We have one child and another one on the way. With the first child he was really scared and didn't react very well although we were trying for the baby we were living with his parents at the time while our house was being built so a grown man was terrified of telling his parents we were having a baby so I had to tell them 🤨 throughout my pregnancy he didn't seem that excited unless he was talking to friends about the pregnancy.
The second time we tried for this baby also and we found out at the doctors office he just said "I told you so!" Then that was his reaction. He works long hours so I don't like to bother him with my aches and pains with this pregnancy.
Last night he went to his best friends house for dinner, our child was sick so I stayed home, he sent me a photo of them announcing their pregnancy! I was so happy for them they had just been married a few months prior and I knew this is what the wife has always wanted. When he got home he was literally jumping for joy! And I mean jumping around the house with excitement for them saying how he will be so involved and the kids will be so close in age and we should move closer to them (we are 30 minutes away at the moment) so we can have play dates etc. Of course he should be happy for his best friend and his wife but why didn't I get this reaction he's more excited about their pregnancy than he has been for both of mine. It's a bit hurtful I don't even know why I'm posting just more venting
