Would you tell DS the truth?

[Tearsoffrustration]

ExP has told our Son (6) that there is a baby that hasn't got a Daddy and ExP is going to be that baby's Daddy but he did not make the baby.

The baby in question is his - he has told me himself - it is with his exGF.

I have no idea why he has said this.

I feel like DS should know this baby is his half sibling.

What the hell?

Tell your son the truth.

no wonder he's your ex - what a dick.

Always tell the truth. Your DS should be able to trust you. It's your ex's problem if he lied to his son.

Yanbu to tell your ds the truth, but maybe ask exp first why lie????????????

....as we are all dying to know

Yeah truth for the one if anything thinking his dad has just picked some random baby is worse. What a totally random thing to say

Are you sure your ExP has told the truth to you?

If he's not with the ExGF, it makes it even weirder to say that, surely?

Perhaps he's worried about your DS feeling displaced, or perhaps its because it doesn't sound like ExH is living a fairytale life at the moment and doesn't want to expose your DS to the reality of the situation?

It doesn't sound like he's thought this through, though, and it might have been helpful not to tell you and your DS different stories!

Did DS tell you this or ex? If DS could he be confused? Sounds like a strange tale to tell...

You can say something like you understood it differently, and both talk to him and ask him to clarify it.
