Today, I spent the holiday with my husband's big family. They suggested we take a family picture, but two people were purposely left out of it. I was one of them. FML

Today, my cousins cropped me out of a picture of all six of us at a wedding, then captioned it, "We have such a good-looking family!" FML
Today, I realized how little my husband, son and I mean to my in-laws. We were somehow left off the distribution list for my sister-in-law's birthday party. I even texted her to wish her well. It wouldn't be so bad if this wasn't the fifth consecutive family event we were left out of. FML
Today, my family returned from a holiday in Egypt. A holiday that I really wanted to spend with them. As if leaving me behind wasn't bad enough, they then made me watch a 200-picture slideshow of how much fun they had. FML
Today, I spent Thanksgiving alone. I'm not close to my family, I'm the black sheep but my sister said she would come over. To my surprise, she ended up going to my family's', where I'm not wanted. My boyfriend went to his family's, so I spent the whole day alone. He'd even took my dog. FML
Today, my mother not only told me that my ex-husband will be spending Thanksgiving with her and my dad, but that I'm also no longer invited to spend the holiday with my family. FML
Today, after I continued repairs on the home of a hoarder family member, guess which one of us wasn't invited to the family dinner… FML
Today, I went to work during Black Friday, after not being invited to my family's Thanksgiving dinner. FML
Today, my parents invited all their kids and grandkids to join them on a vacation trip to the mountains; all their kids except me, that is. I'm not invited. But they did invite my ex-husband. And his new girlfriend. FML
Today, my whole family made an hour-long drive to a restaurant that's just a few minutes away from my place. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, none of my family was at home. Turns out my one of my aunts was having a birthday party and all my relatives went, but nobody told me because they don’t like me coming around. FML

Hmm, nice idea. As #23 said, make all the papers for Secret Santa your name so everyone gives presents to you instead.

I thought it normal about spouses left out like my mom get left out on my dad side to take the pictures than my dad take it on her side both from big family along with different spouses I don't get this one

thats not normal, whatsoever. a family photo includes your serious partners. if its someone you've been with for a couple months or isnt serious, they can be left out.

It's strange OP was left out. Like whenever my family has special occasions (weddings, bar mitzvah, etc) we always make sure we get some of the photos without boyfriends, girlfriends, etc. It's really weird and kind of rude to leave a wife out.

For our family photo each holiday, everyone related and every bf or gf is in the photo, irregardless whether they know our family or not. And to be honest I thought that was the norm, so people being left out is bizarre to me.

Absolutely not normal. When they did siblings and stuff sure. But not in an entire family shot.

The wife becomes the husband's family when they are married, so it's not normal to leave her out of a "family shot".

Put us out of our misery OP, who was the second? The cat?
wow2mylife 25
the dog? come on op

OP here- I put who the second person was, but I guess they cut that part out. It was my husbands cousins on-again-off-again baby daddy/boyfriend who got her pregnant in a bar bathroom the very first time they met. I seriously wish I was joking. Sorry for the suspense! Lol

This reminds me of that Malcolm in the Middle episode where Hal's family intentionally left Lois out of the family picture.
