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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1009467 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 08:12:17 +0000 mediagirl 1009467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: not super close but not strangers, either. It really hurt my feelings but he didn't seem to see anything wrong with it. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1009335 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:13:37 +0000 heffalump 1009335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1009328 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:09:19 +0000 mrbee 1009328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Oh man!! Are you guys close? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1009320 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:06:11 +0000 mediagirl 1009320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1009310 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:58:52 +0000 pui 1009310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Nobody said anything except my dad who was pretty upset about it. I guess everyone else just went with the flow?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1009308 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:57:33 +0000 swedishfish 1009308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: that's crazy! My family would've shut that down immediately. What did your family say? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1009295 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:43:29 +0000 mrbee 1009295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: dang! What in the world?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1009294 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:42:16 +0000 pui 1009294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My SIL has done it to me multiple times. Probably most notably, she displayed a slideshow of her wedding at my shower.</p> <p>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). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1009165 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 01:42:33 +0000 .twist. 1009165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try motto think of "thunder stealing" because it seems childish to me. BUT, if im being completely honest about my feelings, my brother-in-law has always had a competitiveness with DH. When he found out DH proposed, he sold a few of his rings and proposed to his girlfriend 2 weeks after DH proposed to me. </p> <p>They have no plans of getting married any time soon either and DH and I have been marrie for 2 years and were engaged for 2 as well.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1009155 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 01:01:26 +0000 nana87 1009155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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...</p> <p>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 ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1008896 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:51:03 +0000 googly-eyes 1008896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so! I don't usually like the "thunder" though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1008893 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:50:05 +0000 MrsRoo 1008893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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 ;)</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: wow. That would annoy me too!</p> <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I'd definitely be irked by that, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1008832 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:25:54 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1008832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I thought of something! </p> <p>Not really steal my thunder, per se, but this irked me to no end a d I haven't forgotten about it :(</p> <p>I introduced a friend to her now-husband. They, along with friends parents attended our wedding. Her parents signed our wedding guest book "thank you for introducing friend to boyfriend!!" </p> <p>Uhh how about a freaking congratulations or something? Geeze. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1008810 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:18:41 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1008810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1008794 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:11:51 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1008794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: that would upset me that she announced at your shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1008789 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:11:05 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1008789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: That's horrible that she announced at your shower!

He proposed to his gf on say night, Dh proposed to me Sunday morning, so when we called my parents to tell them, they told us first about my brothers engagement! Neither of us are big thunder people so we were just excited for each other, and it was a good binding thing for me and sil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1008772 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:06:36 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1008772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My poor sister.... Her birthday has been ruined for 5 years in a row! I'd certainly say her birthday thunder has been stolen :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1008755 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:00:50 +0000 MrsRoo 1008755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: haha, thank goodness I reread it before I posted.

I had a close cousin and my brother get engaged 2 weeks after us (not engaged to each other- two separate engagements, lol!) just before Christmas.When the family got together, no one wanted to hear our engagement story or see our pics because we were "old news". Then the same cousin announced she was pregnant at my baby shower. :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1008718 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 19:48:44 +0000 Andrea 1008718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so or maybe I didn't notice? I don't really care about my thunder being stolen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1008653 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 19:12:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1008653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I have had some people take credit for things I did and it upset me. To be fair I don't think they meant to, but everyone was thinking it was all her... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1008652 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 19:12:19 +0000 babycanuck 1008652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1008650 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 19:11:26 +0000 autumnlove 1008650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so but I think I stole my SIL's when I told her I was pregnant with number #2. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-stole-your-thunder#post-1008648 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 19:10:32 +0000 Rubies 1008648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For anything? </p>
