[quote=Anonymous]Ok, I think people are being really harsh and oddly competitive here.  I personally think it's bizarre that it's somehow your fault that you got pregnant before her the first time, doing damage to your relationship.  I get that infertility sucks, but that is bitchy.  You both had treatments to get there, FFS.

I think you guys should send a card and maybe some flowers and/or a donation, as has been suggested above.  I don't think you're obligated to personally reach out.  I also think you blocking pictures from her on Facebook later is a step too far.  I understand the sentiment behind what that poster was saying, but I think it's not on you to shield her.  She probably will have to stop Facebook for a while anyway, and she should decide who to block on her own.

As for time limits, I don't know.  But I found it odd ten years later to get Christmas letters from an aunt that ended with something about continuing to mourn the loss of her parents.  It was just a strange place to talk about it, when those letters are usually updates on happy things.

And no, no one is allowed to use OP as a punching bag just because her pregnancy continues.  That's ridiculous.  I mean, people should be sensitive to her sil, but it's not open season to be a flat out bitch to others.[/quote]
