But her sled and husband?? That in it's self is odd ha ha.

We have recently had twins so we have given gem loads and loads of pictured of kids all together also when we got married 8 years ago pictures in frames but they were taken down.

Also she has a picture in the dinning room of my husband and ex .. Just bonkers .. I should properly take the hint that I'm not overly wanted in the family!!

Dh was told also there all going on holiday togethe too Confused

Maybe I find it strange because my family are very close and dh isn't?!

Oh yes agree to let them get on with it, put up with worse in the past, just wanted to see "outsiders" point of view or to see if maybe I was being a bit silly
