I just want to hurt someone real bad, because I am hurt.

 

I am still feeling sore that the family took 3 weeks to inform us the birth of the second BIL(EH)'s child. Hubby, the third son, in the family was not informed of the gender, exact dob and health. What's up with that?

 

Not that we care a lot for the couple or their newborn. We don't.

However, I cannot help but take offense that this'd happened.

 

What caused the delay? Was there a fear involved? Are we expected not to recognize the newborn because we don't know the name and gender? For that, the evil side of me says 'oh yeap'.

 

When a baby is born here, news spread fast among immediate family members and friends. Photos are taken and sent to affiliates in the form of cards. The name, dob, weight, and gender are proudly announced.

 

It is very hard for me to understand how we are not informed of such. Are they double-guessing me, the dil, and their own son? I know I am unpredictable. However, this is simply rude and disrespectful. It is close to insult. This is outrageous.

 

So, by right, I am supposed to forgive and forget? I am supposed to step back, and see a wider sea and clearer sky (chinese idiom)?

 

Don't you wish you were oceans away from families?
