We all know that in-laws can be a bit... tricky. But imagine being excluded from family portraits for YEARS because you're not considered "family" yet! 😮 That's what happened to one man, who wasn't allowed in his in-laws' annual holiday family portraits despite dating and eventually marrying their daughter. To make matters worse, his mother-in-law and sisters-in-law's exes were included in the photos, even though their marriages ended in messy divorces! 😂 Let's dive into this wild story.

Excluded Man Laughs at In-Laws' Portrait Fiasco 😆

After years of being excluded from his in-laws' family portraits, this man finally had enough and pointed out the irony of their "family-only" rule. As it turns out, his mother-in-law and sisters-in-law's exes were included in the photos, even though they're no longer part of the family! 😂 The portraits now stay locked in a cabinet, collecting dust. While some family members were upset by his snarky remarks, others couldn't help but see the humor in the situation. Should he let it go, or is it time for the in-laws to admit their mistake? 😏 Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation...

ESH but mate, be the bigger person and show love ❤️
