(TL;DR at the bottom)

Recently I was shown a group photo from my wife's side of the family. It shows great-great-grandmother, great-grandfather, grandmother, new mother, and infant. It's a good picture; everybody's smiling. 

However, I'm less than impressed. And I'm generally okay that I probably won't be in a similar photo for a decade or more.

See - in order to get that five-generation photo, including various aunts and cousins, the following happened: 

Grandmother got pregnant in high school and gave the baby to a Catholic adoption agency, then got with a different guy. Then started having babies with him.

Mother and Aunt both got pregnant in high school. 

One married her boyfriend while a teenager. 

The other made up a reprehensible accusation against a guy at school to keep her boyfriend from getting in trouble. When it became obvious that the guy she accused was innocent, she gave birth, and split up with the real father. He didn't get to be part of his daughter's life after she was a toddler.
 
Now the most recent generation's baby is from a boyfriend of about a year who was a rebound from the last boyfriend. In three of these generations, the boyfriends lived under the girlfriend's parents' roof, for at least a while.

I love my in-laws. I took care of those babies. I rocked my neices to sleep when their own fathers couldn't be bothered.

My wife and I dated through high school, dated through college, got engaged, got married, moved in together, then started having kids. My wife's the only one of her family who can say that. It seemed like the right order, at least at the time, and it wasn't always the easiest thing to do. 


So, TL;DR - while I truly love everyone involved, I see my in-laws' five-generation photo as the result of some pretty horrible and selfish decisions and I'm not terribly impressed....

AITA?
