Christmas pictures

I know this sounds petty but I am feeling hurt. DH is going away and wanted me to unload the memory card in our camera so it is clear.

As I did this, I noticed he took 2 pictures at our house for xmas - both of the tree. When he went to SD's family xmas there were at least 50 pictures taken, It was ridiculous and over the top.

This makes me feel like our BS and I are not important and he doesn't care about us. Why does this bother me so much and am I being silly?

Never mind if you are being silly; it's your feelings are you are entitled to them. If it was me, I would try not to think so much about it, but it would sting as well. If you feel strongly about it, why not sit down and have a conversation with your SO?

Was he the one taking the photos at the other house? Maybe someone grabbed the camera and when picture crazy?

this...I could totally see my DH doing this. 1)...he will think that I will take the pictures at our house. 2)..he sees us all of the time and he does not see SS much so it is normal that he would take more pictures there.

It would still grate on my nerves but I would let it go.

A little more info. DH is the picture taker in the family. He always takes lots of pictures so the photos at SD's house isn't really odd - what is odd is that he didn't take any of our Christmas at OUR home. It definitely wasn't SD taking pics as they have a camera and would have taken their own photos with it.

We had my family over for a BIG Christmas celebration and small gift exchange. Lot's of fun and DH gets along with everyone. My family is very respectful to my DH even though they know he is a little weird about his 1st family.

The xmas at SD's did not include BM but did include his Son-IL's family and both SD's plus the gkids and SD's DH etc etc.

So both xmas's were similar in size and festivities - I just don't understand why he didn't feel it important enough to take ANY photos. He did not take a single picture of our Christmas - not even Christmas morning! He only took 2 pictures of the tree a few days prior to this celebration.
