[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're wrong here.

Most of the teens I knew or know now don't get the whole baby thing. 
Also, children who live at home (even older teens) think that many social obligations can be fulfilled by the head of the family, and that they are associated with whatever the head of the family does.
Additionally, teens are in a very self-centered period of their lives.
It gets worse if the teen in person is socially clueless, and male.

So calm down.

I would call him, and in the conversation, explain matter-of-factly (without getting a tone!) that he should have called personally to congratulate you and ask after your health and that of the baby, because that is what grown-ups do. That you are telling him this because you were waiting for such a call, and that you don't want him to appear to others like an unfeeling clueless person in the future.

Since you are the eldest, be prepared for the hard work of the pioneer. He will fail to acknowledge your milestones because he can't yet relate, but may expect you to understand his.

Also dont do this if you want any relationship at all with him in the future.[/quote]
