My sister and I had babies within a few weeks of each other. I thought it would be fun but its not.

You sound like a real downer, OP.

Live and let live, honey.

I never criticize my sister or her choices. I know better. Its never gotten me anywhere and it never will. She is the older sister and would or could never tolerate me voicing any type of criticism about her. Lifetime experience on that one.

Despite all that. I love my sister and my nephew. I'm just tired of the criticism that is coming my way. My words about her are just me venting.

Read your original post again.

You call it "venting," but it's actually criticism and judgment. With that type of negativity in your head and heart, I can see how things are not fun.

I bet if you change your attitude, this whole issue will go away.

Get over yourself.

Seriously, this.

Keeping things in perspective, OP - I ditched anyone that was a drain, seriously. It doesn't have to be permanent in this case, since it is your blood relative. But seriously, would you put up with this kind of judgmental BS from anyone else? I hope not.

+1. Be grateful that you each have a healthy child and try to foster a positive cousin relationship between the two.

YOU sound like you are criticizing your sister's choices. Just focus on your own baby, your own life, and you'll be a much happier person.

Guess what? I didn't breastfeed, I used cloth diapers, and I bought a larger house farther out in the burbs as I had more children. SO WHAT?

Just focus on your own life and your own choices.

OP, your post is a totally reasonable vent and I'm glad you seem to be ignoring the haters here.

I think you should just try to ignore your sister's "my way is SO GREAT!" comments. Just literally ignore them, or change the subject, or leave the room. Over and over and over. It sounds like she's either insecure or clueless.
