As of 2 days ago I'm now an uncle. Bro and SIL had a bubs.
Will be interesting to see how the dynamic plays out from here.
Ol' boy bankrolled and organised the whole thing (IVF + the rest) as he was in an adjacent field. Ol' boy and girl went in to see her and bubs yesterday and SIL didn't let them see it lol.
It's her bubs and she has every right to dictate what happens but having the p's mention that 5 (!) times within the space of an hour I'm finding it odd. I don't know what the etiquette is really. There are no issues b/w them and her or bro so I'm not sure what to make of it.
This lady sounds like a manipulative control freak, and will use her baby as a tool to control your brother and your parents further, if not drive a bigger wedge between them.
Beware.
I think you're absolutely right.
Gonna keep my distance a bit heh.
