Annoyed

Brittany

My older brother and his wife have never been a big part of my family. They got married the same year my husband and I did, which was 3 years ago. They are both in their mid 30s, but very selfish and immature. My brother has a 9 year old daughter from a previous marriage that he walked out on when she was a baby. So I have a niece out there I have never met because she lives across the country.

They announced their pregnancy on my moms birthday in March via Facebook video chat while the rest of my family was at a restaurant. No one could hear them and they couldn't see us because it was dark (they live in a different state currently). It started a fight between all of my siblings because of how it all went down. There is more to the story, but way too much to type. She ended up miscarrying a week or so later.

I got a group message on Facebook this morning between all of my siblings and their spouses. And it's from my brother. They are announcing to all of us that they are pregnant again. 11 weeks this time.

Im just angry. I know a baby is a blessing. But it angers me that he walked out on my niece before. It angers me that they only communicate when they need something, not ever just to chat and see how things are going. It angers me that they told us on Facebook. And it also angers me because I am 7 weeks pregnant and this is not a journey I care to share with them. I know it wont really affect me because they are not part of our lives anyway, and his wife doesn't like my family. I know I sound selfish, but it's really not all about me being pregnant as well. There are just so many issues with their relationship with my family. It just stinks.
