How to get friend to stop sending pictures of her kids?

My friend has the ugliest kids I have ever seen. Every Christmas she dresses them in matchy matchy outfits and hauls them off to the photography studio where she spends loads on pictures. My husband and I cannot stand the pictures and are terrified to look at them when we get them in the mail. How can I politely tell her to save her money and quit sending me the pictures?
Trust me even you would say they are ugly!

That’s a horrible thing to say and I can’t believe you still have the nerve to call her your friend while in the same breath you call her children ugly. They’re beautiful in her eyes and that’s all that matters. If you don’t want the pics tell her so. Don’t bash her poor kids on the internet. Seriously!

    How can you be so shallow?
    All children are beautiful and its just wrong to say that they’re ugly.

    Just tell her you get many pictures during this time of year and don’t have a place to put them at so they just get thrown away. I really want to see what these kids look like if they "terrify" adults.

    Why be polite to her face when you’re so rude behind her back?! Just call her up tell her you think her kids are ugly and you can’t look at their pics anymore. Not only will you not have to look at the pics anymore you won’t have to worry about her friendship. You’re doing her the favor here, she certainly doesn’t need a friend like you!

    you don’t. Why bother? Don’t open the card if its that horrible. I have trouble understanding how you can be "terrified" to open them.

    There is no polite way. Even if there was, she’s going to ask why. All moms think their kids are beautiful.. Try being a good friend and thinking how much it would hurt her if you told her that. Do you have kids? I may be wrong but my guess is that you don’t, or else you’d understand how it feels to think your baby is the most beautiful thing in the world and want to show it off. I’m not trying to be mean though, if there’s a way you can get her to stop sending them without hinting at all that you don’t want them.. Go for it. My guess is that she doesn’t just waste her money on you, she probably has copies made and sends them out. You could tell her that every year they get a bit damaged and to send them over email.. Then just delete them. I think you’re being a little immature lol, you can’t be ‘terrified’ to look at pictures of ‘ugly kids.’ That’s pretty shallow. Who cares if I think they’re ugly too, I wouldn’t do that. They’re just kids. Are you sure this is about the ‘ugly kids’ and not about you and her somehow.. Do you resent her for showing off of something? This is all completely no offense but just a few things to think about.

    You are not much of a friend! Tell her to take your name off of her Christmas list. She shouldn’t waste her time or money on you.

    There;s really not much you can do without offending your friend. Just throw the pictures away when you receive them.
