This is not cancer related but I thought you wouldn't mind me putting my thoughts in print. My stepsons long term girlfriend gave birth to a baby boy yesterday morning and what should be a happy time has turned into a total nightmare. Due to his selfishness/laziness he didn't even tell his mam that the baby had been born. We only found out when he rang and asked if I would collect them from the maternity unit. In the 10 years we have been together I have never seen my partner so upset. She feels totally let down and disgusted at his behaviour and this lead to some harsh workings being exchanged yesterday. She says she does not want to speak to him again and does not want to bond with the baby! Thank you for listening.
Hi Mick 28.12.22 welcome to the forum and congratulations on the birth of your new grandchild. I can appreciate how your partner may be feeling and how upset that she is. Was that his way of telling you that the baby had been born by calling for you to pick them up? Im just wondering because women don't seem to be in hospital very long now, some as short as a few hours if a normal delivery.
Families can be strange beasts and making our way through them can sometimes be fraught with difficulties and Im sure we can all relate to some of that with our own families. Could you have a chat with your stepson and explain how upset that your partner is and why and see if they can have an open and honest chat.? I think she will change her mind when she sets eyes on that baby and maybe for now its just about being there for her and I do hope that you get an amicable solution that suits you all.
