Sister ignoring pregnancy?

[Junebug_CJ]

Yep, same situation here although my sister is 2 years younger. They got married 2 months after us, and she's been very jealous since the start of the pregnancy. Has not called or emailed me once. And she and hubby are going to be baby's legal guardian, sigh... At least she helped my mom organize the baby shower, but that's the extent of her involvement so far. Really makes me sad

My mum is the same she couldnt care less,my sister got a little one whos 4 and her and her oh both live with mum,her lo gets it all mine get sod all,mum doesnt even phone and ask if were ok or if we need any help,never has she phoned to see how things have gone with scnas etc,now to me thats not normal,she hasnt even offered to have kids when i go into labour,tho i dont think my youhngest wouldnt stay with her cus shes only 21 months old and not to keen on strange woman lol
oh family are the opposite tho but they live miles away from us but they would all help if they could,shame really.

My MIL is the same hun. Its all about her granddaugter (her daughter's child) but when it comes to my son and the two on the way, she hardly shows much interest. She's never babysat my son, hasnt offered to have him when I go into labour. Hasnt bought a thing for the twins yet or even asked what i need for them and she hardly ever asks how we're getting on. She's a little better then her daughter (my SIL) who shows no interest, but its disgusting to think how little interest she shows to my 4 year old and in the pregnancy!!

Also they always expect us to go visit them, and they never bother to come see us. For the last 10 weeks, Ive been pretty much housebound as Im finding it difficult to get out and about and in that time, she's come to us just once! Told my DH im not bothering to go anymore, even after the twins are here!

Drives me nuts and I do have a moan at my DH but he just tells me she doesnt mean it and she does ask about us when talking to him. I guess he feels stuck in the middle. The way i see it - their loss!! While my family are going to get to see the babies and my son regularly and get to know them, MIL will be a stranger to her grandkids, as Ive decided that if they cant be bothered, nor can I!!

i think it's pure jealousy. i like being realistic. i have a younger sister that behaved like that and an uncle that even suggested that i could have children without being married. what?.....
he had been married 3 times without luck and my sister had someone that got her pregnant and left her and she had to abort the baby. both of them behave alike and they are like that to any member of the family who gets married or has kids or is pregnant, not just to me. well i cut them off completely from my life cos it's not worth it having people around you who cannot be happy for your progress.
my youngest sister got married and started having kids before me, and at that time i was with someone that did not want to get married soon and have kids, but i was still very excited for my sister. i was very involved and was even their witness at their wedding . it gave me the confident to leave that person and move on which eventually led me to meet my OH and we started having kids and got married.

sorry for the rant , but i believe it's jealousy.

my step sister is exactly the same. we used to be really close, now were not since i fell pregnant. i never got a congrats off her or anything. she has never spoke to me about my baby or my growing bump. just hope she will change when bubs is here

My SIL has basically ignored the fact I am pg up untill recently, i've just put it down to jealousy. She HAS to be the centre of attention at all times and if its not her at the centre it HAS to be her little girl.
Pretty pathetic really cosidering she is 30 years old and has already had the enjoyment of being the pg member of the family, let me have my turn in the limelight for once in my life!
