I don’t doubt that you’ve had really difficult family dynamics, but you’re clearly a big part of the problem, with the lying and sockpuppeting on this thread. It’s so cringeworthy, and makes you look like the crazy one. Best to ask Jeff to take it down.

You almost sound as if the woman shouldn’t have sent out baby pictures and if she did, people shouldn’t have responded with their congratulations. I hope I’m wrong, since you claim to be the “laid back” one here lol.

Newborn visit is 100% the most sane choice here.

No. And it's interesting that the people who repeat this are in this thread also the most abusive in their language.

But this was not the case to make on DCUM, because in this case, you are not the priority. At all.

And sockpuppeting did not help your case. You just sound entitled and crazy with whack priorities, even if that’s not really true.

Sorry OP but I agree. No your reaction to this one situation isn’t reasonable. A newborn trumps a young kid’s birthday party. It just does. That doesn’t mean your feelings toward prior slights or difficulties aren’t valid! But to cut off family members over this particular situation makes you look unhinged, rigid and uncaring.

You’re the only one “worked up,” crazytown. You’re the one lying and embellishing…and still not winning the DCUM vote!

Maybe there is hope for this family after all.

I don’t understand how you’re reading this as a hopeful update. Mom of birthday child is so upset that she posted on DCUM. She also thinks grandma is wrong to have not rescheduled the visit with birthday child already, and she’s mad at the mom of the newborn for texting baby pictures after being icy in the previous months. This family is doomed.

You are correct. But this family has been doomed for a long time it started with grandma's favoritism that created a narcissistic and manipulative daughter. Birthday child's family is best to go no contact.
