Im after some advice!
My ex and his partner are due to have their first baby together in just a just over a month and a half. She already has a 2 children of her own, & my ex has our son (occasionly).
My son is almost 8yrs old, at home (with me) he already has a younger brother who he adores, & we too are expecting in a few months times.
My problem is when we/he speaks about our baby here at home he is absolutely thrilled, saying the most adorable things about what he will do to help etc.
Talk about dads baby to be (they had a labour scare last month) and he grunts and flat out refuses to talk about it, just goes grumpy.
Should i be encouraging him to be happy about his dads baby/ how should i do that? Or should i just leave it.
He knows that it'll be his sibling too.
Just not sure what to do :(

When my ex's partner was pregnant my daughter didn't care to much about it all, I think it was because she only spent alittle time with him (every 2nd/3rd weekend) so she had no interest in his partners pregnancy. When his new baby was born she did get slightly interested. But my daughter was so interested in my pregnancies and her brothers when they were born.
I personally think just leave once your ex has the baby your son will get alittle more interested, I think it's hard for anyone to get attached when time spent there is only "occasional" ?
