Mum wants to be there when we tell DSC about pregnancy. Thoughts?

[FrootTheLoot]

Me and DH are wanting to say no tbh. She's been difficult in the past.

We have already told her as we thought that was the right thing to do but she's now saying she thinks she should be there too incase they need support.

It's the OP, my account wont let me change back to the username I used for this post annoyingly!

I'm not really sure how I'm being precious? I've basically done the exact same thing as you except the DSCs DM knew a little while before they did rather than telling DC first and texting their mum like you did (they were coming to us the next morning and we told them then).

You didn't have their mother there either so why does me wanting the same make me precious? 😂 If I was precious about it, I wouldn't have told her at all and let the kids do it like plenty of posters on here have said.

I thought she should know so she had time to adjust to it before the kids came and asked her questions or spoke about it and so it wasn't a surprise. I still think that was the right decision. But no, I don't think she needed to actually be there for any other reason then her own desire to be involved/nosey.

Anyway, DH said no and the kids were told by just us and are really excited, no issues whatsoever.

So happy for you OP and extremely pleased you didn't involve her.
It would of set you up for a very horrible journey where she feels the need to be involved in every part of your lives.
Me and my ex don't do anything together, no birthdays, Xmas nothing.
The kids know everything is separate and they love it that way.
