Today, my attention-seeking sister-in-law came to my 20 week ultrasound and afterward, without my knowledge, took it upon herself to announce the gender to Facebook and call the entire family, telling them "we're having a boy" nullifying any need for the announcement I had spent 4 weeks planning.

<p>Make a post of your own announcing the baby's gender and saying that if they heard the baby's gender from anyone else, they violated your privacy and trust by going behind your back to do so.Also, cut her out of the loop as much as possible, and I'd keep an eye out for other actions like this or if she tries to guilt trip you about being mad. Based of just this information, she still sounds like a possible case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I suggest reading about it and making your o

I think this is a sign Op. First--Speak with your husband about not letting the Sil attend events you want to remain private. He should then speak with his sister about her behavior and let her know that she is no longer part of the inner circle of trust. Second??-- Don't take anything she does too seriously because she's a jerk.

Well you did allow her to go to the ultrasound, Should have told her before hand not to say any thing to be sure that she wouldn't. Not defending her, it was a dick thing to do but was she aware about your planned announcement? It sounds like your first child, Congrats. Lot's of fun to come.

Telling someone not to do something doesn't mean that they will listen.

Letting her go with was not giving her right to tell such personal information.

Regardless of your sister-in-laws intentions that's just disrespectful. If she would have stopped and spoken to you for even a moment, she would have known that's not what you wanted. The fact that she failed to communicate with you, but communicated with all of your family really gets me. I think you should still make your own announcement OP! Congrats & good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! (:

I'd be going off on someone if they did that to me. In fact that person most likely would not be apart of the childs life for awhile because of how selfish they are. I hope you and your husband spoke to her and ripped her a new ass hole.

Even if you did allow the sister in law to be there at the ultra sound that does not give her the right to go tell people yours and your husbands child's gender to who ever she wanted. She did it in my opinion to focus attention on herself since you, your husband, and the baby had more attention on you all. She knew what she was doing

I'd have a really hard time trying to forgive that one. Wow.

I would have been livid. i get she may have been excited, but it's up to the parents to announce the sex of the baby. No one else. Period.
