I announced my pregnancy yesterday to my parents at 13 weeks and 18 months of ttc.
So here's how it went:
Me: We have an announcement.
Mother: You're pregnant
Me: Yes (big cheesy grin)
Mother: I knew you were
Me: Ok, how did you know?
Mother: Your brother told me.
Me: I haven't told anyone yet, you're the first.
Mother: Well he knew you were because of your moods lately.
Me: Okaay.. (At this point I told my husband to show them the scan photo to deflect the convo away from this)
Mother: You were the same last time you were pregnant.
At this point I said "ah do you know what" and said to my husband shall we just go and we just left without saying anything else.
Obviously I know people aren't going to be as happy as me and my husband but to use the announcement to insult me and bring up that my sibling has been discussing me behind my back seems pretty unreasonable. All I wanted was a congratulations. They've since been ringing me non-stop but keep saying I'm too sensitive. This seems to be a normal thing recently, my brother has been given the green light to speak to me and treat me however he wants because it will all be dealt with by my parents that I'm too sensitive. I'm 28 with my own family, my brother has never had a relationship and lives with parents.
Am I being too sensitive? I would like an impartial view
