    You can't control what she does.  Dink won't pay for any pictures (we have regular school pictures, sport pics, dance pics) but wants copies for himself and his family.  I will usually get a package that includes a disc, so he can then print off what he wants.  For dance/sports pics, I may give him an extra if I got a big package.

    BM1 refuses to give DH pics at all.  We have offered to pay - we have even gone through the school to order our own package.  She won't give us the code that comes with the school pictures to order to our own.  That's an option for you - once you get the Lifetouch package, there will be a code on there for re-orders, you can just send that to her. 

    My gosh, what a b!tch. I understand the "if you won't pay for it you don't get it" mentality but the "even though you're offering to pay you still can't have anything" mentality makes no sense to me...

    Wendi, considering what a complete tool Dink is, you are way too frigging nice!!  He can't be bothered to pretend to give a damn about the kids' activities, but he still wants photos to show off like he's involved somehow?!  Again, what a tool.

    The bolded is what I do with BD.  Between my family and my husband's family, we're already ordering a ton of photos as it is.  I refuse to pay more so that I can send some to BD.  Instead, I just send him the reorder info and if he wants photos he can order and pay for them himself.  For the record, in 7 years he's never ordered any photos.

    OP, I feel like if you gave BM all the picture info in advance and she chooses to not order any pictures, then you've done your part.  You're not obligated to pay for more pictures to accommodate her, especially since you already offered to pay the bulk of the package and let her "piggy-back" on the order with an add-on package.  I think it's time to just shake your head and move on.
