[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, dcum has the most unnatural, unhealthy views on family relations.

Your brother and his wife's handling of this pregnancy is as weird as weird can get.  It is beyond bizarre.

The only normal thing about the whole thing is you calling your mom and asking if she knew.

Your poor mom.

This is as weird as eff.[/quote]

Totally agree!  I'm so shocked at how many people think OP's reaction is off! WTH? Do you all have terrible family relationships? Sorry, but not sharing this news is a sign that you do not hold your family in close regard and that seems to be what is upsetting OP, and rightly so, if she didn't know her brother felt this way about the family before now. Many of the reason others are posting about why they may be acting this way are absolutely spot on... but in many families some of those reasons would be why you call family first and right away. It sounds like OP didn't realize her brother wasn't close to the family until just now. So yeah, it would hurt a lot to find out this way. Frankly, this isn't about the baby ... its about OP realizing her brother doesn't view family the way the rest of them do.

I don't believe OP has come back to answer any questions yet, so yes, while it's not typical, I don't think we can assume OP's brother is in the wrong here. It's possible he's distanced himself from a dysfunctional family and they only speak every few months as a formality.[/quote]
