What to do?

Hi all,
Not sure how to approach next-
DH's brother got married recently- I was 8 months pregnant- so only attended for a few hours with my two other DC.
As soon as I and DC walk in- had all of DH's family assault us with taking a million pictures of us.
As I didn't take any due to watching over my DC and DH being busy- I swapped numbers with DH's relative so she could then forward pictures to me afterwards.
I waited a few days for her to do- but nothing.
I text her to do so- first she came out with excuses- saying haven't had a chance etc etc
Then completely blanking my messages.
It's now been a couple of months and still nothing- no contact. (Yet she regularly checks my snap story).
I am really angry with myself for allowing them access to my children and giving permission for them to take pictures- and foolishly thinking they would be shared back with me.
I have no pictures of me and my DC and DH from the wedding.
It is really upsetting and I don't know what to do now?

No stupid comments.

Suggestion

  1. Follow this relative.. in stealth mode... take his or her pics .... blackmail her...

I'd fascinated to know what it is about OP and her children that means that, when they turn up at a wedding, the guests spend several hours surrounding them and taking photos.

Maybe the photos are terrible and she's sparing your feelings or maybe she's going to sell them to OK.

Your choice of words are a bit Hmm... Were they paparazzi? Are you a celebrity?

SticksOutLikeDogsBalls · 05/09/2017 09:34

Maybe the relative decided the same thing that most of us have..... you are fucking hard work!

What would you do next after trying to contact someone numerous times to get the pictures that they promised to share back with you and haven't

Nothing. There is nothing you can do. You just have to accept that those pictures may have been lost or deleted.

Wow I must not be a real person either because I don't see what the massive deal is. It would have been nice to have those photos. Get your DH to ask for them but if you don't get them you don't get them.

You can't tell people not to post on your thread just because you think their contribution is "useless".

Also very Confused about the photo assault. I must be really unphotogenic as I've never had a photo assault. I can live in hope I guess.

I'm a real person, I have two young children aged 3 and 2. The two year old lived in hospital for the first 8 months of her life, the first three months were waiting on a new heart. I still think you are batshit and probably enititled and attention seeking, whilst also using your child being unwell as an excuse to get on the way you are months after the event. Move on, if you were really more focused on your child this wouldn't have been posted..
