My husband has a framed picture of his grandmother right before she died. She was a very sweet lady, but in the picture she's about 80 years old and looks a little confused and I must admit it's kind of creepy looking. He loves his grandma so I feel bad not having the picture out but my kids cover their eyes to walk past it.. Do you think I should move it to the bedroom?

My children are toddlers. I do not expect them to understand the situation.

You should honestly try to be a little more sensitive to your husband. I don't mean to offend you, but it is his grandmother and she passed away. It's kind of thoughtless of you to be feeling bad for your children.
You should be giving them lessons on respect, having manners, and being sensitive to people's feelings that you supposedly love.

Try finding a really great frame for it so that he can move it to his bedside table or the dresser. Make it seem like something special you are doing for him. But if that doesn't work politely ask him for a better picture of her to hang in its place. The older vintage photographs are very highly prized and usually quite attractive in the right frame.

You might want to move it to your bedroom. Explain to your husband that you don't want the kids to remember her that way. Try putting a picture up where she doesn't look as sick. That way your kids and husband will remember her when she was in better health. Good luck in your decision.

yes you should because is causing trouble to your children. explain that to your hubby. tell him you understand his love for her but that your kids are scared of that picture and he cant force them to understand why is she so important to have the pic for everyone to see. tell him he can have the pic at his work or move it to his night table. I do the same with a pic my hubby has where he is with his daughter when she was a baby. I hate the picture, he doesnt want to put it somewhere else so I move it so it faces the window and I don't see it anymore. it's there, that's what he wanted but I didnt want to see it at all so we agreed on keep the picture in the living room but only if I didnt get to see it so it worked for us.

I think you should talk to your husband about it. If he doesn't want it to be moved, then leave it where it is!!!

Your children aren't very respectful, are they! Old people are beautiful and there's something very wrong if you haven't taught your children that.

Can you replace it with a nicer picture of her?
