[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who take offense at the timing of such things can not be pleased no matter what. When I told a friend I was expecting, she said "me too!" - I bet you would have preferred she wait and tell me later so I could have my moment or something. When we were expecting my second and my SIL announced she was expecting her first, [b]I debated whether I should say "me too!" right then or wait until the day we were originally planning to announce, so I waited,[/b] but even then we ended up announcing just 2 days after she did. I'm sure some people will take offense at our announcement even though when and how to announce had nothing to do with anyone else.

If you take offense at such things, it's your issue, not the SIL's. [/quote]

This is the only sensible thing to do. The SIL did not wait.[/quote]

Which one was the sensible choice? Saying "me too!" even though you weren't ready to announce right then? Or following your original plan? The SIL did not know we were expecting so obviously that didn't factor into her decision. [/quote]
