Is my sister jelouse?

Question

I have a younger sister (she is 24, I'm 26) and up until I found out I was pregnant we were quite close. We live about 10 miles apart but used to e-mail each other every week and meet at our parents once a week for a family meal but just recently she isnt responding to my e-mails and it seems an effort for her to talk to me. I dont see any reason for jelousy as she has always said she didnt want kids. I dont want our relaionship to tail off like this I love my sister a great deal - should I confront her?

Answer 1

Maybe its not the baby,could you have done something unrelated to that?

Your never going to know unless you ask her.

It could also be that she's not jealous of you having a baby,but that it may come between the two of you.

She will love it to bits when it arrives,good luck with your pregnancy and congratulations xx

of direction it is not any longer undesirable it is in elementary terms organic. i'm almost 27 and that i nevertheless have not had a new child yet and in some situations i'm getting slightly green with envy and that i think like i'm working out of time even though it is merely no longer the ultimate suited time yet and that i be attentive to that. i'm almost waiting yet i've got already raised my sister from new child and now she's over 18 now so it is totally no longer effortless. properly if that's what you like and additionally you're able to do it and have the money for it then get on it. infant fever happens and in some situations having a infant is the only therapy i assume by way of fact i've got had it for a mutually as yet i be attentive to that i'm too ill precise now to conceive a new child so i could extremely wait till my physique is able to take care of yet another existence. it is in elementary terms easy to my destiny babies. stable success to you in despite the fact which you do choose for. yet appreciate your new nephew and be happy which you will stay sleep all night long; it extremely is the stable information!!!

She could be, maybe she can't have kids and has never talked to u about it, or maybe she is afraid u will change after the baby and u won't be as close.. maybe she doesn't like ur partner and u don't know.. she's only human, just coz she's ur sister doesn't mean she shouldn't and won't be envious. some people just tend to be envious and others not..

then again maybe she isn't.. she maybe going through a change in her life, maybe in love with a new partner, maybe just busy...

as u can see it could be anything.. but none of us here will be able to give u the right answer... only she can do that..

definitely confront her, thats the right thing to do. what are u afraid of? maybe it's just your hormones playing up on U at the moment, things probably aren't half as bad as they seem... talk to her, she's the only one who can put u straight!! :)

Answer 4

Why do you think she is jealous? Maybe you did or said some-
thing, that made her feel she bad or uncomfortable. Maybe it has nothing to do with you personally. she could just be reacting to something that was said by the family or another. BUT!
When you ask if you should CONFRONT HER!? I believe you know what it is already and you using the word jealousy is for a reason to blame her for her reaction. You love your sister, so fix it, taking some of the blame to.

Answer 5

If she's always said she didn't want kids, maybe she just feels uneasy about the situation now and doesn't know what to do, what she is supposed to talk with you about... I wouldn't think she is jealous - just confused. It's up to you (who know her well) to make her feel comfortable about your pregnancy and make her realize that despite certain changes you are going through you are the same sister she's been close with. I hope everything is fine with you and your sister soon :)

Answer 6

I'd arrange to meet up for a nice lunch/drink/coffee and just see how she is.

It might be that she's finding it a bit weird to think of you in this new, quite grown-up way, and she could be worried that when you have your baby you won't have so much time for her.

Reassure her that you really need her and you're looking forward to your baby having her as a really cool auntie.

Good luck with the birth!

Answer 7

Don't CONFRONT her, just talk to her like you always have and ask her what is wrong, and why she hasn't been responding to your e-mails or why she won't talk to you and tell you what is eating at her, because she is your sister and you love her and don't want anything to come between you.

Answer 8

hi, yes tell her how you feel, if you can't do it face to face than write a letter, tell her how much you love her and how you need her in your life and how happy you are for her to be an aunt to your baby and what a wonderful job you think she will do, she may feel like you are having an experience she can't possibly understand and may not know what to say to you or act around you pregnancy can be scary to some people, just tell her you need her and miss her and see what she says...good luck with your sister and the baby.

Answer 9

maybe she's changed her mind about wanting kids? i dint want kids and was adamant i wouldnt have any and now i have 3! there must be a underlying issue here, talk to her but dont confront her cos she'll go on the defensive. just tell her you love her and your worried your drifting apart and that you dont want that.

Answer 10

she's maybe thinking that since you're about to have a baby, that'll you all won't be spending that much more time together, and is just trying to get use to it early. I've known people who have done that. Just give her some space and then try to talk to her one on one.
