Should I be offended

jarebearsmom · May 2013

Since I just found out from a pee stick on FB that my sister is having a baby?

Are you close with your sister?
How did you tell her when you were pregnant? Phone call, text, in person?
I would probably be a little upset, but some people like the FB outlet to air everything.

I guess it depends on how close you are? I would be, but I talk to her (my sis) at least once a week. If you never speak, then maybe not... That said, we told all our family and friends at the same time about LO2 @ a 4th of July party - so it wa first come. first in the know. Maybe they just aren't the type to make a big deal about it?

Edit: Also, it was a picture of the pee stick?? EW. Maybe she JUST peed on it like five seconds before she posted the picture. Over-sharer who chronicles her every move on fb? Maybe she didn't have time to tell people in private because it had to be posted immediately?

I think it depends on your relationship. My brother and I FB each other a lot because neither of us are big phone talkers and he lives far away.

I think posting a photo of anything you've peed on is kind of icky but that's just me.

We use to be so close. I drove an hour to where she lives to tell her in person. I called to see where she was, we were meeting for lunch, and on the phone she told me she couldn't make it because her friend was over and she didn't want to leave. Toward the end of the conversation I told her I was pregnant and she replied "dear God please tell me you are not having ANOTHER kid!" And she hasn't spoken to me since then.

DH has a very successful job and we never ask for handouts because we don't need them. Whereas she is constantly hitting my parents up for money because they don't work

I guess it just stings because no matter how mad I would be at her, I would never make her find something like that on FB.

Oh and after we became FB official she never said anything. But when her BFF announced that she was pregnant she posted "I'm going to be an aunt again! I can't wait to meet you" and tagged her friend. Guess this shouldn't surprise me after that

Oh boy! Well with the back story added, I vote ok to be offended but not surprised. Stick out tongue

Sorry!

Ugh, I saw your post in the oct 13 board too. So lame.

Personally, I can't stand rifts in the family. It gives me massive anxiety. I would have to sit down with her and talk it all out and mend things. Even if she is being childish, and even if the two of you can't agree on everything. I would want to at least make an effort to be friendly, because she and her children are going to be in your life for all of eternity.

Wow...well it sounds like she is jealous of you, and a snotty sister to boot. I wouldn't be surprised, and honestly with the way she treats you, I wouldn't care much at all.

I try not to care but I'm a lot like halo. I hate the tension. And my mom just found out she has muscular dystrophy so she really needs her girls right now. And instead, my sister is being a douche.

I just don't know what to do. I want my sister in my life but I can't handle all of her drama and all the anxiety if watching her kids go without. I am so confused

This is the sister with the FB birthday invite right? Oh my goodness, I just don't even know what to think about her anymore. So sorry, JBM. I'm really sorry about your mom too. T&Ps for her. :-(

Yep. One and only.

Thanks! Her dad passed away in September a year ago. He use to live with her and she did everything with him. Ever since he passed she got really bad off health wise. We even gave her Molly to see if it would help in case it was depression. Turns out it isn't depression she's actually really sick :

Wow. She's a peach. I'm sorry!
