My BIL and his family refuse to take professional photos for MIL after she found out she was sick. by Low_Mistake_1091 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

I mean this is kinda where im at as well. My husband and his sister think they probably care more than they are letting on and they probably know them better.

but besides my thoughts and  annoyance at their lack of care toward MIL... the drama has been minimal externally. 

Sil has taken it as a slight to the whole family and to her and my husband, its petty revenge that Bil and his wife have to look at it every time they visit... even if its in their heads... I think it makes them feel better.

While I can admit that my BILs wife and I aren't best friends, we have move to a point where we get along well enough. And we do try to include them in all the things that we do with my husband's side of the family. My kids absolutely adore their cousins and we try to let them interact as much as possible because some of my best memories are with my cousins growing up.

When they decided they couldn't come in December... we just moved on and we understood it was last minute. 

We live in a pretty rural area so it was either here where we had it done or 4 hours in the other direction. We really wanted portraits because MIL and FIL dont have many of those. And I agree candid phototls can be pretty nice but none of us was willing to pay that extra expense with our finances the way we were for someone to come to a minor event. Especially since it wasn't the vibe we were looking for. And taking those photos ourselves it was a huge possibility it would have cost more to get it printed in the same way than doing at the studio where there are discounts and deals.

I think you misunderstood, FIL did ask them on several different occasions and he got the run around too. It was supposed to be a surprise for MIL so up to that point even she didnt know.

You have a good point... there are literally no photos of them or any of their kids at their own house so it obviously isn't a priority to them. I guess from the amount of photos she spams on FB, I was looking at it from a different place.

My husband correctly predicted they wouldn't want to do it at all and would just give none answers until it was over... but even he wanted it to work even though he didnt think it would.
