cheer me up please

Visited my mum and dad yesterday, and came away feeling fed up.
If you went by the photographs that are up in their living room, you would think that me and my family don't exist. There are several of my sister's family. Is it my fault because I don't give her pictures?

Also, they've told me that they've made my (younger) brother and sister executor and trustee of their wills. Would this bother other people, or am I just thin skinned?

Are you on the will?
If so happy days no paperwork and phone calls for you when they pop off

Not enough info to give an opinion.

Are the pictures of your sisters family sent by your sister? If yes then you would only have cause to be offended if you had sent pictures that weren't displayed.
How often do you visit/keep in touch? If your sister and brother are more involved with your parents lives then they would be more obvious choices for the role of executors.

My sister lives nearer to my parents than I do and inevitably she sees more of them. She has a much greater involvment in their day to day lives but with that comes a responsibility that I know I don't fully share. I am more inclined to feel guilty about this rather than put out.

If it is just the case that your siblings are closer in distance and see more of your parents then you either have to accept that or do something about it. If it is the case that they are actually leaving you slightly on the side-lines for no apparent reason then maybe you need to talk to them about how you feel.

Trust me not being executer of the will is a good thing. My mum wouldn't make me one as I am a bit flighty and forgetful and a tad lazy about paperwork LOL

Send your mum pics. The ones my mum has up are ones we have given her.

I wouldn't be too concerned tbh.
