Found out on a friend's wall... that they "liked" a photo from Sister A of Sister B with the baby. Huh? - Louis Gray

The same thing happened with me and my sister's last child. I was a little taken back. - Jesse Stay

That's a little....weird. To say the least. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

Family is so weird. They rushed down to be at my sister's side, but we did our double birth solo last year. (Solo being Kristine and me, of course) No family ever made it to the hospital. - Louis Gray

That always happens to us, not just for babies, too - must be an oldest child thing or something. It irks me to no end. My sister lives the same distance from my parents as when we lived in Virginia and my Mom is at her house every other weekend. We used to have to beg to get her out to our house in Virginia. - Jesse Stay

It's always tough to explain that to the wife - Jesse Stay

If I had known... I would have been at the hospital waiting for the Twins - Johnny Worthington from iPhone

Sorry to hear it, LG. - Spidra Webster

Well congratulations on the new addition and, er, sorry you found out this way. - WorldofHiglet

Johnny, let's just say I can always rely on you. :) - Louis Gray

Congrats, Louis! And, as you say, family's can be weird.. - Andrew Terry

Johnny, you could of cut the cord because Louis didn't want to. - Kristine Gray

I got to catch our 3rd child - caught it, cut the cord and everything. :-P - Jesse Stay

I caught Georgia and cut the cord as well. - Johnny Worthington from iPhone

Kristine, by Australian law, I'd have to say 'CRIKEY, she's a beauty!' ala Steve Irwin for each twin. - Johnny Worthington from iPhone

Didn't want to? Huh? Revisionist history! The docs did it for both and it wasn't discussed. :) - Louis Gray

LOL... I love how Louis just dropped the charge of Revisionist history into this argument. The Aussie equivalant is less diplomatic :) - Johnny Worthington from iPhone

Ha. Of note, my littlest sister cut the cord for the nephew. Now that's odd. :) - Louis Gray

I found out a sister of mine was married this way. - Uncle CW™

Yes, CW - generally when we are married we cut the cord from our parents ;-) (or some do, at least) - Jesse Stay

Louis, you stated from the time I got pg that you didn't want to cut the cord. - Kristine Gray

...breaks out popcorn... - Jesse Stay

Actually social media makes getting together with family so much less dysFUNctional. Great aunt Edna can't be that annoying over the internet as in person. - Kristine Gray

My statement above was that I found out a sister was married on a post on facebook. No notice, no invitation, no nothing. Just a post on Facebook. - Uncle CW™

I'm so glad my wife's not on FriendFeed :-) (she keeps toying with the idea though) - Jesse Stay

That is weird CW. - Kristine Gray

Did the whole family find out that way or just you? - Kristine Gray

Kristine I'm glad you're on though :-) - Jesse Stay

thanks, I should be reading Silent Spring but this is much better - Kristine Gray

The Family in other states... I think.. She had some local family there but swore them to secrecy about it from others. - Uncle CW™

Why the secrecy? - Kristine Gray

I understand wanting a small wedding, but a notice would be nice. I could of sent a gift. - Uncle CW™

No clue. both of them are 18 and he is off to Iraq three days afterwards. Almost sounded like a bad WW2 story. - Uncle CW™

18? wow! - Kristine Gray

Old enough to go through it without parents approvals or anything. - Uncle CW™

so no parents there? - Kristine Gray

Her mom and step dad were there, no idea about the grooms parents. - Uncle CW™

what would we do without families to keep everything interesting? - Kristine Gray

Careful with CW, Kristine. This talk isn't cheap. "Answers: $1, Short answers: $5, Correct answers: $25, Sarcastic comments: Free" So, if he's not charging you, you can't believe it. - Louis Gray

Yeah no biggie. The choices of young adults are what Fox TV shows are made from.. so I guess this is just another story for another episode of Young beautiful rich somethings doing stupid things without thinking. - Uncle CW™

married at 18- yeah, that ALWAYS works out - Kristine Gray

well, i guess sometimes it does - Kristine Gray

I certainly hope the best for them. Honestly do. Its just interesting that its Facebook that was used to announce and not really from them, but from another family member that was there. In the early 1900's being sent a written letter might of caused a similar shock but there would be time to digest the information before writing back and even then it could of been weeks or month that went by before the response would be there. Now with Facebook there is instant results and then they are not a happy ones either. No time to cool down and calmly react as some of my other siblings that found out the same way I did demonstrated. - Uncle CW™

Generally, I'd agree with you, Kristine, that 18 is too early. But my mom was 19 when she married my dad and they've been together 45 years. - Spidra Webster

Gratz and :( all rolled into one. - rowlikeagirl

Jesse has an interesting point. Maybe it IS an oldest child thing. I'm the oldest, and I had my son all alone, with no one there. When my two sisters had their kids, the whole family camped out for hours. Even so, congratulations to Uncle Louis and Aunt Kristine! - Trish R

That is a scratch-your-head-and-go-hmmmm kind of moment. Nonetheless, welcome new little one! - Martha

Maybe this is a son/daughter thing that daughters "need" Mom there more than sons so (and daughter-in-laws have their own Moms)? Family dynamics are always unusual. Hey, when did Kristine join FriendFeed? I've been missing out. - Internet Strategist

hey congratulations LG - Life's Good - Thomas Power

congrats! - Ryan Petty

Awe. Congrats to your family! - H0llywoodWh0re

did you quickly reserve the twitter name? - Allen Stern

I'm sorry you found out that way. Just a touch odd. :( - Yolanda
