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

Maybe they just wanted a blood related family photo?

At least they don't verbally assault you with insults and threaten you like my monster of a sister in law does. :/ sorry they're really rude though. Next time, suggest multiple takes with different generations and branches of family. We have over 150 people in only a few generations in my family so that's how we usually handle it. That way there's options for everyone to get the picture they want - and no one has to be cut out if someone is divorced later on.

Okay. That's not nice. But I really have to know: Who was the other?

Pro photographer here. My camera and I were invited to my brother-in-law's for Christmas. I don't mind working for food, but when I arrived at the prescribed time, I discovered everyone had already eaten and the leftovers had been thrown out. My brother-in-law's father posed the group for the photo and left me out. Some people just aren't worth your time.

Who's the other one?

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.

Don't feel bad, I married in to an Asian Family and it took me 15 years to be included in a family portrait even though they loved me. It was just their way, strange to me but I was happy and still am ! Good luck to you....

I'm sorry OP.. That's horrible. I was included in my boyfriends family's family Christmas photos, I felt really happy. He is my first boyfriend (first kiss too) and his mom likes me a lot :) it makes me feel extra special knowing that she hated his ex :)
