Feelings about a sprinkle
I just have a question. Im trying to see how others would feel. My husband has 2 sisters, one is married with children. We both have 2 children each. Her kids are actually each 3 months younger than ours. I recently found out by accident (on facebook) that my mil and sil threw her a sprinkle when we were both pregnant with our second children. Now I was not invited and it was never even mentioned to me yet close family and friends were invited. Now I would not have wanted one for myself, but I feel it is so weird. My inlaws didn't even visit me until the next day and maybe for an hour. How would you feel?
Re: Feelings about a sprinkle
We're actually doing a sprinkle for a co-worker in two weeks. I think they are a great way for a mom to get a few new small things like diapers, pacificers & a new bottles, etc. Now onto the issue of your MIL throwing one of your SIL a sprinkle. I could maybe she thought your mom would throw you one so she didn't because she didn't want to step on your mom's toes. But why she didn't invite you to SIL's, that seems a little rude. In regards to the visit, what time of day did you have your baby? I know when my friends and family have a baby, unless it's early in the day, I usually wait until the next day to go visit to give the mom some time to recover & relax and I try not to stay too long. I really do that when it's the second child figuring that this time in the hospital may be the mom's only time to relax and get some piece and quiet before having to deal with the craziness of a newborn & another child when she returns home. But that's just me. Now how would I feel in your shoes, I don't honestly know.
