My PIL have mentioned several times over te past 8 weeks since their 2nd grandchild was born that they would love to have a canvas of the two children (my DD and new DN) to put on the wall.

With christmas coming thought this would be a great gift so sent a message to BIL and his fiancée to ask if we could get the kids together to do this for them. DH has a brilliant camera and is quite into photography so wouldn't cost them anything and wouldn't take long.

BIL sent a message straight back saying great idea, they'll love that, lets set it up.

3 hours later and she sends me a message saying 'Im going to have to say no to the picture'.

Weird???! Please tell me this is completely off because I'm not really sure what on earth I'm supposed to respond to that!

Thought so. So many people get professional pictures taken of their PFBs - or even pay for the thing where you get a package deal of one a month! Very few do it with their second or third DC Grin

And I'd bet her parents will be getting the same 'gift.'

Yes! And she's just slapped the little boy's face!!!

And it's their grandmother! I know pulling hair and slapping children is not funny, but it did make me ROFL a bit. Blush

Knew it was either petty or selfish. And just because this is a pfb doesn't make it any less so.

'ANG ABAAAAHT!

So she is having the photo done on 27 DEC? So they won't be unwrapping anything on Christmas Day?

Weird.

Jeeesus, sqoosh, did you get to page three, makes grandma's slapping and hairpulling heartwarming!
