So here's the thing, my sister-in-law is hard work. I tried really hard to bond with her and one day she asked when I planned to have kids. Being the open and honest (stupid and naive) sort, I told her we planned to start trying in a few months time. She said she was focusing on her career and wouldn't be trying for a few years.
So the time came round and after a few months of no success I was getting a bit upset. Imagine the hurt when we got a call to say she was pregnant and it was first time lucky!
I got pregnant 2 months later but she ruined the whole thing for me, putting me down for being less pregnant (is that even a thing?!) and rubbishing any new experiences or phases. The phrase 'oh when I felt/heard/saw/did that 2 months ago...' Became a regular.
The babies are now 13 months and 11 months and it's still continuing. Their baby must be the centre of attention all the time and doing everything better than mine (even if she's not), and my boy is getting pushed out by his grandparents because if it. I feel so sad for him to always be second best in their eyes 😢
