[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes when people have news, they don't want to spend a lot of time calling everyone in the family and letting them know.  They give information to a family member who they expect to help spread the news instead of calling everyone.  So you aren't on the first call list.  I wouldn't make a big issue out of it.

My siblings are 20 months apart and I am 5 and 6.5 years younger.  I am in my 50's and my siblings are both in their 60's.  They have always been closer due to their age difference and only being one school year apart.  When my brother moved to another city (almost 40 years ago), a couple of years later, my sister moved to be near him and they have been in that city ever since.  They see each other regularly.  I see them a couple of times a year.  They are naturally much closer.  We all talk to Mom at least once a week and we give her news.  Prior to the pandemic, if they had news, I usually got it when I talked to Mom and vice versa.  I rarely called either of them directly.

Since the pandemic, we have family Zoom meetings once/week so that Mom can see all of us (and the grandkids, since we have the only kids still at home).  Now we share the information directly via Zoom, but for nearly 30 years, I rarely spoke to either of my siblings directly.  And yet we all love each other and we just assume Mom would pass the info around so that we we not have to call each other in addition to calling Mom (we are all very busy).  [/quote]
