Sister's comment on facebook - curt/jealous?

[Anonymous]

Maybe she isn't on facebook every day? Maybe she doesn't have time to scroll thru your 100 pictures?

Isn't your life so much bigger than this? You are newly married. Who cares if there was a delay on someone commenting on the pictures, or if they used a 5 letter word instead of 7? You're on an adventure, and you are filled with the good wishes of those in your life, and you have so many other fabulous things to focus on.

No one will ever care about your wedding pictures even half as much as you do. She was nice for even commenting on them at all. You had your princess for a day moment, it's over, let it go.

3 days later she posts - "so great - thanks for posting"

shouldn't she act more jazzed? they are my wedding photos!

What is about the term "MY WEDDING!" that makes me cringe?

OP, how much money did she have to spend on your shower, bachelorette party, and wedding?

Did you ask her to do a number of things for you?

Maybe she's just tapped out.

Imagine when OP has a kid. TEAM SISTER!

OH.
My.
God.

You are awful. I already feel sorry for your mother-in-law, I can't even imagine the future postings. Talk about spoiled, entitled, bratty, and self-absorbed.

MY wedding.

Jesus. I don't understand how some people even made it through childhood with their sibling issues. Your poor parents.

Lol no one cares about other people's wedding photos.

Actually, it goes deeper than this. Most people actively despise other people's wedding photos.

True. But you get nostalgic for them once your cohort starts having kids and posting endless of them, including the ubiquitous Jaydyn-Braydyn-Owynn with sweet potato smeared on their face. OTL for the "un-follow" feature.

Why is this? Do other people's weddings (and lives) really suck that much? This thread is really eye opening. OP, I think you are looking for validation that your sister can never give you; and I do not doubt for a second that jealousy is involved. I also do not doubt that your wedding was beautiful, probably much more beautiful than your sister's, which family probably gushed over, for some unknown reason. You will never get what you need from your sister. The sooner you realize that, the better. Time for you to make your own family.

Maybe your sister is just over the big wedding sucking all of the air out of a room. Maybe she wishes you weren't hell-bent on making yourself the center of attention even after the wedding. Maybe she thinks, as many do, that this is immature.

Same goes for posters who immediately go to "jealous" or "bitter" working mothers or "jealous" friends who don't have their HHI. Most likely those people don't get along with you because you behave in a manner that's hard for them to deal with.

Labeling people as jealous says more about you than about them. It shows you assume there's nothing wrong with you and people who disagree would rather be you. It's vain.

Ditto! Excellent insight,PP.

I disagree. Some people just don't like happy, young brides. It is not so difficult to understand.

I agree that your princess for a day moment is over and it's time to get back to reality. Some people aren't into Facebook. She already lived through the wedding and in a position where there's a lot of responsibility. Maybe she's over it. Doesn't mean she's jealous. Move on.

Your sister must love you very much to show such great restraint in her comment. Be pleased she stood behind you when you are at your most self centered and boorish moment.
Your are now an old married lady and must show decorum.
