Brothers Book

[Presto]

Would you be hurt if your two older brothers wrote a book about their hobbies throughout their childhood with lots of funny anecdotes etc... - but did not mention you (their little sister) at all! ?

No. Do you regard yourself as one of their 'hobbies'?

If the three of us as children had done loads of stuff together, which was all mentioned in the book, but conveniently left me out - yes.

But if they did stuff together and I had my own friends and didn't really socialise with them as a child, and the book is about what they did - no

My brother spent most of his childhood trying to get rid of me. My mum used to tell him to play with me, and he would go round to his friend-with-a-little-sister's house and dump me with her while they went off to do fun stuff.

If my bro wrote a book about his childhood, the only way I would figure in it at all would be in the chapter "how to get rid of an irritating little sister"

Probably being a bit sensitive. I was around and sometimes participated in their hobby (sailing). However a small mention in their book would have been nice. Will just have to get over it.

I agree, a small mention would have been nice. That's rubbish.

I meant, rubbish for you. Have you asked them about it?

I would feel left out, and would be compelled to make the odd sarcastic comment about it, but my advice would be the bigger person and say nothing

yes, a mention would have been nice. just some small gesture. an acknowledgement that you do exist...

Thanks for your comments. I have mentioned it. I feel better that others may also have felt a bit miffed. My oldest brother said that no malice was ever intended. Hope they don't feel obliged to add me now somehow.
