Because I did think it would be nice if his dad had bothered to tell him he had a new baby brother.
Ds hasn't seen his dad for three weeks now because their baby was due. His dad said he could stay but if his gf went into labour I must be prepared to pick ds up. Well I cant, because I cant drive and have dd to think of, he knows this. So I said we'd maybe forget it for a couple of weeks.
Exp has been very distant since. Ignoring his phonecalls etc. Finally today he answered his phone. Ds asked if the baby was here yet and his dad said "oh yeah, she had it Sunday".
Ok, I know they've been busy. But he has not been in the hospital every minute of every day. He has seen our phonecalls, would it really have been too much trouble for him to call ds back and tell him about the new baby? When I had mine my mum called all our family and friends (gave her a big list of numbers). I would have thought his dad would have called him to tell him the news, he is 11 after all.
But no. Apparently not. He is totally excluded, like their new family is none of his business.
