DH and I are slowly telling family members that we are expecting. My mum has known for ages and was thrilled and excited when I told her. My infamous MIL was also thrilled when we told her - no surprises there. My father, however, was so cool about the news, almost to the point of being indifferent! After talking to him on the phone, I burst into tears because I couldn't believe his reaction. DH then called him back and he said he'd been feeling unwell etc.. - but still! He hadn't even told my step mum the news and when we told her she was over the moon, shrieking etc.. and asking for all sorts of details.
Is this yet another example of how men react so differently to pg news? This will be the first grandchild for both sets of parents yet I was stunned by my father's reaction. Anyone else experienced this?
