And do you still talk to them?

Why don't you start? 🤔

Longwhiskers · 04/12/2023 06:49

Sat on my head and farted. We were about 8. And yes I still talk to them!

Crushed23 · 04/12/2023 06:55

Judged every aspect of my life because it’s different from theirs and our parents’.

We still talk but it’s quite a superficial relationship in many ways.

Bolloxforsure · 04/12/2023 06:58

Moved to Australia.

Onceuponaheartache · 04/12/2023 06:59

Criticised evwr aspect of my parenting and the fact I discipline my kid whilst her kids run feral.

No I don't speak to her. She was told to mind her own business or stay put of my life. She made her choice.

Treated my children differently to their cousins, basically they couldn't give a rats ass about them and exclude them at every opportunity so although we find ourselves in the same room unavoidably sometimes we don't really speak now 🤷‍♀️

fluffyduvetcover · 04/12/2023 07:16

OP you start

Clydagh · 04/12/2023 07:17

Off you go, OP.

Gosh, that’s awful.

How old are the children and their cousins? Could it be that they don’t get along so they’re excluded to keep the peace, or is it just the adults being vindictive?

Rocknrollstar · 04/12/2023 07:22

Screamed at me in public and sent me yet another abusive, libellous email (copied to all and sundry) when I was nursing our dying mother who she didn’t visit and didn’t attend the funeral. And no, of course I will never speak to her again.

I would advise against responding to the thread, unless you want to see your anecdote on the Daily Mail website tomorrow…

Offered me to his mates as a 'she's such a slag fellas,she'll shag you for free'

I knew nothing about it until I was cat-called in the street by two of them

I was 7 months pregnant at the time and the whole family thought it was hilarious

I'm nc-the same brother wants to come back into my life as 'he misses me'

Tough-i'll never forgive and I'll never forget

MissBuffyAnneSummers · 04/12/2023 07:51

She bit me on the leg when she was 4 and left teeth marks and yes we still speak.

B975 · 04/12/2023 07:53

When I was a teenager, I confided in my 30 years old sister that I was raped. She told me not to call it rape as I must have asked for it and that it was my fault it happened. I've not spoken to her in years.

Wasjumpking · 04/12/2023 07:56

Slammed a glass door behind her when we were playing chase.

My hands went straight through the glass.

Yes I still speak to her. It's very hard some days when we're around glass doors, or drinking from wine glasses.

ChanelNo19EDT · 04/12/2023 07:57

some of these are such awful acts of betrayal

It is, honestly I think it goes back to childhood 'in' and 'out' groups. I think the family member who does this always felt 'out' (not by me I might add) and now seems to weirdly enjoy recreating that with my family as the 'out' group and another sibling has gone along with it. It's strange and probably not worth analysing too much, they've always been vile and that will clearly never change. As they were so close to the other cousins though it did come as a shock even though I shouldn't have been surprised 🤷‍♀️

They don't know each other well enough to dislike their cousins tbh, we stopped seeing them regularly. There are 10 in total, my two are in the middle, all between 4 - 11.

Aposterhasnoname · 04/12/2023 09:51

told me to stop whinging when I tried to tell her about my ex sexually and physically assaulting me, and said that she wouldn’t get PND like I did because her baby was wanted.

ILoveMyCaravan · 04/12/2023 11:40

All my 3 male siblings sexually abused me for years.

ironixallyenough · 04/12/2023 12:04

Tomorrow's DM headlines...

'Heartbroken women have taken to the parenting forum Mumsnet to share their outrage at sibling relationships gone wrong...'

teenysaladandsniffofarose · 04/12/2023 12:47

Whacked me across the face with a beach spade and a chunk of the inside of my cheek came out 😂

We still speak and are probably closer as adults than children. Never argue.

teenysaladandsniffofarose · 04/12/2023 12:48

Why is everyone assuming it's the DM? Am I missing something?

ohsobroody · 04/12/2023 12:52

Pushed me off a swing and I broke my arm Grin never let them forget it either (we were 6 and 4)
