Jealous sister I have...
By momof3xo » Posted Feb. 3, 2016 8:12pm - 369 views - 3 comments
When my sister who is a year and a half older than me found out I was having twins she was extremely shocked.. As we all were at that point! She's the very jealous type. I am younger than her so when I had my first daughter she was jealous that I had a child before she did! She figured because she's older, she should have been the first one.. And again with the twins, she jealous that people are helping me and concerned for me and not her. It makes me really upset that I can't even have a conversation with her because I know how she really feels no matter how much she tries to hide it from me. She also is upset because if I have a boy, she wanted to be the first to have the boy. I told her, look, I am way more concerned about the health of my twins I don't care at all what gender they are!! I want them happy and healthy! That's all! This is not a competition between us sisters. This is crazy!! She does this with everything I have and she doesn't. When she tells me good news about her life I'm actually happy for her. But when I tell her news about myself, something I got for the twins, or news about the twins, she just gets jealous. I told her if you want kids, then have them!! If you want a family, then have one! Nobody is stopping her. Her boyfriend and her say they aren't ready yet.. So what? She's expecting me to put my family on hold for her? Sorry but I love my family and if I'm ready and able to continue to grow it I would love to.
End of rant lol

 | Comment from momof3xo » Posted Feb. 4, 2016 10:54am She hasn't even tried to get pregnant she's on birth control still :/ They just say they aren't ready yet. Which is totally okay! Hopefully things get better :) |
 | Comment from Hopeforchildren » Posted Feb. 4, 2016 9:19am Maybe she is having trouble getting pregnant. That would be the only excuse for how she is acting. I feel for ya. I am lucky to not have sisters like this, but my mom has a sister exactly like this and it SUCKS for her!! Like Amanda said, we all know someone like this. Venting is the only way to get through it! |
 | Comment from Amanda_McDaniel » Posted Feb. 3, 2016 8:31pm We all have someone in our lives like this. My older brother and his wife had been trying since they got married in 2009 to get pregnant. They were excited when I conceived my son in 2010 but grew really bitter over time. My brother told me that she actually threatened her older sister, who got married in 2014, that she better not get pregnant right away so I was terrified to tell them about this pregnancy. Luckily, they were in the middle of what looked to be (and ended up being) a successful second IVF so they were able to act thrilled, whether they really were or not. I'm sorry you don't feel like your sister is happy for you but at least others seem to care. Maybe she'll come around... When she does finally have children, she'll expect you to be excited for her... That's just how some folks are. |
