Children's dad Expecting

[Helena45]

This seems silly to ask but my children were recently told they're going to have a baby sister. So my question is do I text their dad and congratulate or wait for him to tell me himself. Were amicable but this change was sudden and I can see he is overwhelmed. He told me she was pregnant, but duno if thats cos she was sick alot. I know I'm overthinkng this but one I don't want to come across bitter two I don't want to overstep my boundaries.

How did he tell you? Surely if I'm conversation you'd have said so as part of the conversation? If via text, how l3ago did he tell you? Longer you've left it, the odder it would be, imo, to then say it.

He's told you she's pregnant and told the kids they are going to get a sister?

I'd be the bigger person here, say congratulations and ask occasionally how things are going.

I don't understand, he has already told you?

When my ex DH told me he was expecting it was face to face so I said congrats. I textvwhen they found out it was a boy and when he was born I took my kids out to buy their new brother a present. Now, I cant stand my ex but its important to me that our kids don't know that and that they see me as being happy for him. They were excited, rightly so, and I wanted to encourage that. I still buy a present for ex son at Xmas for the kids to give him
