Okay. Question. (related to EXinlaws, sort of)

I will take DS's 3 year pics, and order copies, wallets, enlargements, etc.

 

What is my etiquette here?  Do I just give the EX a copy of all of pictures and make it his responsibility to make copies for his family?   

We are civil, by no means friendly, but I don't feel like I need to foot the bill for pictures for him, and his entire family.    (Well, let me be honest, I would probably give EXMIL some because she watches DS everyday and we have an AMAZING relationship.  She is not with EXFIL.) 

 

Thoughts? 

ETA:  I will take the pics.  I am by no means a professional, but, I can pull some mediocre shots out.

  • I wouldn't even give ex copies -- maybe I'd tell him if there's an online ordering site but that's as far as I'd go. 

    Exmil should probably get some pics since you like her and see her often- maybe in a mother's day card?

    I would just email the pictures to everyone.  Then, they can choose to print them at Walgreens (etc), home, or just have them on their computer.  That's what I do.  :)

  • I agree with Dandelion, I wouldn't even give the ex any pics. If he wants them, he can have them taken.

    I would give exMIL some though, especially since you are friendly with her.

     

  • Unless you want to create some hard feelings, I wouldn't just email them if their professional portraits. What my DH's ex does is to give DH the copies and let him distribute them to his family. It just seems like there's "bad blood" if you just let them take care of it themselves. Snapshots, yeah, no big deal, but with school pictures, even, just order for them.

  • Could you create a seperate account at snapfish (or the site of your choice)?  Use that account simply for sharing photos with DH's family--don't upload anything with you in it to that account.  That way, they don't gain a view into your life.  Then you've shared the pics of L and it will be up to them to decide wehether to print pics or not.

    That is a fantastic idea!

  • I wouldn't give ex any!  I haven't given my ex of Nathan, he hasn't asked for them either. 

    If your friendly with him mom, I'd give her some.
