why does she do this?

Gana's picture

My MIL still have pictures in a frame which is like a college of pictures from all her kids with pictures of wives and husbands and kids and ALSO my husband and his ex and the kids. There is also a picture of him and her from when they got engaged. I don't understand it. My husband has told his mother several times to change out the pictures but she says when she gets around to it. This really bothers me. She said she was part of the family but caused grief throughout the family so I don't understand it at all. Should he say something again? It's been over 4 years since they been divorced and the pictures are still there. Should I get upset? Do I say something?

to this suggestion, but I would probably count the number of pictures in the collage that you want to replace. Then I would bring that amount of picture of you and your DH/family, etc. I might ALSO bring another collage frame that would hold the pictures you are taking out. Then I would sweetly say something like, "I know you probably meant to get around to this but just haven't found the time so I decided to help. (Take the frame and begin removing pictures.) I brought these pictures to replace these. Would you like me to put these others in this frame and put it in your bedroom, or would you just like me to box these away for you?" Smile
