Was this inappropriate or not?

I loathe ExH so find it difficult to be objective as far as he's concerned. DS2 (7) came home from his at the weekend and he started telling me how daddy had told him about how he stopped breathing when we was born, had to be resuscitated and go up to the SCBU. He then added 'but you missed all that because you were asleep'. I had a crash C-section was was under GA not asleep.

Is this inappropriate for a 7 year old to be told or am I letting my rage at ExH cloud my judgement?

I guess it's about the amount of detail he told DS, i.e. that he stopped breathing etc that bothers me , not the fact of telling him anything about the birth at all. The way DS was describing it did not sound age appropriate.

And I'd put money on my ex telling him in a way that makes him the hero, he's definitely got form for this.

I think that's what pisses me off, not the fact that he was told anything.

I think you’re overreacting a little bit, if I’m honest. I would just sit your ds down, and explain it all to him again, in a way that’s honest but understandable and non-scary. Seven is old enough.
