FB vent
Ok, fb is good once in awhile to keep up with people and their lives. But when someone has to open their big mouth about something very important in someone elses life, let the person or people who's news is to share have that spotlight. I understand some people want to share the excitement but come on, there is a proper way and time to do that. What happened with manners from people?
Ok, vent over.
Well the news I read, and my DH since I showed him, is that his sister (and her husband) are expecting around the same time we are due. I am sooooooooooooo excited for them! The bad news is that we haven't offically heard the news from them. Thus the vent. My DH was at his parents house tonight and they didn't say anything so we are not sure if they know or not so we are keeping hush that we found out.
It does have me thinking, my IL will be blown away once they find out we are expecting (we haven't told anyone yet, planned to on Thanksgiving). These will be their first grandbaby's and will happen at the same time. I am still in shock myself and extremely happy!
disclaimer: sorry if this doesn't make sense, but just had to say something to get the frustration and excitement out.
Re: FB vent
That's really exciting news!
But yeah, for some reason Facebook sucks the manners and tact right out of people. It's easy to forget when you're alone at your computer that what you post goes to everyone and never goes away.
If your SIL knows it was on FB, then you can assume she assumes you saw it and I think you could bring it up. Or you can wait until she's really showing and just pretend everyone knew all along, lol. That's probably what I would do!

I'm sorry that y'all are hurt by this. I agree with Panda though, mention it to her. It's so exciting that y'all are due so close together!

I agree! And I completely know how you feel about FB. I like it to keep in touch with people that I don't see on a regular basis, but just like in the real world, I wish people would keep their mouth shut sometimes and not steal other people's thunder. Congrats to both of you, btw. You guys are going to have so much fun with the kids growing up together!
