To want to text my SiL and tell her….

[Jensonz]

That posting horrendously bad photos of me on social media doesn’t make her look any better! I don’t know what my SiL’s deal is but almost every time we get together she always manages to take the most unflattering pictures of me and then pairs them on Instagram/Facebook. We had her and my nieces over the other night and my dh took some lovely photos of us all. I took (by accident) some not so flattering photos and chose not to upload them to Facebook as my SiL wouldn’t be happy with how she looks. She’s very pretty don’t get me wrong but I’m crap at taking photos and the angles weren’t flattering at all. I just wish my SiL had the same consideration. My dh thinks she has self esteem issues and does it on purpose. I mean would you be annoyed to see photos of yourself in your pjs with your hair scragged back in some really unflattering poses on Facebook or AIBU?

Oh it’s just photos of me on my own in really unflattering positions. For example one was of me stretching my arms upwards and yawning. It was like almost midnight and I’d got into my pjs to feel more comfortable and she randomly took photos without me realising.

Honestly, if she was my fb friend, I would be judging her for posting that. I’m not interested in seeing someone’s relative yawning in their pjs….but if you’ve been somewhere interesting or done something fun etc then I’ll have a glance, admire and move on. I would be questioning her self esteem too if she did it regularly.

My BIL posts pics of his partner in the bath/having private moments etc and she has no idea as she’s not on fb. I judge him to be a huge twat on this basis and I used to tell him to take the pics down/report them…eventually I unfollowed him.

Put a bad photo of her under it and say are we competing for the most unflattering photo
Keep doing it. Take lots of bad photos of her so you have a ready collection
