Brother-in-law (or his wife) didn’t let me know about their DC’s birth

We have a group chat on WhatsApp (my SIL, BIL and DH) - they could have shared the news there, but instead my BIL just informed my DH & sent him photos... I feel left out and sad because it’s big news and my DD is the first cousin of their new baby. Should I be offended? They live in Australia (my DH is Australian) so it’s not like I can pop round to visit the baby.

Just a bit of additional context: my SIL tends not to respond to my texts (so therefore I have only sent her one in the last 6 months to be friendly and ask how her pregnancy is going). I asked my DH to mention this to his brother, but he never did because apparently my SIL has some family issues (parents divorced, her sister is a bit weird etc).

OP has accepted she's wrong to be upset about this. Why's everyone still piling on?
