Hi Ladies,
I've been lurking for a few weeks and finally decided to post. Here's a little back story...
Just got engaged 1 month ago, super excited!! This is second time around for both of us. I have no kiddos, Fi has a 3yo whom I absolutely adore! We both have a pretty decent relationship with his ex. Her and I speak directly, mostly about SS and recently we we all celebrated SS birthday with both families. So over all thank God we all are mature about things!
So here's my question...since SS is so young he doesn't really understand the concept of us getting engaged. Fi and I have been together since SS was around 6 months old so the life he knows now is the only way he's ever known it. I think we should tell his ex but I'm not sure how or when the right time is. I don't want to just pick up the phone and tell her, I'm worried it'd seem like I'm rubbing it in or something. We also haven't set a date but are working towards setting one. I'd love to hear your opinions/advice.
Thanks and hopefully I'll be posting more once we start the planning process!
