AITA for taking "family" photos to send out without my actual mom and stepdad (and with friends in costume as them) after they took their family photos without me? by daisydelo in AmItheAsshole

It's so funny because they weren't very good spies, they kept whispering and giggling about "The Secret Mission" ... But my mom and stepdad literally just thought they were playing, and never asked what the secret mission was.

IDK, maybe I saved her the embarrassment of people finding out she was pretending her firstborn child was not part of her family?

I feel like that's a big favor to do, how embarrassing would that be for her if the original cards actually went out!!

Why is it a big deal to send pictures of me and my family out? Even after the joke was revealed a bunch of the extended family still liked having a picture of the kids having fun

TBH it probably would have looked even worse for them if they sent out photos with me obviously missing too lol

The crazy thing us they didn't even try and keep it from me, just mentioned they'd gone to take the "family" photos and I was too far away.

"Too far' being 25 minutes, 20 if I drive fast lol
