Why does it feel like SS12 purposely tries to ruin ANY photo he is in...ever? I was super excited that picture day was on one of our days this year so I could force SS to wear decent clothes and get school pictures. DS5 Got his school pictures on Monday and he is just too stinkin cute. So I have asked SS every day if his pictures came in, he kept saying no. Then yesterday he said that only his mom's package came in. I was annoyed and decided I would call the photographer. I asked to see the picture anyway because it would be the same picture. I looked at it and it was the package I paid for. It clearly said Opt A. BM always buys the cheapest package which is like D or E.

He wore the shirt I told him to wear but he has BMs sourpus look on his face. I feel bad but I totally don't want the pictures. I don't want to look at that expression. But I made such a big deal out of it I feel like I have to put the picture up next to DS's picture.

So you're definitely not going to put SS in the picture for your holiday cards? How does your husband feel about that?

SD has issues with pictures too. BM always has a scowl on her face in pictures I've seen of her, and this is what SD does too. So it's not that she acts up while having pictures taken, but she just looks miserable. And if I encourage her to smile, it ends up being the silliest, most fake smile ever.

No I wish. They said if we are unhappy with the pictures they will retake them for free...does that count? I thought about having DH talk to him before having them retake them so I can get something decent out of him. It just pisses me off. DH was pretty pissed too. He always looks miserable. I take them to portrait innovations every year and it takes hours to get the pics done because SS won't cooperate. DH keeps telling him "dude, if you just do it, it'll be over. If you keep fighting it its going to take forever."

Well, yeah, but then she'd be the evil SM. Best is to glue some red wax lips on the picture. Or at least draw in a smile or a moustache or something.

SS used to do this in every family pic. DH got tired of it when we had not pics of him. So now, on vacations we take the picture and he squeezes him and tells him if you don't smile, it is your DS or whatever he is using at the time for the day. He now smiles and knows DH is serious.

SD22 used to run people over to get in any picture that was being taken when she was younger. She would seriously be RUNNING to try to get in the shot before it was taken. Big huge cheesy grin in every picture. She loves herself so much. Now that she's older, it's non stop selfies on fb all day long, every day. Sometimes her face, sometimes her belly.

My SS ruins EVERY. SINGLE. Photo taken of him by insisting on making some stupid face he thinks is funny or cute. If I try to get any family pics he puts on a pout if he isnt the center of attention. Its sooooo annoying!
