To be a little bit annoyed with my sister

[goodiegoodieyumyum]

On Sunday I went on to Moonpig to create a birthday card for nephew, I found one I thought he would like it is a spoof magazine with Australian Footballers on the front and needs for me to upload to photos. As he loves Aussie Rules I think he would love the card.

I skyped my sister and asked her if she could send me some photos, I needed two and could one of them be of my nephew in his football jumper. She said she would do it that night and would probably have to take a photo of him. I told that so long as I got it by the middle of the week that would be fine.

I recieved an email from my BIL with a tiny photo on it of my nephew in his basketball top, I could not download it so emailed back I couldn't use it He sent another back wich I could download to my computer.

Am I being unreasonable to think it would have taken a minute for my nephew to put his jumper on and take a photo, and another to download and email to me or is it too much to expect.

I have been in trouble in the past for not sending cards, live in a country where it is hard to get birthday cards in English which is why I normally use moonpig.

The most recent phots of my niece and nephew are nearly two years old and are ones we took when they visited us last, my sister never sends us photos

This is about an awful lot more than your sister not having time to download a photo. So can now see why you are annoyed.

Pandemoniaa as I said I did not see it from her perspective, now I do. She lives in Australia not me

We skype each other at least every three weeks, but it would be nice to have an updated photo of my niece and nephew, pretty sure when I had DS who is 7 months I would not have been very popular twith her if I hadn't sent photos,she also looks at the ones I post on facebook.

She also expects that we spend most of our two weeks in Australia this year with her and her children, doesn`t understand that I would like my children to have some one to one time with their grand parents even though they may never have the chance to again.

You want her to do the work !! Take a picture of her child !! OK maybe like OP I could upload photo in seconds and realise some people do not use a camera often etc so may not know where is etc. But she could have made the effirt for her Sister I believe. And she not wanting a family portait just a snap shot of a kids in his footie stuff !!
