Vent: Sister is pregnant

butterflygrooves

My younger sister just told me that she is pregnant again...  I blew up on her and don't feel a bit bad about it.

She just lost her job (due to her fighting with her boss), her bf is working 15 hours a week and they have been on government assistance for the last 3 1/2 years (welfare, food stamps, medi-cal, childcare assistance, WIC, etc.).  I don't want her to get an abortion but she could have used protection.  I am disappointed in her.

DW and I agree that she is neglectful of her daughter (3 years old next month) and doesn't discipline her.  She lets my niece hit my daughter when she wants toys and lets her scream like an air raid siren without consequence.  Earlier this year they stayed with us for our wedding and my sister left my niece in the bathroom after their shower and my niece slipped and fell, hitting her head on the floor hard enough to cause everyone across the house to jump up and run to see what happened.  My sister acted like she was standing right there when it happened and that nothing was wrong.  She was actually across the hall in the bedroom, those who ran across the house got there more quickly than she did.

 I just needed to vent, I'm so upset.  I don't understand why the people who live their lives doing the right thing have to wait to get pregnant but those who don't care about anything get pregnant over and over without trying.

*hugs* I had some not-so-nice thoughts when my younger sister got pregnant a year ago with a guy she'd known a month, among other circumstances, some of which are like yours.  It was very hard for me to go through her entire pregnancy and due date while still waiting for even the chance to get pregnant.  I don't know why it's so easy for some and not others, but I do think our time will come.  Hang in there.

I'm sorry. It's so hard to watch things like this, it's like salt in the wound. ((HUGS))

Ditto.  I think we all understand how you feel.  So sorry.
