Tell me if this is irrational 😬
So I just want some other opinions on this..
My husband and I found out about a month ago that we are expecting our first child and we are over the moon! We were super excited and decided to tell our close family and friends almost immediately and made them all promise not to say anything until we make our own “public announcement”. Wellllll, my husbands parents and little sister (12 yo) did not do that. They told other family members, co workers, friends, and his little sister even posted it on a social media source? We were super ticked off and basically told them we felt super disrespected and upset they would tell OUR good news like after specifically telling them to keep it a secret until we were ready to announce. There was an overreaction from them and they acted like we were the enemies…. Are we being irrational? How do we stop this from happening in the future?

It would have been harmless if they shared but they specifically knew not to. You both asked them to respect your wishes of privacy and they didn’t. They are in the wrong.
You're not overreacting. They're clearly wrong and know it too, they just need to twist it on you so they're not seen as the bad ones. Moving forward they unfortunately find out important news at the same time as everyone else. They clearly can't be trusted to know beforehand.

Usually just say this news once you know the gender not earlier, even when I wanted to share during the NY my father told me just keep to yourself and tell us only once it is actually visible and you have got a belly. People don't care, they want to share, it is happiness, but in the future if you have the 2one, just keep it to yourself and share when you are ready, not immediately 🥰wish you all the best and lots of love, take care, very exciting moment for you
