She and her latest (brand) new DP have announced they?re expecting their first child in February. She has always insisted she doesn?t want children, including only two weeks ago when last I asked her. She must have been at least 3 months pregnant and lying her head off. I feel really angry that she didn?t tell me and has gone behind my back.

YABVU and sound a bit weird.

If you are this angry that she lied about her pregnancy until she was ready to to tell you then I'm not surprised she waited and kept it her wn secret for a little while. You sound like you have no boundaries. she is pregnant, it is happening to her and her partner (sorry brand new partner) not you. if they wanted some time for whatever reason before they shared the news, they have that prerogative. You have no right to feel angry about that.

I cannot imagine being anything other than thrlled if my sister told me she was pregnant and she could well have lied to me about whether she was at some point. I really can;t remember because its really not the most important piece of information in this scenario.

What is it with the looney tunes sister posts at the moment?!?

No wonder your sister lied, if that's your attitude Hmm

Maybe you feel left behind, now that she is in love and having a family of her own? Don't give in to feelings of eny though, it's not a healthy emotion, and you will have your own life with issues that you don't want to share with her immediately too.

Why does being a relative mean that she has to share every aspect of her life with you?

You can be close and still have your own life you know. I have 2 brothers, a half sister, a step sister and a step brother who I love dearly, but what they do regarding their fertility and family planning is none of my bloody business actually.

Maybe she thought you had guessed and was trying to throw you off the scent.

YABU and very strange!
