Hi Pals,
First time poster but this has been weighing on my mind lately.
Every Christmas my BF & I send out a Christmas letter to our friends & family with a little summary of career highlights, life changes, & things we participated in.
In this year’s letter we covered trips we took, career highlights, & did one sentence each about 2 siblings weddings we attended along with our news as this year was a big one for us (Bought our first home & found out we are expecting our first child).
One of my partners sisters messaged me expressing she was very hurt & disappointed I did not include the birth of her second child in our letter.
I explained that our letter is about us as a couple & things we actually participated in and while the birth of their second child is fantastic that it isn’t something we felt like sharing since the letter is about us as a couple and that the true highlight for us as a couple is that we are starting our own family.
I told her she could write her own letter moving forward to share her family news but that its not my responsibility to share her families achievements.
So AITA for not including the birth of their second child?
As a side note, we included her wedding the year before & the 2 weddings this year as we were active parts of the wedding.
