[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not take it personally, and follow their lead (e.g. they need space.) That is my opinion. I struggled w/ infertility as a single woman, so perhaps that is why I am compassionate towards them. Congratulations on your pregnancy![/quote]

OP here.  I guess I feel that SIL should pretend to be happy for us, and give us a quick call or send an email.  That just seems like proper manners.  To ignore close kin's pregnancy just seems really odd and ridiculous to me.[/quote]

Wow, this really is all about you in your mind. You know, when I was pregnant almost everybody in my path was crazy ga-ga about this pregnancy. So much so that I thought "geez, I've NEVER been this excited about somebody else's pregnancy. Ever." You will have plenty of well-wishers and get a lot of attention. Don't force this onto your SIL. YOU need to show proper manners and LET IT GO.

Also OP: not only should you refrain from bragging about the pregnancy, but also refrain from complaining.  [/quote]
