mothers-in-laws and chopped wedding photographs.

10-22-2006, 04:55 PM

What would motivate a mother-in-law to chop the bride off the wedding photographs ?

ivan_fox · 10-22-2006, 05:42 PM

hatred, jealousy perhaps.
A monster-in-law?

poor bride. It is better if she and her husband have a house of their own.

Elspode · 10-22-2006, 06:03 PM

What would motivate her to do that and then let you know about it?

Yes , I think the bride was expected to know about it , Elspode . She walks into the sitting room and automatically looks at all the photos that have always been there . You know the scene , we are talking about glass cases . And yes , she has been chopped off her own wedding photograph . The truncated photograph has been carefully put back into its frame , and then back into the glass case .
What next ?

I think you need more information . Bride= wife . The recently chopped-off bride has been married to the groom in the photograph for eighteen years .

I think that's a question you need to ask the bride, or the MIL, unless the bride or MIL is you? Then, I think you should already know the answer to that.

There's a "your mom" comment here, somewhere...

Mental problems?
Anger management issues?

...takes a pretty sick puppy to cut someone out of photos and then re-DISPLAY them. Obviously, they WANT to be asked. I don't think I'd want to hear the reply.

I imagine it to be starkly symbolic, IE "I cut you out of this picture becasue you cut me out of your life" (translation: you're blocking my attempts to interfere with your personal business, which I percieve as being on the other side of a differently-placed boundary system from an earlier generation)

I can't think of anything that is *good* being behind this action, that's for certain.

We'll all feel bad when we find out she chopped the pic so it could be part of a hand-made birthday present!

It's rather a sick thing to do unless it's buddug's mother-in-law in which case it's totally understandable.

That's kind of what I was thinking ...

Bruce and Limey say that it is perfectly understandable 'if it is 'Buddug's mother-in -law' .

Why do you say that , Bruce and Limey ?

I can't speak for Bruce, but you do get on my nerves and I'd understand it if you got on your mother-in-law's nerves too, so I'd understand if she removed you from the photos but kept the pictures of her son. I was being flippant in a cruel way (or cruel in a flippant way). On a more serious note, I also agree with Hoof-Hearted that the fact that the photos are diplayed like that means that the mother-in-law wants to be asked about it. Does the bride/wife have the gumption to ask her mother-in-law what's up?
As with all posts asking for an interpretation of a third party's actions - the only way to find out is to ask the third party. Even they might not understand why they do what they do, of course.
