Probably just post-natal hormones, but this really annoys me.
Backstory: I'm estranged from most of my family (due to abuse, addiction, and generally toxic relationship - and even with this it took me a long time and a lot of advice from others to do so). I'm trying again with my mother for the sake of my Grandfather, who is a wonderful man if a bit blind to the issues within the family. It's a sporadic email relationship with my mother. I also have my sister on Facebook after she got married a year ago and it was the only way to communicate with her about it. She pretty much takes whatever I say on there and texts it to my mother, but never actually says anything to me (for example: when I announced my pregnancy on facebook, as so many of my friends are in the States where I originate, she texted my mother, but never said anything to me).
I gave birth to DS2 on Wednesday, and after emailing my mother I announced it on Facebook. My sister couldn't even give me a basic 'Congrats', she simply said "Whats My new nephews name???". My mother's email was "Yes, [sister] texted me that Our boy had arrived" (punctuation and caps as they put it). I hardly call him "my son", and I find people - family or not - who aren't in their lives regularly to refer to them...possessively (I guess is the best term for it) is just off.
so AIBU or are they?
