Dh and I are the only ones with dc on my side of family.... dd are lovely and at such a playful age 2 & 4 years old. my brother who lives 10 minutes away never sees my children. today on cousins group chat, another couple announced that they were having a baby. everyone sent their congrats. but my brother behaved over the moon excited saying how he would be an uncle now, boy or girl, due date, how his mrs would be aunty and would feed the children etc etc. I try and not allow his absence upset me... I get used to it but do feel sad for my dds. But his behaviour in chat has made me angry... He also meets this couple and family in general more than he meets us with kids... my mind is just imagining how he will be a doting uncle to their dc, when he could never be bothered with mine. I'll probably get over it... but I just can't understand how insensitive people can be sometimes.
