Today, my brother and his girlfriend decided to tell my family that they got engaged and my entire family was so happy for them and we're skyping them for hours. Today was also my 18th birthday.

I'm going to be down voted, but to be honest you have lots of birthdays, as long as you celebrate at some point, does it really matter? Most people celebrate their birthdays on the nearest weekend anyways. It sucks but try to be happy for them, most people only get engaged once.

Look at you, getting up voted instead :þ

Yesterday was my birthday too OP, my family went out to dinner without me. I know how it feels to get overshadowed by siblings, but I promise you, it doesn't last forever!

Did they completely forget your birthday? I think it's pretty unacceptable to be honest. They're your family. If they can celebrate your brother's engagement then they should be able to celebrate your birthday. Hopefully they have something planned this weekend? Sorry OP, it's not nice to be ignored on what I feel is quite an important day. But congrats to your brother and Happy Birthday

Maybe it's the only time your family would be gathered together and they were happy and proud? Maybe just be happy for them too
