Make a post of your own announcing the baby's gender and saying that if they heard the baby's gender from anyone else, they violated your privacy and trust by going behind your back to do so.Also, cut her out of the loop as much as possible, and I'd keep an eye out for other actions like this or if she tries to guilt trip you about being mad. Based of just this information, she still sounds like a possible case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I suggest reading about it and making your o
OWn call, because Narcissists aren't good for kids to grow up around and can even be actively dangerous. Most people that are "attention seeking" have the predisposition for behavior that is dangerous to themselves and everyone around them.
Requiring constant admiration
Having a sense of entitlement
Expecting unquestioning compliance with your expectations
Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner
Also, narcissism IS inherently bad. It isn't just arrogance or confidence.
No jokes. I'd be fuming!! And not pregnant woman hormone fuming!
Sorry OP :(. Your sister in law is a heartless bitch. Ps. It's your baby, not hers or "ours". What nerve.
Is this a joke or is it really a cultural thing/tradition of your country?
I'd really like to know because where I am from we get to know the gender this way:
1. NO WAY
(Because the parents want to surprise everyone -sometimes even themselves- after birth.
And sometimes they just don't want to hear "Oh, just a boy/girl...I was hoping for *other gender*)
2. THEY JUST TELL
(If you ask, they tell you what they are having.Sometimes they tell you "Hey, last examination made sure we'll have a boy/girl" if they love to tell things from their pregnancy.
That's it.
Not really an announcement, so I'd love to hear what kind of thing you were planning.
And of course I agree with the other posters:
No-one should tell private things right out of the doctor's office without asking if you want them to.
Plainly rude!
Always remember this day if you're sis in law might have something "intimate" she'd love to keep to herself...
(Come on, it was a dick move and you don’t need to be the "greater/better person".
REVENGE!)
I have to admit this sounds nice (I thought announcement meant something very formal).
Ok, you had me by mentioning cake :-)
Perhaps it will get popular here, too.
(Games with eating baby food...*tremble*)
Ok, now I learned 2 things!
Perhaps it is that celebrating before birth is considered bad luck here but here you just get small presents after birth.
Sometimes (more in the country side) there is a biiiiig party after birth (Babypinkeln= baby peepee/ baby piss) where mostly men drink A LOT!
It's really funny how things differ around the world.
(And I have to admit I was quite happy not to call much attention to my pregnancy and nearly was too tired for the birth annoncement cards - some people send fabulous things, and we just sent a picture with name/date--- not much of an eye catcher...)
