[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes op. You are clearly lacking any semblance of empathy, and also have a knack for making other people’s issues all about you.

Her infertility is nobody’s business but your brother and SIL. They are in no way obligated to tell you. IF they do, it’s an honor and a show of trust that you can deal with that information with tact, kindness, and respect for their privacy.

I haven’t experienced infertility myself, but know a few friends who have confided in me about it and know how incredibly hard it is. It takes a toll on your mental and physical health, and is also like experiencing a loss, especially when seeing other families with children.

You say they have made everyone else’s lives miserable, but I think that’s just you making it about you again. They are just dealing with their own issues, and honestly, it sounds like their instinct to keep this information private was well-founded based on your reaction.[/quote]

I know, but I’m just so mad. I mean, SIL May have been just given the news that her pregnancy didn’t “take”,after a month of injecting herself with hormones, having a needle painfully and under ultrasound, take eggs out of her ovaries, waiting to see if any of those eggs made it to cell stage, and having a procedure to put those cells into her uterus. Maybe a smash cake photo op wasn’t high on her (or his) priorities that day, after suffering what likely was one loss after many.

Maybe she was already at the end of her rope, and having you rave about parenthood being “true love” and you teasing about not being parents.

Deny it all yiu want, OP, but the fact that you are more upset about your brother not being there for your children tells more about what you feel about your relationship with your own brother. You won’t be satisfied until he adores your children, and you wont be satisfied (based on your response about “their own” children”)until he gives you the same, auntie experience. Your idea of a sibling adult relationship is based on children, and you’re even going so far as to call the relationship miserable because he’s not giving you what you want for YOUR children.
