Hellobee Boards

I feel bad that I feel this way...my nephew was 10 days old at my wedding, and I kind of felt like a lot of my family was all about him. I think I'm more sad that my sister wasn't there for most of it because of nursing, although I was super super super happy for her and I love him to bits, I just wish she could have been there with me more.

ETA: I got engaged two weeks before my cousin's wedding. I did my best not to talk about it to anyone there because it was him and his wife's day and I just didn't want to do that.

I don't think so or maybe I didn't notice? I don't really care about my thunder being stolen!

don't think so!

My SIL announced she was pregnant with #2 a week after me. It's cool that the cousins are so close in age, though.

My poor sister.... Her birthday has been ruined for 5 years in a row! I'd certainly say her birthday thunder has been stolen

@MrsRoo: That's horrible that she announced at your shower! I would have been so pissed.

Sort of...one of my good friends that graduated with me attended my college grad party. When my parents were saying there speeches my dad threw it to her parents to say speeches as well. Later my friend made a comment the party was like hers too except she didn't have to pay for it. I know that irked my mom.

@Sugar.Biscuit: @Mrs. Jump Rope: yea, she wanted to announce to the family in person and they were already all together, so.... I didn't even have to get pissed. My other cousins did that for me

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: wow. That would annoy me too!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: I'd definitely be irked by that, too!

this sounds really, really petty, and I would never hold this against her or even say anything about it to her, but my mom lost quite a bit of weight before my wedding and while it was wonderful for her--she's much healthier now--there were a couple people at my wedding who commented on her weight loss to me rather than congratulating or complimenting me. Or maybe it was just this one friend of my mom's who I don't like very much anyway, haha...

I stole my brother's thunder once--my bat mitzvah was on his 16th birthday. he was very gracious about it though! haha. plus it wasn't my fault, my parents scheduled it because it was the only date that happened to work

Yes. My SIL has done it to me multiple times. Probably most notably, she displayed a slideshow of her wedding at my shower.

I also had a "friend" who always undermined everything I did, or did everything she could to keep the spotlight on her at all times. We haven't been friends for years (she was hardly ever friendly at all).

@pui: that's crazy! My family would've shut that down immediately. What did your family say?

After dating my now husband for 7 years, we got engaged in January and planned an October wedding. When I called my brother to tell him I was engaged, he told me he was happy for me and he was going to propose to his girlfriend (of 9 months). He proposed to her in February and they got married in June.

I don't like being center of attention so I wouldn't mind it. I guess you could say maybe someone stole los thunder by announcing her pregnancy at los birthday party.... But people still paid tons of attention to lo so it wasn't a big deal to me.

My younger sister *tried* to make my wedding about her pregnancy. She wanted everything to be about her (she didn't want us to serve chicken as an option because she thought it would make her sick) seriously ...finally my other sister told her to shut her lips and realize this isn't about her. I about cut her out for awhile! haha she was annoying.
