A pHOto update

Aniki-Moderator's picture

Oy. I just got off the phone with SD28. She wanted to know if DH and I had received a link to the beach pHOtos because she had not (nor has SD25 or SS21). Well, I was not about to lie to her and told that, yes, but only to our photos and some with the SSs and Mr & Mrs SS21. And I also told her DH asked for links to photos of the group and "the rest of you kids" but was told NO.

SD: She told him NO?

Me: She told him no.

SD: BD and I paid her $XXX for that photo session! So did SD25! AND SS21! 

Me: Oh boy. (What else can I say? Your mother is a selfish, narcissistic POS??)

SD: I bet Dad paid her money, too. 

Me: Well, yes. 

SD: IOW, WE paid for the f*cking session and she didn't pay a GD dime. I f*cking HATE her!

Me: I'm sorry, SD.

SD: It's not your fault, Aniki. She has always been a controlling b!tch. 

Me: If we can get a link to the group photo, I promise I'll make copies for all of you.

SD: Of course you would, Aniki! Hell, you and Dad wouldn't have asked any of us for a damn dime. Oh, I HATE HER!!

Me: I'm sorry, SD.

SD: I'M sorry. It's her. It always is. I love you, Aniki. 

Me: I love you, too, SD.

 

There we have it. DH, SD28, SD25, and SS21 paid for that entire photo session and BioHo is HOlding the kids' photos hostage. Lord, that... woman needs a major does of karma! *diablo*

For everyone involved. If they ever trust her again, it will be a miracle.

Perhaps they needed this particular event to transpire to finally cut her off, therefore enacting some karma bus action.

this truly sucks that she is doing this.

And she cannot be reasoned with.

She sounds insane. Toxic Troll is super crazy, and has checked herself into phych ward (probably for drugs, but whatevs).

Im sorry they are having to go through all this.

CLove, it would be a miracle if they can fully break away from trusting 'Ho. She has managed to suck the SDs back in time after time after time. The SSs have continued to speak to 'Ho, but their relationship with her is... less.

I fully expect SD25 to cave. She is most like 'Ho, most attached to 'Ho, and 'Ho is hands on with SD25's wedding plans.

CLove's picture

Theres not enough popcorn and butter for this one...

Aniki-Moderator's picture

Yes, JRI. SD25 is getting married at the end of the year. She is the one I expect to give in and apologize to 'Ho because 'Ho is 110% involved in planning SD25's wedding. Just waiting to hear she caved...

JRI's picture

Oh, wow, BioHo planning a wedding!   This last one went well, probably because of that Steel Magnolia bride's mother.   I just hate to think what Bio Ho might be planning.....

Aniki-Moderator's picture

Heaven knows. Or would that be Satan? I'm willing to bet 'Ho will be front and center.

ndc's picture

Just out of curiosity . . . Is 'Ho contributing anything other than her questionable wedding planning skills to SD's wedding?

SeeYouNever's picture

I thought you were going to contact the photographer directly to get a link? Does The newlywed couple not even have a link??

 

notarelative's picture

I think that since Ho was the one who signed the photographer's contract and paid, the photographer cannot legally release photograph's without Ho's consent. (Legally it probably does not matter whose money it actually was that paid. Although I do wonder what Judge Judy would say.)

Aniki-Moderator's picture

Notarelative, that is all correct. I would luuuuuuuuurrrrrrvvv to get Judge Judy's thoughts!

ndc's picture

OMG, can you imagine the 'Ho on Judge Judy? That would be hilarious. If only the producers knew. 

I think everyone should ask 'Ho for a refund. 

 

Aniki-Moderator's picture

A refund?

Bahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! That will happen. And I'm giving birth to triplets tomorrow. *lol*

Every whiskey in the world and a two foot hero. LOL  too much food

More like every flavor of cheap, crappy Arbor Mist available and some pretzels...

thinkthrice's picture

Considering her PROclivity to be self absorbed and cheap.

ndc's picture

Sheesh, I would think everyone ganging up and shaming 'Ho would be more appropriate than an apology.  But I suppose 'Ho is shameless, based on her shitty behavior time and time again. 

Delilah's picture

Are you sure that BM isn't wearing a skin suit and that underneath those rolls she is some kind of mutant troll?!

Am unsure why your sd25 felt it was a good idea to voluntarily abdicate all wedding control. It is not going to bring her closer to the cloven hoofed one, it will not be a bonding experience, as inevitably BM seems to believe she is the star of the show. It will be an utter debacle and poor son in law, as he will likely watch his wedding day descend into the soul sucking mother of the bride show.

Aniki-Moderator's picture

Delilah, no I am NOT sure. Suspicious, but unsure.

I love SD25, but she is weak. For whatever reason, she caves in to 'Ho time after time after time. 

Funny thing... SD25 is strong-willed...until it comes to 'Ho. Her fiance? He's nice, but weak as water. SD25 wears the proverbial pants. So I imagine future Mr SD25 will suck it up.

Time to look at the positives, Aniki!

No photos, but you have the lovely memories of that day.

The SKs learned that they can't trust their mother, and hopefully they won't ever again.

Only 1 of 4 kids can get sucked in by the Mothership, and it sounds like even SD25 has her limit on how much she'll bend.

'Ho won the battle but lost the war. You all can get pictures again at SD25's wedding and they'll be just as lovely. You lost nothing except a few bucks, but you can do that at a bad night at the casino, or on prime ingredients on a cake that falls in the oven. It's disappointing, but nothing time won't fix. 

Aniki-Moderator's picture

I am definitely looking at the positives, Lt Dad!

DH and I have photos, but only of us, the SSs, and Mrs SS21. DH and I have never had professional pics taken. While these are in an atypical setting, we finally have couples pics that weren't snapped at an outdoor event when we were both sweaty and disheveled. So this is a big plus for us. 

Here's the thing... SS21 will be overseas and his Mrs will not attend. No idea when we will all be together again for pictures. And this was not a few bucks - the fee was $$$. Maybe not a lot for some people, but a setback for others. 

I'm laughing over "a bad night at the casino". I was in a casino... 30 years ago? Bought $2 worth of nickels to play the nickel slots. Was bored before I'd spent the first dollar. None of the kids have ever been to one. LD... a fallen cake? Are you trying to jinx me? LOL

lieutenant_dad's picture

Do you have an attorney who will send a certified letter to 'Ho, on behalf of everyone, telling her she has 7 days to hand over the links to the pics or the cash? Perhaps the threat of being sued will get 'Ho to cooperate.

I don't want it to make it seem like the money isn't a setback for some. Just trying to look at the brighter side. The cash came at a big cost to 'Ho. Hope a few hundred/thousand bucks was worth losing her kids over...

Aniki-Moderator's picture

DH and I would be willing to bluff on our behalf, but we couldn't do that to the kids.

Winterglow's picture

I have seldom sent such an amount of negative vibes as I am currently sending to bio'ho. She makes me think of the death eaters (Harry Potter), sucking all the joy and life out of everything. 

Aniki-Moderator's picture

I have had an attorney for many years! However, I would need the cooperation of the SDs and SS21 as we would never send a letter on their behalf without their permission (in writing because I am cautious!). 

And we're not going to get that permission, I'm sure. 'Ho is deeply enmeshed in all aspects of SD25's upcoming nuptials (with the exception of the dress, veil/headpiece, and shoes!). Quite doubtful SD25 will do anything to rock that boat.

We all know that, for whatever reason(s), 'Ho has been able to suck the SDs back in time after time after time. Whatever it is - guilt, lies, false promises, Spawn - 'Ho can work it to her benefit. Maybe they will learn some day and permanently cut ties. Maybe this will be a vicious and neverending cycle.  *unknw*

So basically everybody but HO paid for the photos, yet HO was the one who signed the form so only she has the rights to the photos that she didn't pay for? Either she is a diabolical genius, or there has to be a loophole in there somewhere.

Aniki-Moderator's picture

DingDingDingDingDing!!! And none of us knew that we had all divvied up the fee until now. 'Ho has always been a moneygrubbing ho. Unfortunately, there is no loophole. 

advice.only2's picture

That sucks, but hopefully a valuable lesson is learned by the kids "never pay for anything HO is offering!"

justmakingthebest's picture

I hate her so much for all of you!!!!!

I am so glad though that these kids (now adults) all see what a good thing they have with you

Aniki-Moderator's picture

Yeah,'Ho sucks. But don't waste your emotion on hating her. She is NOT worth it and your emotion/energy can have much more worthy outlets. 

Thank you, JMTB. xo

AgedOut's picture

I'd get everyone who's being refused the links to sign onto a mass e-mail requesting refunds since she will not allow anyone their photos. Each person w/ a $ amount next to their name. You won't get any $ back but it will put ho's behavior in the spotlight where she can't pretend like it isn't happening. 

 

Then for the remainder of her birthdays/momther's days/ Christmases, everyone give her empty dollar store picture frames. 

Aniki-Moderator's picture

AgedOut, that would be a nice idea, but we paid her cash. So did SD28. Not sure about SD25 and SS21, but it wouldn't be a surprise if they paid cash to 'Ho, too. DH and SD28 have zero proof that they gave 'Ho money.

Evil Aniki thinks empty boxes would be appropriate gifts. Unwrapped...

SteppedOut's picture

Or boxes full of garbage. That are lit on fire once she grabs onto the box.

What a streaming pile of sh!t.

Aniki-Moderator's picture

That would be HILARIOUS!!! As long as it's captured on film and Evil Aniki gets a copy. *diablo*

The_Upgrade's picture

Live and learn. The first time is a learning experience, the second time is a mistake. Just don't make the mistake in the future. 

Aniki-Moderator's picture

DH is not about to pay one penny to 'Ho for SD25's wedding without signing or co-signing anything. He will only give money to SD25 or pay the supplier via check/credit card. (Are they called suppliers??)

The money DH gave 'Ho for the photo shoot was certainly worth the photos we received. A real shame about all of the games 'Ho is playing. I will never understand people like this.
