Hi all,
I'm totally new to this site having only found out 4 days ago that I'm expecting! My partner and I are still in a bit of a daze but want to do things right (as much as possible!).
I am a stepmum to 3 children (2 girls aged 4 and 6 and a boy aged 8) they live with us on alternate weekends. My partner is now civil with his ex but we feel the news of our baby could blow this out of the water!
His ex has been known on more than one occasion to be rather selfish and put her feelings before the childrens.
So basically if anyone could give me some advice or point me in the right direction of books, articles, etc. on how to explain the new addition to the children in the right way and dealing with ex who I worry may not help out the children should they have any questions or confusion.
Many thanks in advance!
