Can't help but feel a tiny bit annoyed/disappointed at the moment. I know its nothing major to complain about but you know when something just irks you??

Last night my sister walked into the living room and before she sat next to me she said "youve got bigger since yesterday" which is an ok thing to say. I just replied with that I knew and couldn't wait to have the baby and get back into shape. She made some reference to my stomach and when I said I would definitely get back into shape she just screwed he face up and walked off. Mum says she is jealous because she has been told for the past 2 years to lose weight by the doctor and hasn't bothered. She'll do 10 mins exercise once in a blue moon and then eat two trays of chocolate brownies.

Then today we are all meant to be going for a family lunch to celebrate the 30 week mark, just for fun really and as I haven't heard from FOB in over a month now it was something to lighten the mood and signal moving on. She has been right as rain all morning and suddenly isn't coming anymore. Apparently she took 10 puffs of her inhaler this morning and now has the shakes... I just find it odd that on all these important dates [to me] they are made about her. At 23 and 24 weeks we were meant to have a family meal but both weeks the food went cold as she was late back from her therapy session and just boasted the whole time about how her meds have gone up.

I sound jealous and I know that is a nasty trait in itself but for one little moment I would like something to be positive about this pregnancy and it seems if it is not FOB then it is my sister. I have told her I don't want her at the birth because of her dramatics and she keeps making suggestions shes going to be there anyway.

I am just fed up with her self destructive attitude, the fact she revels in her own drama and how everyone seems to dance to her tune because she threatens to top herself.

.... bitter rant over.

LEave her to it hun, the attention isnt on her and she is trying to ruin your pregnancy

dustbunny -- every day it's some other drama with this drama queen, growl! Go to the 30th week dinner and enjoy yourself! (I promise not to use any more !)....and then, ignore her from now on -- she isn't worth the time and emotion -- it's time for you to focus on yourself and baby (and two trays of chocolate brownies? yummy!)....

best wishes

It sounds like she's actually jealous of you. Some people just crave all of the attention and I don't think you should be feeling bad for wanting a positive environment. Just let her do her drama queen thing and take some deep breaths. The more you focus on her, the more it will bother you. This is about you right now and I'm sure the rest of your family realizes that.

It sounds like she's jealous about the attention your getting. She's probably feeling insecure too about a baby coming along, how it's going to affect her relationship with you and behaving like a child in order to get some attention. It might be worth while indulging her selfishness a little bit - maybe try to spend some more time just the two of you, confiding in her about something or giving her a specific task to feed her ego like choosing you shampoo to take to the hospital (you can't really go wrong with that..) if she's still being a pain then just ignore her till she grows up, it's a tiring and stressful time for you and one you should be let to enjoy!

I thought the past couple of days it had improved, we were talking yesterday quite well etc. Today was my first proper shift at work and when I came back mum wanted to talk about it and my sister was so so quiet the whole time. When she went up to her room mum told me that my sister was feeling down again today and not very happy but her therapist phoned her and she said she was fine so they discharged her and now shes upset shes been discharged. I am soooooooooooo confused about what the hell is going on now.

Am eating a muffin at the moment!! Ha to calories!!

yeah deffo sounds like she is jealous and is making sure you dont get attention you deserve and need right now
she sounds like a real bitch to me sorry :-/ i would just ignore her and carry on as you were just pretend she isnt there lol
