tell me to f off if this is the wrong place - newbie, forgive me (and maybe tell me where would be better)
I am pregnant with DC2 with my new partner. Ex is a tool but we're very civil and can enjoy DC1 together. I'm pregnant and me and DP have told DC1 who is over the moon. Should I let exh find out from DC1 this weekend? call him to tell him before so that he's prepared for questions? or any other variation?
What do you think? I have general worries about EXH's attitude and am paranoid that he might undermine the positivity that DC1 is feeling but I guess i have to face that if and when it comes to it.

I had this situ recently, I text Ex so I didn't put him on the spot in front of anyone, I said that I thought it was fair to tell him so he didn't find out from anyone else and that the kids were very excited, I also said I ding expect him to reply but for the sake of the children could he not be negative if they mentioned it.

He didn't reply but now I know he knows and we continue to be civil to each other.

thanks Tits. I feel like because it is important to DC1 it is relevant to tell him adult to adult. I'm really hoping he doesn't get weird about it. things have been fine and bordering on friendly (although trust me we'll never be mates) and I hope he doesn't revert to his old negativity.

Natasha I was thinking your way would be ideal but unfortunately he's collecting him straight from school.
