random vent

My sister in law and I are both expecting boys this spring.  I'm about 10 weeks behind her.  We live in different cities and used to email/facebook each other a lot and got along really well when we'd see each other.  Since my husband and I announced our pregnancy, she's never once told me congrats or anything -- I post on her FB wall all the time about how I hope it's going well, yada yada yada . . . and she's never responded to me at all.  I'm not sure why, it just really bothers me that she's never said a word of congrats to me on being pregnant.

Is it possible she's just been busy and hasn't had time to facebook?

How about you pick up the phone and call her?

We have a similar problem with my BIL and SIL.  We told everyone on Christmas Eve at the different houses.  (Only my mom and DH's dad knew before hand)  So they said congrats and its about time.  Not too excited, but no real big deal.  DH and BIL were close when young, but BIL had a baby and got married at 20ish.  So their lives just took on different paths.  They still talk and email and we see them for special occasions and lunch or dinner sometimes (we live about an hour apart).  They have two girls - one 15 and one 11.  So everything seemed fine. 

DH sent out a mass text and email after our u/s at 18 weeks.  Its a healthy baby boy.  No reply, no congrats.  BIL received the text and email, so no way he does not know or did not get it. (FIL really wanted the baby to be a boy and is super excited.)  

So I know alittle of how you feel.  It sucks when people act like this and it does piss me off, but there is really nothing to be done.  (((HUGS)))

Unless you know for a fact that she hates your guts for no good reason I wouldn't worry about it. You're probably making a mountain out of a molehill.

Yeah, that's why I'm just randomly venting.  The only time we ever see each other is during some holidays and a few family get-togethers, so it really isn't that big of a deal.  So far, we've both been healthy so whateves.

Maybe she's just super tired or busy nesting? lol. I have been either so exhausted I sleep for 12hrs a night or I'm cleaning the house, re-arranging or preparing for baby. I literally have the next 6 Saturdays booked for things b.c of the nesting and trying to get things done. I go on FB once or twice a day to check updates and that's it, no more then a couple min. at a time. Try giving her a call or emailing her! )
