I got engaged a couple of years ago, getting married later this year (yay!) when we got engaged, from we just got a card in the post and a quick congratulations from DM and that was it. No fuss. That was fine, was happy with that.
My lovely lovely sister got engaged a couple of days ago and I'm super happy for her. Her new fiancé is lovely. And honestly I'm chuffed for her.
Now.
DM has decided to hire out a pub and throw them an engagement party, lots of gushing fb and texts about how amazing it'll be and what a fabulous couple they are, oohs they'll get lots of cards & presents etc etc.
AIBU to feel a bit put out? Nobody asked if we wanted a party (I hadn't even considered it to be honest) or even a meal or anything to celebrate. But my DM is going all out to throw them a party.
I can't help but feel a bit meh that DM has treated us both so differently.
As a side note, I'm not jealous of my sister at all, honestly honestly really happy! I don't even really care that they're having a party it's just bothered me that DM is making a big fuss when she didn't care about us when we were in the same situation a couple of years back.
Do I need to just get over it?
