Am just interested in others' views on this as I don't really know what to think myself.
Just seen sis and BIL for the first time since telling sis (on phone a few days ago) that am pg. It's my first.
Saw them both today and BIL didn't even mention it, let alone say congrats or anything.
Not a big deal to me in too many ways to mention, I am not at all interested in being any kind of diva and tbh at times I am happy not to have to deal with talking about pg stuff with family!!
But as I have thought about it a bit this evening, I am starting to wonder if he 'should' have said something, even just one word? I have always been the world's most doting auntie to their 3 kids (in fact that is why I was round there today, dragged myself to see them despite feeling vile and nauseous all day) and give them as much time and energy as I possibly can.
Might it have been nice for him to have said something or is it no biggie?
I'm not sure it's an excuse just to say that he's a typical man who doesn't really get excited etc about babies, my DH couldn't care less about most people's babies (I mean that in a nice way!!) and yet he would always congratulate someone, esp a family member, and mean it.
BIL isn't the world's greatest, tbh I was actually worried about seeing him as I was assuming he'd manage to say something rude or tactless about pg and annoy me anyway!
Just striking me as not quite right now that he somehow managed to say nothing. I do know that he knows about it btw.
Any opinions, please? I do know that this isn't exactly of earth-shattering importance! Just interested in what people think!! :)
