why does my family make things a competition between our kids?
My son has a genetic condition and its very possible my next baby could get it too, its not life threatening just a birth defect inherited from my husbands side, when i told my sister i was expecting she didny congratulate me or anything she was full of “what if the next baby has it too?” and after our anatomy scan the first thing she asked was “did they tell you if your baby will have that?” Im not sure if she is being generally concerned or if she is trying to hurt my feelings.. but It does hurt my feelings, it is something that cant be seen until birth and she always acts like her babies are better than mine are all the time.. she is my sister and i love her and i want a good relationship but its hard when shes alwasy making her kids look better than mine do in everything, our 1st born kids are very close in age and it feels like everything is a competition, And she’s probably winning as much as i hate to say.. its depressing. I had a boys and she has girls and everyone seems to love girls way more than boys, My mom is all over her kids always playing with them and telling me funny stories about them and deffinately posts way more about them then she does my kids, when im around, but with my kids she usually just plays for a minute and doesnt give them as much attention, idk maybe its harder to relate to boys for her since she only had girls, or maybe she thinks less of my son for his birth defect.. idk. Im around her way more than my sister is, maybe thats it. but i cant deffinately tell who she would rather be with or who shes kore excited to see when everyone is around together. Maybe im jealous, idk i feel sad and i dont understand
