My MIL, FIL, SIL and BIL live in the same house. The only one we talk to and see is my MIL. Everyone else blames us for made up stuff, refuses to accept invites to our house to see us or our kids, etc etc.
Would you send them school pictures of the kids?
Problem is I want to send them to my MIL, but, I dont want the rest of the negative crew even feel glaring at my kids since theyre so angry with us, for no real reason
Sending these pictures could be an olive branch of peace.
Or, before you send them, just ask if they would like the pictures.

I would send them addressed to only my MIL. Why punish her for their behavior.

I would send them regardless, they are the ones with the issue not you and as such you need tobe mature about how you handle things. Trust your MIL she is most likely to open the mail, even if you only do it for her do it, my dragon in law is dreadful and has given me a hard time for over 30 years but I refuse to sink to her level and I send photos of the children and now grandchildren, her great grandchildren, we dont lvie close, as a matter of fact we moved to far far away to be happy because of her but she is still family and I took the for better or worse seriously but refuse to sink to that level.

Don’t’ punish your children or their grandmother just because others in the family do not like YOU. Its petty to withhold your precious children’s pictures, your proud, aren’t you? Do it for them.

Just Thinking has it right. Send the photos. At least you know you have done what is right, but I would most definitely address them to your mother-in-law. You know she will share them with the rest of the crew. Your mother-in-law’s smiles when she looks at the children’s school pictures will neutralize any of those foolish glares.
