No photo?

[PrincessCalley]

My brother and his wife had a baby this morning and they have sent us no pictures. AM IBU to be a little sad/upset by this? My own 2 daughters have been waiting all day to see a picture of their new cousin but we've gotten nothing

I'm not making drama. I haven't said a word.

Yeah this would be weird as fuck in my family. I couldn't wait to show both my gorgeous babies off. Even though one had an NG tube and quite a few wires so there was a pang that that was the first photo but i knew my family would be so delighted to see she was ok.

No you are not bring unreasonable. He’s taken photos and sent some off already and you have asked him also . I think it’s weird . Hopefully you’ll get one soon .

Perhaps they are on fb.

Why would they be on Facebook before they were sent to immediate family?

Are they on there op?

No

I'd actually have been gutted if my brother hadn't sent me photos when my nieces were born. I think its strange he hasn't when you specifically asked for one or told you to to get your mum to send one she got

Give him the benefit of the doubt today maybe he didn't realise the photo wasn't attached to the message he sent.

Regardless of that I totally get your disappointment and hope you get one soon

Fucking hell. The sheer demanding nature of this post. It’s staggering

Snapchat?

Not on Snapchat so I don't know but I doubt it.

I heard they’d posted them on X. Take a look there

I'm actually slightly taken aback at the amount of posts saying I'm demanding. It says a lot about the state of the world today. I'm close with my family ( or thought I was), we live nearby and see each other numerous times during the week. My brother is my only sibling and I would have thought it was normal to share things like this. But obviously not. My husbands family are not as close as mine but he has always received pics of his new nieces or nephews. There are more of them in family but these things are always shared. Anyway based off here I should not expect anything from my family. I'll keep that in mind going forward. My very close friends have sent me pics of their kids not long after they were born but apparently I should not expect the same from my brother and I'm causing drama by asking. Wow wow wow!!

You're being given reasons and explanations of what might be happening but you're not taking them on board or being open and flexible.

It's like you're trying to make it mean something more so you can be disappointed and left out, but it's just your brother being busy and distracted.

Who's looking after their other DC? Maybe he's tired, forgetful and thinks your mam has already sent you pics?

Just think "ah, typical DB, he's such a nob" and ask him again or ask your mam?

Dude, the baby was born TODAY. Cut them some slack.

We sent photos to our mums on the day they were born and just assumed they would share around. I’m not sure I even told anyone else, definitely didn’t put anything on Facebook for like a week. I just kinda assumed word and photos would spread.

That said, as someone who spends a lot of time in hospital, the hospital wifi is pretty dodgy. It’s entirely possible he sent a photo and it’s literally still loading, loading, loading to send. I’ve had plenty of messages I thought sent that didn’t when I checked back hours later. Maybe he thought he sent something and it hasn’t gone through and he’s just a bit overwhelmed and hasn’t noticed.

I would laugh if the brother and his wife put the pics on Facebook before they sent them to the OP........! 😂

Sorry @PrincessCalley . 😆

Oh i do totally think that. Believe me my brother would be the first one to ring looking for my daughters to help out with his older son if and when it suits him. We got a text this morning somewhat similar except it was to help my mam. And they did go and do it after they completed their Saturday activities. So I'm just a little hurt that he couldn't find 10 seconds to send us a pic. That's all. I know they are busy and have a lot going on but it takes literally 2 seconds to send a text.

But that would mean you'd be a bit of a

I’ve never sent pictures of my babies to family. I rang them to tell them the baby was born. Then they came to see them.

Why would I send a photo and miss the moments when they meet and see each other for the first time? I’d think that was odd! Nobody has sent a picture to me as a birth announcement before, unless acquaintances and it’s a generalised sm post.

I wouldn’t be sending out any pictures!

Are you maybe feeling displaced because your brother clearly doesn't feel the same strength of a only sibling bond as you do?
Seems like he has different priorities.

Maybe.

@PrincessCalley start matching his energy then, he can't expect lots of help from you and not treat you fairly.
