I recently got a new bloke after 6yrs with the last 1. His brother and his wife are brilliant- she is everything i'd always wanted as a mate and like the sister i'd never had. Was so looking forward to holidays as a 4, parties, family events etc. She is 25 like me. I recently met my new bloke (Shane)'s parents. Theyre v posh and judgemental and i was so worried, but pleased he wanted me to meet them. Anyway at the dinner they arranged for the purpose to meet me, Shane's sis-in-law announced she's pregnant. With twins. I was so upset- it may sound selfish but that was MY night, not hers! Now all i EVER hear is about HER and her pregnancy- you'd think she was the 1st woman to ever be pregnant! I'm so upset- i'm resentful of her and the pregancy, i feel we have nothing in common now and that i'm not included in the family- she is their number1 priority now, I don't even figure. Shane's parents aren't interested in me (nor is he when he's with them) and i feel so hurt! What can i do?

when you become pregnant, you will understand why she wants to talk about it all the time. she is excited and its probably one of the biggest things to ever have happened to her.

Nothing but be patient and tolerant and thankful. The flip side of this situation is 'When are you going to have a baby?' Babies bring out the wierd in everyone. She's very excited about having a kid, good for her. You and your new man haven't been together for very long so including you in the family may be premature for them, which if this situation had happened during your last relationship people would probably be needling you to get married and start a family. If it works out with you and your new beau, maybe the family will come around. But please remember, in 10 months everything will be different. The cute part of having a baby is only about 5% of the whole package, the other 95% is very hard work.

I can understand your desire to be liked and accepted by your boyfriend's family. In my opinion the only way to do this is to conduct yourself with class and grace and be truly happy for these people. This is your position - accept it.

I think you are making a big deal out of nothing.

you have to broaden your horizon. of course the attention is to
her because she is pregnant and pregnant women should always be cared for and love more because of her present condition
