IN vent
I just got an email from a friend saying she is pg. and due in April. She is telling me b/c she is inviting me to a shower which I can't attend, but she wants me to feel apart of everything. I feel really left out. She is just telling me NOW and she is due in April?
I think she was going to tell me in person over Christmas and didn't realize I wasn't going home. Anyway she is really far along and I'm hurt.
I told her I'll be home in April which is right when she is due so I hope I'll get to see the baby. Pity party.
Re: IN vent
ah that really stinks
I agree its probably just an out of sight out of mind thing
but I can understand that'd still hurt
but that's great that you'll be home when the baby is due!!
Seeing people's reaction in person can be pretty cool, so I can understand how she might have wanted to wait and tell you when you came home for Christmas. But she probably should have double-checked that you actually were coming home!
Stuff like that has happened to me before, too. It sucks. I'm sorry.
I'll join you in the pity party.
My sister just sent out an email this week planning her own bachelorette party for day in June before I can be there.... and I'm the MOH! She said she can't wait until I get there because it will be too close to the wedding and too busy a time.
At least you'll be there right when the baby is born. that's the most important part.
Ebartzen - I had my bachlorette party two nights before my wedding so I think your sister is full of it...but we had something low key (dinner and drinks) so my friends could actually go to work the next day if they needed. And planning your own bachlorette party is tacky! At least let one of your bridesmaids or friends plan it!
Maybe you can convince her to have a smaller bach party with her closest friends and then have another with you & the bridal party closer to the wedding (which is what happened with me as I had two in London and one in the States...yes, I'm 'special' - different ones planned by different people/groups)
That really sucks NCV, sorry to hear that hon.
Did you ask her why she didn't tell you sooner? I sometimes feel like people forget about us from back home...
Chronically hilarious - you'll split your stitches!
I wrote a book! Bucket list CHECK!

I'm sorry, that really sucks. Hopefully you will be one of the first to meet the baby!
Is there any possibility she really didn't start telling people until now? My SIL waited 5months to tell anyone she didn't see on a daily basis that would notice, this included family/friends.

You're spot on. My sister has always been self-centered and I think she just wants it when it's easier for her and also to spread out the attention paid to her for her wedding.
I'm too tired to confront her about it. And, to be honest, I can't keep up with her and her friends. They're already talking about renting a limo and dancing all night long. My wallet and my liver will be better if I'm not there.
