[quote=Anonymous]OP-I can understand your annoyance at people giving unsolicited advice and the whole "my baby" thing but beyond that I think you are being too touchy. It's wonderful that your family is so excited about your baby. I think it's a bit presumptuous to assume that your sibs want to live vicariously through you. I am an aunt with no kids and my sister has expressed many times that she is happy that my husband and I spend time with her children, that we are there to babysit, etc. I enjoy being an aunt and don't have any confusion about my role-I am not my nieces and nephew's mother. I was also really excited when the kids were born but not because I was trying to live vicariously through my sister-I was happy to be an aunt. Unless you have some mentally unstable people in your family, I really don't think they have any illusions that the child is yours and not theirs. [/quote]
