help! i am probably being too sensitive-you think?

am i being crazy? for mother's day my sister is giving my mom a collage of pics of all the grandchildren- her kids and my 2 brothers kids. one of them was born 3 days ago. i am due in about a month. do you think i am being too sensitive about my baby not being included b/c she is not here yet? my DH thinks its very rude of them and is pressuring me to say something to my sister! i never like confrontation! do you think i am justified? thanks so much for any advice offered!

Re: help! i am probably being too sensitive-you think?

Just make a collage for her when your baby gets here. Or ask your sister to include a sonogram or two of yours.

She really can't include your baby if she isn't here yet!! And I think that is fine for her to make a collage if that's what she wants to do.

Can you ask your sister to leave a space in the frame for you to give your mom a photo of your child once the baby is born?

i know.. you're right .... and those are very good suggestions- thank you. i am so sorry that i even said anything to DH! it's probably my hormones i can blame those these days!

Re: help! i am probably being too sensitive-you think?

Maybe a bit sensitive. I understand being dissapointed but Mother's Day is here before you little one. You can make albums and give lots of pics once your baby is here!

Re: help! i am probably being too sensitive-you think?

I am queen of sensitive so I can see why it might sting a little but I agree Mothers day is here before your day unfortunately.
If it wont be a sore spot to speak to your sister then do so this way no one's feelings get hurt!

Re: help! i am probably being too sensitive-you think?

I don't think that anything was done intentionally but it is odd timing for the making of a collage. Now you have an excuse to make one that is exclusively of your baby.

Re: help! i am probably being too sensitive-you think?

either have her set a space aside...

or Give your father a collage for fathers day

Re: help! i am probably being too sensitive-you think?

And what about babies that your sister or brother are yet to have? And your second child that hasn't been conceived yet? I think that you are being too sensitive. It would be pretty tough to include a baby that isn't outside yet, and as much as you love it, the sonogram just looks like a hurricane to everyone else!

Re: help! i am probably being too sensitive-you think?

Honestly, I think you're being too sensitive. The baby isn't here yet - what would you like your SIL to do? Are you hoping that she delays the gift until your little one arrives? I really don't think that is fair.

Re: help! i am probably being too sensitive-you think?

i agree you all- you are all right- it was a moment and i let it become something bigger. i'm usually not this sensitive and totally know that my sister isn't doing this to be rude or anything. i am definitely hormonal and i thank you all for helping me put it into perspective!

Re: help! i am probably being too sensitive-you think?

i understand the hormones - I think that it would be fine to just say to you sister - that's a great idea- can you leave a little space so we can add a picture? I don't think that would be rude at all - since she is including your brother's kids as well

Re: help! i am probably being too sensitive-you think?

Re: help! i am probably being too sensitive-you think?

I agree, just ask her if you could put a sonogram pic in there, or a pic of you and your bump. I don't think that's rude at all.

She may not have thought of it at all.

Re: help! i am probably being too sensitive-you think?

I would say to leave a space with a cute drawn picture of your baby to be inserted after the baby is born...Honestly that would mean the most to your mom...
