[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on, people. Anyone who says they would have responded gracefully to a sibling announcing their child’s birth with no prior notice, on a group text to boot, is just trying to needle the OP. Of course both the timing and method are unusual ways to have announced news of this magnitude to one’s sibling.

That said, OP, this is now your new niece or nephew. [b]Be glad for the family, properly fawn over the new little one, and once the dust settles I’d have a one to one chat with my sibling explaining that you were hurt to have learned of the news this way,[/b] I’d emphasize their importance to me, and then I’d move on. [/quote]

This is great advice, but would only work if the OP hadn’t left the family chat in a dramatic huff. She’s going to have to eat some crow before anyone lets her fawn over the new little one, and from her portrayal of her sibling as “narcissistic” I have a feeling OP can’t recognize that she is in the wrong.[/quote]

OP here, I have no intention of backpedaling on this one. Several days out and I am more confident than ever that I did the right thing. I am done with this sibling, she has always been nothing but drama and I should have done it long ago to be honest. The only thing I feel now is a massive sense of relief. [/quote]

Why? From the reactions here, or did sibling do something else?[/quote]
