Today, my grandfather sent everyone in my family an email thanking them for the photo we got him. I'd bought the frame, edited the picture, and delivered it to him. All everyone else did was show up and complain while the picture was being taken. I'm the only one who didn't get a thank you email. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I sent my grandfather a picture of me because he hasn't seen me in years. I guess I should wear makeup next time, because he sent back a heavily photoshopped and cropped version and told me how beautiful I look. FML
Today, my grandpa took the family out for dinner and paid for everyone. He paid the bill and my family and I were waiting by the door. I realised I probably should thank him for dinner. I turned around without thinking and give him a big hug, and said, "Thanks for dinner Grandpa." It wasn't my grandpa. FML
Today, I proudly gave my grandma a picture I had drawn for her. She didn't seem thrilled with it, and afterwards the rest of my family seemed upset. Nobody could fathom why I drew grandma a picture of a graveyard for her 85th birthday. It was suppose to be a bridge. FML
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 grandpa sent me a letter apologizing for not congratulating me about my graduation last spring. Too bad I don't graduate until May. FML
Today, I received a package at work. Thinking it was something I ordered, I opened it in front of my coworkers. It was a gift from my grandmother: a giant pink, “I Love My Grandson” T-shirt. The worst part? They insisted I put it on and take a picture to send to her. FML
Today, my mother-in-law proudly posted a photo of “all three” of her grandsons on Facebook. She has four. Somehow my son was forgotten, even though we live close by and see her regularly. I guess we’re not memorable. FML
Today, I texted a friend offering my condolences over the death of his grandfather. He hadn't been told his grandfather had died yet. FML
Today, when I visited my grandmother at her nursing home, I was looking at pictures she had of all the grandkids. All were normal graduation pictures etc. but mine was a cutout where she made me skinnier. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Picture's worth a thousand words, OP. Send him one of a pretty birdie.

I think the reason OP is upset is because he/she was excluded. It's not about recognition or receiving anything in return, it's the fact that the person mainly responsible for the photo wasn't included in the thank yous. Which is kinda ****** up.

You said you delivered it, so you more than likely were thanked by him personally at that time. Why would he feel the need to inflate your ego by gushing in an email to you as well?

You delivered it? Surely you got the thanks in person and the email was because he didn't see everyone?

I imagine he would have thanked you when you dropped it off? He obviously assumed everyone else had played an equal part in it and due to there absence he obviously felt he needed to thank them too hence the email.

At least you did a nice job and you grandpa loved it, go op!! Maybe your grandpa's going to give you some extra credit afterwards.

Send him a picture of a dirty old ****, because that's what he is.

In all likelihood, he probably thanked you when you gave it to him. Probably even gave you a hug....significantly more personal than a blanket e-mail. Get over yourself & be happy he enjoys the photo....isn't that why you did it I'm the first place???

I know it's difficult. But just don't say anything. Be merciful and gracious, and you will be rewarded I promise you. :(

Since you delivered it.. He already thanked you in person?

I'm just impressed he can email. Hahaha. Perhaps, just as he was about to put your email address in amongst the others a) he had an episode of Alzheimer's, b) his backed up colon decided to move or c) he popped a boredom stiffy for the first time in seven years and would rather have spent the time with Granny and not sending emails to whiney, self righteous grandchildren?
