  • "AITAH for being irritated wwith my sister after she announced her 4th pregnancy at my baby shower?"

    I'll make this short and "not so sweet." Because the title speaks for itself. It has taken me and my partner 7 years to finally have a baby. All is going well and we're so happy, as
  • is my family, because these last 7 years have been brutal on our mental health. I have a decent relationship with my sister, we're not what I would say is SUPER
  • close or anything, but we're close enough. She already has 3 kids, and it turns out she's now pregnant with her 4th. Which she
  • decided to announce at my baby shower. I was not at all happy that she did that, but that day was not about her.
  • KSC.
  • I congratulated her, because I'm not a total d*ckhead..But I did go quiet with her for the rest of the day to show my disapproval that I didn't appreciate her doing it on
  • THAT day. My mum approached me while I was sorting out food trays in the kitchen with my bestfriend and asked why I was quiet, so I told her why. Her
  • response was her basically telling me to "pay no mind for now and enjoy the day." Which I did, I had a great day, it was lovely. But I wasn't happy with my sister and I
  • wanted my sister to know that by being very "cold shoulder" with her. My sister literally spent the whole time there talking about her pregnancy, and it was so hard to just bite my tongue.
  • I havnt spoken to her for a few days and then she text me last night, "Why are you dodging me? I text back "Why at my baby shower did you feel the need to
  • announce your pregnancy and go on about it the whole time?" She didn't respond. I'm irritated at her for doing it, I'll try over it, sure. But I think my feelings are valid. AITA?
  • Turmeric_Ping NTA. If she has a baby shower, either skip it or ruin it, depending on how evil you feel on the day.
  • isabelleisback NTA she's very attention seeking.
  • messageinthebox NTA. People who use someone else's special occasion to make their own announcements are selfish ah les bent on spotlighting themselves. You shouldn't invite her to any more of your parties to save yourself from her pettiness.
  • Avalove7 NTA. She's quite inconsiderate and stole the show. She could have atleast informed you and seeked your consent before doing anything like that
  • Durchie87 NTA. You weren't even mean to her just ignored her. Then were honest when she asked why. You haven't done anything wrong even though she was extremely rade and thoughtless on your special day. It is even worse with the context of how long you have waited while it is her fourth time.
  • Quiet-Hamster6509 II What you did was selfish and self centred if you want the kudos on your 4th pregnancy, throw your own shower. II NTA
  • CADreamn You're not wrong. She got to have her pregnancy announcement 3 times. You've been struggling for years. And she stole your day. Pretty heartless and selfish of her.
  • Secret_Double_9239 NTA it's a very well known social rule that you don't announce anything as somebody else's celebration unless it is a super amazing gift that you've got in them that you are 1,000,000% sure they will be excited about. Announcing your engagement at somebody else's wedding is a sh move announcing your pregnancy at someone else's baby shower is just so selfish.
  • Night_Angel27 Just make an announcement about everything baby is doing. "Baby Charlie is starting to talk, walk, crawl" etc. ΝΤΑ
