Woman Asks Photographer To Edit Her Stepson Out Of Her Family Photo With Her New Kids

The stepmother wanted her stepson completely erased from her family photo with her husband and two new babies.

Some family photos are meant to be keepsakes, but this one turned into a full-blown internet mess. A woman in a Facebook Photoshop group asked for help editing her stepson out of a picture with her husband and their younger kids, and people did not take it lightly.

The request quickly spread after Twitter user @WadeCross shared screenshots from the private group, where the mom reportedly offered $10 for the edit. The photo, the family dynamic, and the choice to erase one child from the frame made the whole thing feel especially ugly.

One commenter clearly had no patience for the whole thing.

It also echoes the question of whether an aunt should ask her niece to add her name to her newborn son’s birth certificate.
