In my immediate family? My cousin & my nephew just had babies, but no one told me. 2 new births in the family. Also, when my OWN twin sister got pregnant, I was the last one to find out, & I had to hear from other sources. & she said her kids' births are none of my business. I mean, do I NOT have the right to be informed of new family members or who died? & when my oldest sister died, no one told me, & I couldn't even go to the funeral. I was one of the last ones to find out about her death. I never got to meet her in person because me & my twin sister & some brothers were taken away into foster care.
I'm 24 now. Why would my brother inform my former foster mom about my sister's death before me? & she didn't even give me the message. My twin sister was raped & my former foster mom didn't tell me. I overheard her telling HER family members.

You have a right to know what's going on your family, when it pertains to births and deaths.

It's hard when family members are strung out for what ever reason. But if you want to stay informed, sometimes you have to go the extra mile. become a part of the family or arrange for family member to get to know each other. None of the siblings in my family lived together, We came together when we were old enough to be out on our own, and we do keep in touch and we can check our 360 to see what's happening even though we don't live near by one another.

There must be more to the history of these things. Have you had turmoil in the past that would preclude them from telling? Usually people dont tell if they are afraid of problems starting. So I dont know what happened between you and each one of them in the past but try to reflect on it and see if there was anything you did that could have made them not want to tell you. Did you act hurtful or in a manner they wouldnt like? If not and you were always gracious, then they are all weird and you should be glad to not associate. But as I mentioned, if there were anything you could have done better then start today. Send a card or gift ( memorial card or baby gifts to the new babies) That might start a better time to come I hope

No , its not childish for you to think that. You have the right to know these things, they're important. Have a talk with your sister and your brother, asking why they didn't say anything. Tell them how you feel and how hurt you are. The best thing to do with these problems is to open up and say something.

Of course it is not childish to feel hurt by this type of behavior. I think any normal person would be very hurt by this. I am sorry your family acts this way. Sometimes we have to rise above our families.

curiously this individual replaced into bringing his very own subject concerns into this. there's a kin member in his existence to whom he does not communicate through fact of a prior concern. this does not propose that it is the comparable on your loved ones. He easily could have been attempting to respond to the question yet could not help brining his very own subject concerns into it. i does not checklist it basically through fact i don't probable think of it extremely is your type. basically choose the effective suggestion and overlook with reference to the rest.

no, its not childish. you have the right to know when there's a new birth or death, especially in your family.

WHAT? You never got to go to your SISTER'S funeral? that 's wrong...just wrong. It' s not childish.
But as for a reason....maybe you family's snubbing you because your "sick" and therefore "bad" (not quotes. I dont' think that way, as i have issues too)

It is not childish, for you feel ignored and neglected over it.
"Am I a part of this family or not?"

not childish at all, i believe that its also your concern to know such important events of your immediate family, try to talk to them heart to heart and tell them how you feel
