You need to set up separate accounts. We have prime and my DH has his own account with access to my prime benefits. Hmm. We should. I didn't know you could do this. Yep, super easy to set up. It’s called amazon household. You can set up profiles for your kids too.

Oh my flamingo , she looks so sweet! I know that must sound weird but look at that little brace! I missed it, how did she fracture her leg? It was on Saturday afternoon...she and B were playing in the nursery--which is CARPETED, lol--and she fell and her leg kind of rolled under her at an awkward angle. DH and I were both in the room and heard it pop. :cringe: She was clearly in pain and wouldn't put weight on it, so I took her to the ER. They x-rayed and splinted it, and we met with Ortho today.

yummeecookee Team that-is-weird and I'd be ticked that she did it w/o permission. eta: It almost seems like she wants people to think they're her children? I don't know if that's the case--pure speculation on my part--but that's the vibe I'm getting from just seeing the card eta2: I just re-read and saw that your H veto'ed it and she did it anyway?! Wtf. eta3: and the fact that you were obviously on this group email? Like, Haha DIL...that is a bold move on her part. Do y'all normally have a decent relationship?

My MIL is a realtor. She sends out an e-Christmas card every year bc she has a very extensive network of ppl she deals with (so paper cards aren’t practical) So I just received the card and it has a pic of just her w my kids. I’m feeling really pissed about this. Am I being unreasonable..... I want to say something to her to let her know this is BS and not ok but I’m also in the heat of the moment. Tell me what you think before i shoot off a nasty email. I find it weird as well. Personally, I would probably ask MH to say something to her, however. And phrase it like, we love that you are so involved with our kids and love them so much, however, we would prefer you to not send out pictures of our kids to everyone in your address book without running it past us first, thanks! like flamingo, I am eta'ing b/c I read more and see there is more to this story... Yeah, I'd be pissed, she directly went against YH wishes. He needs to say something to her. Also, it's a weird photo to pick. I don't get it.

She did these portraits while mh and I were on vaca and my ILs watched our kids for us. Back then, I was hurt that she would arrange to have “family portraits” w out mh and I even there. I tried to look past it bc his bro and sis were also not included and she clearly just wanted to have pics w my kids. So I let it go. But this is just too far for me. I also totally get the vibe from this card that she wants to project that she is their mom. It’s really weird and it’s the stuff Lifetime movies are made of. I think we have an OK relationship. She sometimes inserts herself too much and I do try and turn the other cheek and look at it as she is the doting grandma. She is def the type who does whatever she wants and believes she can smooth it out or deal w repercussions later.

The office manager used the points from the firm credit card to give the main staff(there are 3 of us) each $50 amazon gift cards. Sweet!

Our company did something similar and got $25 gift cards to all kinds of places, Panera, Buffalo Wild Wings, Olive Garden, etc. One top of our bonus.

She looks great in that picture so maybe it was the best one of her all year and she was like, "eff it. I'm going for it even though it has the kids and they said no."

yummeecookee oh hell no! I’d be furious! It does look like she’s pretending to be their mom, but like others said, initially I would let Dh handle it.

I bet she liked how she looked in tbis one best. Odd that she'd set up a family photoshoot and include the kids but not anyone else though. Very odd.

Someone sent my Dad a Christmas card. Clearly they were close. 😒
I don't think we will be doing a card this year. I would be able to get in done in one day, but I'm just not in the mood. Maybe I'll just post a Cadence pic to fb, tag mh, say happy holidays and be done with it.

Thank you for the comments today about sharing Prime. DH had a last minute addition for the boys and I added him and let him pay for it. Woohoo!!
Also I had girls' night and I hit the wall super quickly and had to stop eating. I don't know what happened, but I felt so gross. Blergh.

yummeecookeeSounds like this was premeditated back to the photo shoot. She was probably planning all along to use a photo from that for her holiday card, regardless of how you guys felt. Shady as fuck.

I share my prime with my sisters and I have my best friend in my "household." Tim doesn't use it often enough to need it.

I still have a box I bought 2yrs ago

I only have 1 thing left on my 2yr project and I can't finish that until after the programmers return from holidays.
The rest of the day I spent dealing with an arogant neurosurgeon. I would tell him I could not give him access to something, he would email someone with less knowledge and demand they do it, that person would ask me, round and round. The most arogant surgeon of all is who I've worked with the last 5yrs he may push me but always shows respect. This guy was just sneaky and disrespectful.
