cousin fell pregnant with her second baby. My family were mostly ok with me telling them what I was planning to do, but not overly supportive/encouraging. After my cousin announced her pregnancy, EVERYBODY in the family started buying her gifts, asking about her ultrasounds, etc. Nobody has shown any interest in my adoption. The popular 'excuse' is "we don't know if it's a girl or a boy, and the age". I agree on the girl/boy thing, but plenty of people buy for a baby not knowing the sex, right? And I've requested a child between 2 and 4. That's not a huge age difference. Plus, I've told everyone many times that I'm buying a whole bunch of stuff, they could have asked me for a couple of ideas from what I planned to buy? Am I being petty, or do you think it's fair to feel upset? I don't want anything major, just a stuffed toy, or a washcloth from a dollar store, anything to say they care!
