to think that my stupid sister is an idiot as she has just outed the gender of her bump on facebook?

[nickelbabe]

She was asked on Facebook by me and a couple of her other fb friends that she not put what the sex of her bump is (she's 22weeks). She's managed that fine on her own posts, but she's commented on one of her friend's statuses thus:
"Alls well here....Bump getting a little bigger, been spending lots of money on clothes for him....." (forgive her punctuation errors - she hardly ever went to school )

how stupid is she?????

surely she knows that I can see all the posts she's written, not just the posts that she's started?

I'm soooooooooo mad at her.

ooh, Morloth, you're not kidding there - I've spent so much of my life with a selfish, piggy big sister who always gets her own way and is greedy and mean.
This is typical of her and something that I thought she wouldn't do at this stage in her life (she's not been so bad over the past couple of years)
it's just sooo bloody typical of her that it's dredged up all the crap that I'd put behind me.

I know IABU, but she manages to make me so mad at her!

Yabu.

Your sister too is BU to actually control her FB usage so that you don't get to see what sex her baby is. Crazy. No wonder the poor girl slipped up.

You sound completely deranged.

God you really hate her don't you? :(

nickel are you hoping she'll see this thread?

You didn't honestly think you'd get a ton of YANBUs in response, did you?

I still don't understand why you're so upset - can you explain your need for the secrecy.

But....wtf?! She does get her own way when she is pregnant! How is it 'greedy and mean' to find out the sex of her own child and refer to it?

But Nickel IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. You sound like a spoiled, utterly mental brat and I know you have posted normally before as well? Has someone hijacked your acccount? SHE HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG. It was HER baby, HER facebook and HER choice, this isnt about you (pretty hides thread before she disappears in a puff of smoke).

I a laughing at myself now that most of you think it is weird what someone else wouldn't want to know another persons baby's sex. I never found out with 2 of mine and just like the surprise of the sex, name and weight all on the birth day.

It's none of your bloody business who she tells what about her child.

you certainly have issues, not least with your sister

Gosh you do hate her.

IUsedToBe I think you've misinterpreted.

nicklebabe - you have to chill over this. As you say, your are being unreasonable. You are over reacting big style, to the point of sounding ridiculous.

Ok, you say she was selfish in the past - but look at this OP. Who is being selfish now? Who is the one trying to control what their sister can and can't say to her family and friends? Who is it who istrying to put a stop on her sister's excitement of having a baby boy?

YABVVVU. You were bound to find out if you're following her conversations with her friends on Facebook. What if one of her friends had been the ones commenting on her status/wall about her 'boy bump'? Would you have directed the same amount of venom towards them? You can't control what information is shared about someone else's baby!

I fail to see why it matters to you so much that you get a suprise, moreso than it matters that your sisters conducts her pregnancy and her friendships as she so wishes.

Yeah but Iused to be, that was your kids - If you insisted on not knowing other peoples by attempting to make them not tell anyone you would be nuts.

My PIL didn't want to know the sex of DS1, and DH called to let them know that the 20 week scan had gone ok. He then said 'He's perfect!' Total accident. They laughed, and did not throw a tantrum.

get over yourself.

It's certainly not weird to not want to know the sex of your own baby.

It's starting to verge on weird to insist on not being told the sex of someone else's baby if they know, the rest of your family know, the postman and the checkout woman in Sainsbury's know...

It is seriously beyond weird and out in orbit around Neptune somewhere to get this upset and angry because, having attempted to go along with your insistence that they not tell you, they make a slip of the tongue.

I agree that you must be a bit nuts. Maybe stop checking all her comments on FB and give her some space.

IUsedToBeFab Read the OP again.

Its a bit like trying to avoid the football score,so you can watch it later
