AIBU to feel hurt after my stepdaughter was edited out?

So I’ve just been on a big family holiday with my mum, brother, his partner, their kids, my sister and her family and me, my partner, my kids and my step daughter. On the holiday we did a number of family photos as due to distance we do not get together very often. One of the family photos was my mum with all the grandchildren, including my step daughter (who been in my life for 11 years, since she was 4). I’ve just discovered my sister and mum have edited the photo to remove my step daughter from it and then my mum posted it online. Am I unreasonable to be incredibly hurt by this?

Awful of them.
As a grandparent I consider it my job to grandparent the children my children present me with as 'theirs' whether they gave birth to them or not. I only have my role because of the families they created and its not up to me accept or reject the children they include.

You can consider it your job. It's a bit much to consider it other people's job that you don't know.
