Bummed about sis...

It's probably just pregnancy hormone blues...

but I'm bummed that my sis (been with us nearly 9 weeks) is about to leave. I had a hope that we'd re-connect and bond a little while she stayed with us. But now that she's anxiously counting down her final  days...I'm starting to realize that just didn't happen, and if anything, we've grown farther apart (that drunken puking episode her first week here made me nervous to have her around drinking all the time).

I like her BF, but most the free time she's spent here has been on the phone talking to him for hours or IM'ing him...and when they aren't talking she's busy being bummed out that she's not with him. Just sux...feel like I've lost a friend in a way  :(

Re: Bummed about sis...

  • Oh that is sad. My sister and I had a really rough patch for several years. it was very hard. But it all worked out adn now we are very close. It will happen for you. Sometimes absence makes the heart grow fonder. Maybe she will realize how awesome you are after she leaves.

    this.

    how are you feeling pregnancy-wise, by the way?

  • I don't have a sister, but I've gone through that with a friend that was like a sister (and am actually kind of going through it again with another friend).  Sometimes life just takes your life in different directions.  It doesn't mean it's over though.  I was able to reconnect with my friend and I'm hoping the same happens with my other friend.
  • Good! No more sickness...little tired now, but I think it's because I'm starting to fight something cold/germ wise. And the belly is a-growin' now!

  • have you found out the sex yet/are you finding out?
  • I agree with Gerrie.  My sister and I never got along growing up and even  through most of our 20s.  When I started dating Joe, my sister and I started getting along.  We all call Joe "the glue that holds our family together" because we all started getting along better.  It sounds like your sister can't see past herself right now.  Maybe when you have your baby she'll realize there are other things in the world to be concerned about other than just herself and her BF. 
  • Thanks guys...that helps. We head to Vancouver with her this weekend...one last chance, hope it goes well. 

    Have to wait until the 15th to find out the sex! Soooo excited!!
