[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who say they wouldn't care have obviously never been in the situation.[/quote] I have. A relative told me she was pregnant when she visited me in the hospital after DC's birth. I was happy.

I don't get how someone else's happiness diminishes your own. What a pathetic way to live![/quote]

Did she choose that day to announce her pregnancy to the world?  Or was she talking to you, excited for you and mentioned it spur of the moment?  [/quote] All the family was gathered, and she told us all at the hospital. I found out a few minutes after everyone else.

I feel like even if you felt a little twinge of understandable annoyance, wouldn't you as a mature adult recognize that feeling as petty and get over it, rather than indulging it and using it as an excuse to create drama?

People overcomplicate relationships with these sorts of rules, rather than just considering a person's genuine intentions.[/quote]

Well, sure.  I suppose I would just suck it up and SMILE BIG - even if I was laying in a hospital bed, recovering from the birth of my child (maybe even c-section) surgery.  Would I appreciate it?  Nah.  Not a bit.[/quote]

Really?  I guess I don't see how someone's good news takes away from your own. There is enough to go around. [/quote] Exactly.

You want to look for an excuse to have issues with your SIL, sure, you can invent reasons to get offended. But it's stupid.[/quote]
