[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You and sibling set each other up to fail and seem so skilled at it, I wonder how long you've practiced this dynamic. Have either of you ever stepped up to be the bigger person?[/quote] If this was a set up, sibling sure did get the best of OP. The solution to attention-seeking behavior is not to do anything that implies you’re giving it attention— she should have said “oh, yay!!” and muted the family chat if it annoyed her. Now the family is saying OP is a drama queen and the new parents are nodding along and saying “yeah, we thought she would react badly and we didn’t want the extra stress during pregnancy” and no one is siding with OP or telling the parents they were wrong because the new baby is more interesting. This all assumes it was a setup. If they kept this private due to prior loss or late decision making timelines for adoption, then OP is just a jerk but has no way to know it.[/quote]
