I hate to say this but I do not like being pregnant at the same time as my sister..

Here me out…

We weren’t on speaking terms but I decided to tell her she was gonna be an aunt to just discover she is also pregnant (2 weeks apart to be exact) I was so happy at first but as time has gone on, not so much.

This is my first child & her third.

She tends to down play my pregnancy & I feel like steal or shut down my excitement/joy. For example, at 16 weeks I thought I felt baby move, told her & she said “no that’s impossible it’s too soon, I would know this is my 3rd.” Or “don’t expect your boyfriend to step up & be a dad” or “you say you want a natural birth now but trust me it’ll change”.

She has also dropped NUMEROUS of hints she wants to me watch her baby & mine when she goes back to work & even asked recently if I would. I politely said no since this is my first, it’ll be too much. (I’m also in school & work part time).

I feel bad for feeling this way but I can’t help it. I would also like to add she goes to the ER about every week to two weeks thinking something is wrong when In fact nothing is. I try to be reassuring as much as possible, but lately she keeps snapping at me.

Also, with her other 2 kids, I’ve been helping with them & picking them up from daycare & they have been so disrespectful & when I tell her she doesn’t even do anything. She’s told me “oh my kids wouldn’t say that, they wouldn’t do that”. (I help because her boyfriend won’t & her car is broke down).

She’s also gotten upset that we have a lot of friends giving us free baby stuff but we had one friend give us 2 swings & so I gave one to my sister. She was like “it must be nice, I wish I had people do that, I have no one.” 🙄

She’s also told our father that I’m pregnant & do not speak to him because he wasn’t in our lives till a few years ago and some other issues.. I told her I didn’t want her telling him but she did….

I honestly do not know how to feel & had to find a way to let this all out before I blew up.
