Am very cross. Mil has told ds I am pregnant.

[SweetCharlotteRose]

I'm only 9 weeks. Ds is 6. I wanted him to hear it from us and not until I was a bit further on and had had my scan.
I wasn't there but apparently ds was asking for an ice lolly and she said something along the lines of (according to dh), 'you'll have to learn to wait a minute when mummy has her baby.'

We've been trying for this baby for three years. Aibu to have wanted to tell ds myself with dh?! I didn't want to make it a particularly big deal of it either as am aware ds has been an only for a long time and is not especially thrilled with the news. I wanted to frame it as 'our baby' not 'mummy's baby.'

Now ds knows earlier than I wanted him to and if something goes wrong I've now got the additional trauma of telling him about it and worrying how he will react.
I'm really really cross.

Idiot, no, I let a really lovely surprise slip that I had been carefully keeping for about six months. I felt absolutely terrible about it and still do.

Am I the only person on this thread who's ever accidentally let something slip without meaning to?

Personally, no, I never have, but if I had, then I would be falling over myself to apologise and do whatever I could to make things right. I'm sure if the OP's MIL had done so then it would have mitigated the annoyance somewhat.
