to think this couple need a kick in the pants?

[Sukie1971]

A colleague of DH has just become the proud father of his first DS. He has a DD with his XP, and a DD with his new wife.

Birth announcements state "A & B are proud to announce the safe arrival of our son, brother to C"

No mention of his eldest daughter, yet he has her every other weekend so is still involved in her life.

I feel so sad for his eldest daughter, yet I also know its none of my business really.

Opinions please.

Yeah, if he didn't want to create waves his announcement on facebook could have said something along the lines of 'the whole family are delighted to welcome our new arrival, C', so he wouldn't have had to name his DD1, if he had concerns it would upset his XP but it would have made it clear that he didn't want to exclude anyone either.

Diplomacy, tact and sensitivity are so important, esp if kids aren't going to feel left out and end up resenting the new baby
