[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is excused for asking at first if it was a joke. But once she realized it wasn't, removing herself from the group chat/facetime was rude. And describing here that she "sadly" realized it wasn't a joke, is all we need to hear to figure out why the sister didn't share her pregnancy news in the first place.

Removing herself from the chat confirms that the sister (who OP says is prone to "drama") made the right call to keep OP at a distance.

It also sounds like OP and the sibling being in "regular contact" the last 6 months was probably both being on the group chat, not them calling each other weekly, or texting each other every few days about what the kids are up to.[/quote]

You are the one who is obtuse.  She is not sad about the baby; she is sad about the poor state of her relationship with her sibling, which she thought was fine until that moment.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you. This is exactly it. I wasn’t sad the baby was born of course, but sad that my sister didn’t think to tell me before it happened. Because of that choice, I have sadly realized that the relationship I thought we had is nonexistent, and I will no longer be in touch with this person. I will redirect the energy and resources into the other children in my life whose parents value our relationship. Thank you for understanding the situation as I described it and not misconstruing my words. [/quote]
You still shouldn't have left the group chat. It called attention to you when you could have just stayed along with everyone else and said a few nice things or said very little. But leaving early made you look like the drama queen.[/quote]
