Rant - older sister

[dalia123]

Ughhh! You're not over reacting, that IS super annoying!
Unfortunately drama queens get more attention
All I can say is that you're the bigger person and the better sister.
I had to re read it to see that she's the older sister cause it sounds like she's acting super immature. Just hold your head up and be proud that you have your life in order while she doesn't. I'm sure she's jealous of that.

She is psycho. I'd comment on the picture and just say "nice food baby " or something like that to make it clear to people she's not pregnant.

[slurpeelove]

I think it was insensitive of her to post the picture. It's almost like mocking you for actually being pregnant. As for you posting about your pregnancy on Facebook, as long as you post a clear announcement, people won't think you're doing it to copy her. Don't let her stop you from doing what you want.

Oh sisters. I feel your pain. I'm the middle of three. It's super annoying. If she posted the picture with the caption lactose tummy or something then it would be less of any issue and alittle funny. (Just alittle) It's definitly sister jealousy. She wants the likes and comments.

It's like the people who have to be the first to post news even if it's not about them. They thrive for that attention.

[slamar3]

I'd put a comment like "hahaha you almost look pregnant in this pic! Take a poop!" Or something... I'm sorry she is the way that she is! Hope you feel better soon!

[tashala107]

I agree with PP, I'd probably making a "joking" comment on the pic, calling her out for not being pregnant. Make your own FB announcement when you feel comfortable, I can assure you no one will think you're copying her. If you think of your sister as an attention seeking drama queen, there's a strong chance other people in her life will probably agree

That's some serious jealousy and insecurity right there. I would be annoyed too, but try not to let it get you down. You don't even need to post your own pregnancy, just sit back and wait. Soon the truth will come out and you will look like the sister who did a great job ignoring her attempt at AWing.

edited: Totally just realized I posted in the wrong month! Sorry for the random pop-in!

[yelah250]

If people even remember her stupid picture, after you announce your REAL pregnancy, they will think she is copying you. Comment about her food baby and then do what you were going to do anyway.

[kathol]

I agree with previous posts. I'd make a sarcastic or a blatant comment about her fake pregnancy. How very immature of her! I would be beyond annoyed if my sister pulled that stunt. & you're right sending baby off to your parents for summers is a little far off. Hopefully she has her shit together by that time.

[gw3nny]

I'd probably comment, "who's the daddy?" But I'm not the most mature either.

In this story miscarriage = poop.

I'm an older sister, and while I 'get to do everything' first, I would find it really hard to trample on my younger sisters parades.

Not all older sisters are asshats. I'm sorry yours is.

[doctaco]

Post an ultrasound pic. I'd like to see her try to copy that with her lactose-induced gas.

But seriously, this is your OLDER sister? Because she sounds 12.

I actually have an older sister who is a nut job and I reached the point where I had to recognize that it wasn't healthy for me to keep her close. I love her and care about her, but I have to disengage and distance myself to keep from getting hurt. Would your sister be receptive if you reached out to her?

[cgiles120812]

I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I would have called her out on it and I would still announce, I mean for one you are actually pregnant and if someone thinks you are copying her you always have her message she sent you about not being pregnant.

[cch24]

I agree with PP I would make a snide comment validating that she's not actually pregnant. I definitely don't think you're over reacting. This is your time and your news to share, it would be different if she was actually pregnant- but she's not. Unfortunately, my mom is an AW too and posted on FB that that we're having a girl when we hadn't shared with all of our friends or family yet. I didn't feel bad for deleting it and calling her out. Keep your head up, you're the one who will have a brand new baby in a few months and there's nothing your sitter can do to change that. GL!

[babymcdonnell]

I'm sorry I bet that really sucks to have a crazy sister, especially older sister. I'd just be the bigger person and leave it alone. I wouldn't stoop to her level and comment on it or call her out or anything. It'll just bring her more attention and drama, which it sounds like that's what she wants. Just remember it doesn't matter what anyone in Facebook land thinks, all that matters is you'll have your baby soon and everyone you're actually close to will be so happy for you !

[gia03]

Oh yeah that would irritate me! I'm glad to hear she took it down, if she hadn't then I agree with other pp and I would have called her out. Sorry your older sister acts like that, I couldn't imagine. When you make your announcement people won't even remember the little stunt she pulled.

[Byefelecia85]

..this makes me happy to be an only child. No advice, but it sounds like she did that just to get under your skin. Are you planning on publicly announcing soon?

[beachmom15]

You are not overreacting! So sorry you have to go through this!

[3timemom]

That's crazy! I would be so mad at my sister if she pulled some crap like that! At least she took the picture down so hopefully not too many people saw it, plus it will probably be forgotten about by dinner time.

[Deleted]

Oh Oh Oh!!! Make it a life event on your Facebook timeline. It wouldn't be as attention grabbing as your sister and it's something you can always see. And then tag your SO/DH in it as ell.

[laceecaitlyn]

I'm thinking that if that many people liked it and commented, she is going to look like an attention seeking idiot all on her own - even if you weren't pregnant. I would resist the urge to say anything, just ignore it and let your announcement be your own. Just wait a little while or she is going to use yours as an excuse to get more attention for herself, and it should really be about the baby. Sorry she's an asshole.

[Deleted]

That's just odd.....Has she cleared it up yet that she actually is NOT in fact pregnant? Sorry you have to deal with that, but her stupid picture will not take away from your announcement when the time comes. Don't worry about that!

[lindylogana]

That is absolutely super annoying and very AWish. I also agree a sarcastic comment would be amazing to post.

[puppygurl21]

Ugh sorry your dealing with this! I'd be very annoyed too. Your sister actually sounds like mine. If she's anything like mine, everyone already knows she's an attention seeking drama queen and have probably already eye rolled about her picture!

[foolofatook]

Oh, that would piss me off in so many ways! I'm glad you said something to her.
