What was the deal with her not including you in her pregnancy to begin with? I had a SIL who was like this, making every blasted thing a competition (and I refused to compete - just stewed about everything unfortunately). We had a newborn baby girl placed with us for adoption (thru foster care) after we stopped speaking to one another (while she was pregnant) and when her daughter was born she about had a cow because she had named her daughter Alexandra (Ali for short) and found out that we had this baby named Alison (Ali for short). That started a family campaign to try to get us to change our daughters name at the time of finalization - don't think so, we loved it and it was perfect for her. When that didn't work she proceeded to bad mouth us to anyone in the family that would listen (including great aunts and uncles we never see) claiming we copy everything she does - so much drama and for what? This was 13 years ago and I know that I would handle it much differently if it happened now - I have no patience for stupidity and selfishness.<BR/><BR/>As for not counting your adopted children as "real grandsons and grand daughters" - well, that's indescribable to me. I am overly sensitive to that I'm sure, but what if your child overheard that? I think that's just plain nasty. You can only make so many allowances for people, after that, you need to make some serious decisions about their value to your family.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612523674452864077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21448744.post-88263474974308620742008-06-17T15:55:00.001-04:002008-06-17T15:55:00.001-04:00There are a few words to describe this type of sit...There are a few words to describe this type of situation with your sister and her new baby.

Tara was standing right there. I disowned them right then and there and haven't seen them since. I'm sure they wouldn't approve of my biracial son since they are both bigots. Oh well. Some people are simply suck. I hope when they die, they go to a place where they are the only white, straight people :)Torinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992090842674056507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21448744.post-30027975670018243422008-06-17T11:40:00.000-04:002008-06-17T11:40:00.000-04:00I am being completely evil, but here goes....What ...I am being completely evil, but here goes....<BR/><BR/>What goes around comes around!!!<BR/><BR/>That's what she gets for being mean!<BR/><BR/>GerriAlyssa's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004459693104286954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21448744.post-28349343107666573492008-06-17T11:31:00.000-04:002008-06-17T11:31:00.000-04:00Oh Tudu, that's kinda funny! here in NS, they ref...Oh Tudu, that's kinda funny! here in NS, they refuse to tell you the sex of the baby because someone did just that.. got all this blue stuff, painted, etc.. and it turned out to be a girl and they sued the Dr. for money lost on all the stuff they had bought!<BR/><BR/>Silliness!Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918826364837237450noreply@blogger.com
