[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like OP’s sibling knew that the second (or third or fourth or whatever) day was OPs kids birthday and that’s why she insisted on grandma visiting on that specific day and not the day after. Some women really are that petty.[/quote]

What about OP being annoyed that her sister is sending out baby pictures and that people are responding with “congratulations!!”

That tidbit sort of makes me distrust OPs retelling of these events , lol[/quote]

The obvious seething resentment from OP that her sister dared send out pictures of her newborn baby was quite something to watch. [/quote]

It is pretty balsy if the new mom had previously been giving everyone else the silent treatment per the OP. [/quote]

I don't agree. OP said specifically that this sister isn't estranged, just that she and her mom had had an argument, and that OP and her sister aren't particularly close but not for any big bad reason.  Sending newborn photos is pretty standard, and responding with ANYTHING other than "congratulations!" is insane, no matter the circumstances.  The woman can be distant from her family but still send a a quick birth announcement and expect civil replies.  [/quote]

Totally normal, even if they were all not talking and upset with each other, to send out photos and a birth announcement.  Doesn't big events like death, birth, Nobel Prizes, being hand selected at random to venture to the moon, etc justify a break from the squabble and recognition by all that this is a special time [/quote]
