So sister decided to accept my apology, half heartedly. I guess it was the fact that I didn't even realize my own daughter wasn't in the other family photo to send back to Portugal for H's mom and sister. In fact, I don't remember taking that photo either.. sighhh.. My head it not on straight...
Sister still won't take responsibility that everyone else was gathering their own kids for the photo while she was waiting for me to make a move on getting or calling for my newphew. But for her, it's as start. I guess..
Therefore I told her how horrible I have felt since but still wish she'd taken the initiative considering she realized it up front and been annoyed with me at least for not thinking of it, vs a photo that he is now missing in.
She of course has nothing to say for that. It is easier for her to play the victim. I think it is a genetic thing she acquired.
(grumble)

Well, good for you for kind of pushing it back on her to a degree! I still contend that as the bride, YOU personally shouldn't be responsible to make sure every last person for every last picture is accounted for.

The 3 page letter to you before your wedding day would be a good sign that she expects the world to revolve around her. She doesn't sound like someone who would take responsibility for her portion of the situation.
Yes, it is expected in our family that she is just like that. Still infuriates me sometimes. But I vent and then I deal. All the drama is typically on my mom's side. Which is why I unfortunately tend to alienate myself from that family. I figure I get ridiculed if I'm around for what I didn't do or how I did something wrong. Or I get talked about for not showing. Either way I'm screwed so I'll stick to the family that appreciates me. The in laws and my dad's side.
