Who else has Thanksgiving drama? I can’t be the only one. Let’s see if you can top this… My boyfriend was going to propose to me in front of my family at Thanksgiving. He told his friend, who is my sister’s boyfriend. Well, apparently, my sister got news of this, and she decided to take the spotlight and tell everyone she was pregnant…even though the original plan was to tell them at Christmas. We even got cute ornaments made for her. She has a history of trying to take the spotlight from me, and it’s so annoying. My boyfriend ended up proposing to me later that night and told me about my sister and her boyfriend told her. I kinda just needed to vent. Thanks for listening.

My sister was jealous of me being pregnant so she stole my son’s babybook that has ultrasounds in it to act like she was pregnant during the holidays a couple years back.
sister’s can be trash and act on jealousy.

I see what your sister was doing but ah well. She’s pregnant, yay. You’re engaged yay. Vent away but let that ish go because being the bigger person might be tough but it’s definitely more rewarding because you won’t care about juvenile things like that.
Congestions.

You can either listen to what I’m gunna say or not.
Live and enjoy the biggest moments in private.
No need for an audience to propose. No need for an audience to announce a pregnancy, no need for an audience to reveal the gender of your baby.
It’s nice to share the big news with the people we love, whether they are family or friends, but if are the kind of person that loves attention, you won’t get to enjoy those private moments with your future husband.
This way you decide what kind of energy you want around your news.

Congratulations to both of you 
I mean why do you both need your own spotlight? Be the bigger person and be happy for her & happy for your fiancé and you & move on, let it be known to her that you’re not letting her get to you.

Can I just say both are extreme blessings. You have a new niece or nephew on the way and brand new fiance who loves you and is obviously “team you”. I think in the midst of things it can be easy to spot the negative but hunny you are blessed beyond measure to 1) have a healthy family to celebrate holidays with, 2) Have found a man in your corner that supports you and is going to make you his wife to build a life with, 3) Have a sister to be angry at who is around and 4) have a new baby in the family. Ignore the rest and Congratulations love!! On both

Welp, you’re winning in life. She probably needs to make herself feel special because she knows everyone likes you better. (And she knows your a better person)

Also, the day she gives birth, go to the court house and get married.

That’s toxic behavior. I had a “best friend” that was the same way, and it was only because she was jealous of me she always tried to one up me. I cut that b*tch off and life has been better since. My advice? Your fiancé shouldn’t tell his friend anything since that’s your sister’s boyfriend also. Unless you want your sister legit knowing all of your business. Congratulations on your engagement!

Want to top that, when I was 14 my mother bought a case of peaches for a darn good price, I made 5 peach pies for Thanksgiving, my brother who was 17 had a stomach virus before the holiday meal started, he ate 5 of those pies, half a turkey, about 5 pounds of mashed potatoes some ham and more. This was in 1987, (I will never make another peach pie again) up until 4 years ago he told the story of how my pies made him sick and would do everything to make me cry each and every family get together I stood up for myself my mother chewed me out, my now ex fiance threatened to beat the crap out of my brother for being such a jerk. I was the bad person for blowing my top and telling my brother off for being such a big jerk. This brother now 50 is living with mom who is disabled does not help around the house, no income not even disability, he is unable to work but won’t do what the doctors tell him to do so he can get disability.
So yah many families suck, and like to ruin holidays.

well then you know what get over it and start doing the holidays with just you and your family and not the rest of the family. That’s what I do and that’s what I’ve done for a few years now. those other family members ain’t worth it if they’re just going to ruin your holiday I can promise you that! Honestly your family problems don’t belong on Facebook to begin with and other people’s opinions dont matter only yours! also if everybody has an exciting announcement to make then let everybody out their Spotlight not just you you know what I mean. If they steal the spotlight from you who cares okay like apparently it’s not that important to everybody else anyways you know what I mean lol you know I didn’t really have a great Thanksgiving either but I sure wasn’t on Facebook talking about it because it’s nobody’s business. and it definitely isn’t the whole world business to read and give me all their opinions and negative comments and everything else on. that’s not real respectful to your family or your husband if you post your business to the world anyways. I learned that 10 years ago and I was posting my business on Facebook like that and I stopped!!! Okay so you had a bad Thanksgiving okay let’s move on water under the bridge try to make Christmas better but maybe you ought to think about just doing the holidays with just you and your little family that way your holidays doesn’t get ruined. I don’t cook for my family or nothing anymore they can all cook for themselves and have a happy holiday! That’s less food I have to make and less dishes anyways and less drama!! I don’t do that family drama no more it’s stupid and pointless and pathetic! they can keep their drama and their little drama bubble if they want to but they don’t need to burst it and bring it over here!!! I don’t even do girlfriend drama okay if you’re my friend and you bring drama to my house and you bring boyfriend drama and problems there’s the door goodbye I don’t need it. Same thing I’ve told my family there’s the door goodbye I don’t need your crap!!! you need to work on being the bigger person and just forgetting the point that the other person stole the spotlight okay and 10 years down the road that’s not even going to matter anymore because it’s going to be water under the bridge all that’s going to matter is the kids and school and life!!! you know smiling and waving and telling them to have a nice day and that you’re praying for them usually ps them off so bad they don’t want nothing to do with you. I just started smiling at my neighbor yesterday and I was like okay prayers to you dude. he just went on in the house and left me alone! all I can say is you need to worry about you and she needs to worry about herself and that’s the way it needs to be and that’s what I usually tell people you know you can go over there and worry about yourself and all of your problems and then I’ll go over here and I’ll worry about mine.

Take the spotlight and announce at Christmas that you’re engaged😊
I think proposing is a personal private thing anyway. But u can still get ur thunder back.
Maybe he shouldn’t of told u that he was going to propose infront of the family and you wouldn’t feel bad or less importance of it.
I have a sister like that and well they don’t change. So next time just don’t tell anyone until the moment comes.

I’m sorry but I have to say this, but u can take ur sister’s family announcement as "drama"that stole spotlight from you or as a “blessing” that gives u either a niece or nephew to love n cherish, it’s ur decision to make about how u want perceive the whole situation w/ ur sister, whichever one you decide to choose will determine what kind of person u r, just like like how ur sister showed what type of person she is truly 
P.s it’s ok to the spotlight w/ someone sometimes

I’m sorry. This reminds me of a wedding I attended of my husband’s friend. The maid of honor not only photobombed the wedding pictures (and played it off as haha I’m so quirky and crazy), but her boyfriend of 6 months proposed to her at the wedding and she posted about it on Facebook before any wedding posts could go up. I felt so bad for the bride like who does that to someone they care about? People who aren’t toxic are happy to give someone else their moment

Girl fuck your sister, she’s a toxic bitch she literally could have waited and kept her original plan but instead had to say something knowing the attention would be on you. I wouldn’t put it past her to try and make your wedding about her either or make it as difficult for you as she can. I’d be very careful about including her in your wedding party (I personally would not, but I’m not you ) , people like that are nothing but drama. I’d honestly say fuck the ornaments and if you haven’t announced your engagement, do it at Christmas. But congratulations, love 
I’m petty, make sure she’s just a bridesmaid. 
Or, give her the wrong date. If she couldn’t let you get engaged, imagine what she’ll do on your wedding day.

Yeaaaahhh this is about family drama. People dying and illness is not drama and if it is there is something wrong with ya’ll. Second of all, telling her she “should feel lucky” is petty.

My personal opinion is that the proposal was to you and that’s that. Something’s been happening more and more often, like “having to do intimate things in front of people”…maybe younger people are prone to “get it on media by having an audience”. Why’d he “tell” anyone before “you”? Not saying he’s arrogant, just people doing things differently these days…seems like too much for entertainment.
I think your sister’s been a needy little brat, though, if she/and the dad actually “announced early” just to steal your thunder.

If that happens to me I’ll be happy for my sister… that is what Thanksgiving means is to be thankful and to celebrate what we have. Especially right now, we can’t really tell who’s gonna be with us. They can be with us right now but in the next few weeks they’re forever gone. Time is really valuable.
Kinda similar thing happen to us years ago. My eldest sister graduated college and then my middle sister’s son christening, my dad threw a party for them together to save money.
