My youngest brother is 2 months younger than my oldest son. How's that!? Okay, just trying to make you laugh a bit. It is true though! At least I really love her. But it is hard that I don't have family that can ever come help with our kids because my dad went and had two more kids after my mom died because they have all the same things going on that we do. You know?<BR/><BR/>*sigh*<BR/><BR/>family sucks. well, sometimes.....Scoutjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178220856730339890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3148277600884232885.post-52019891633582282722008-02-20T08:50:00.000-06:002008-02-20T08:50:00.000-06:00Sorry about the news.

My little brother (20 at the time) got his on again off again girlfriend (who was on methadone to treat her former heroin habit) pregnant and decided to tell us while I was in the 2WW from IVF. She was due 4 weeks before me and our boys are less than 2 weeks apart (my nephew is older). <BR/><BR/>It sucked, a lot, but now that time has passed, it's not a big deal. I like that my boys have a cousin so close in age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3148277600884232885.post-46927938871080583272008-02-20T06:17:00.000-06:002008-02-20T06:17:00.000-06:00Once again, we have the same story.While in hospit...Once again, we have the same story.<BR/><BR/>While in hospital for my last hospitalization just before the twins were born, I found out my "live by Mom and college/home/cars/wedding paid for by Mom and Dad sister 7 years my junior" was also pregnant. With twins. Courtesy (we believe) of fertility drugs which my unemployed sister is crazy enough to be on (as we have no twins in the family anywhere, and she was desperate for another.) This, after having the family's first grandbaby/great-grandbaby already and beating me to that one. <BR/><BR/>It's irrational, but I know exactly how you feel. It's like the specialness of it all somehow lost its edge, which it shouldn't. It's funny-it's the one time in life when you are a center of the family's attention and you want that attention, and then to have it divided and stolen feels unfair somehow, which is in itself a shitty thing to feel.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like you two are drifting apart. In my experience the arrival of babies and hurt feelings has completely and irretrievably destroyed the relationship between us. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, while at the same time it sounds like your hurt, sadness, and to some degree resentment needs to be discussed.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry April. Email me if you'd like because I really, really know how you feel.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236724715757740367noreply@blogger.com
