[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get what you're feeling and I don't think it's unjustified. One of my brothers and my sister did know acknowledge the birth of my daughter at all. The received the announcement, heard through the grapevine, and just a single response. No "congrats" reply back. Nothing.

When I was coming out to see my side of the family with the baby, my husband urged me to invite them anyway - so I did, and finally they agree to show up at some point, during which my brother announced that my children are not his favorite. My sister, on the other hand, has since really stepped it up and become an awesome aunt - so I give her a pass for just being weird about births. My brother though - it's hard to think of him in the same way knowing how little I, and my family, mean to him.

If you can just lower your expectations and accept that your siblings aren't offering what you'd hoped for, then perhaps you can make peace with what they are there for - some light chit chat during holidays. I know it hurts now, but hopefully in the future, you can enjoy the relationship for whatever little it is. [/quote]

How did your brother make that announcement??[/quote]
