Hi girls
In a bit of a quandry. My brother-in-law and his girlfriend spilt up recently after a good few years together, they have a LO. The girlfriend is a darling and I love her to pieces and go out socialising as friends too. Before I got married in Sept she was talking about having another baby and I told her to wait a month or two so we could have one at the same time . (That's not the problem by the way). They spilt up shortly after that conversation but I don't believe my friend is happy about it.
Anyhoo, (background info out of the way) last night we told OH's family of the news. Had a quick discussion with other SIL and we agreed I should ring BIL's ex today before she heard through the grapevine. Well, I work and being as they don't know, I can't make the call until lunch . . you know where this is going. MIL told her about 7am this morning. I know its because she's excited but I feel terrible. I just text my friend to say sorry and that I'd call her later when I get out of work but haven't heard anything. I just hope she's ok - its a hard time for her at the moment and I don't want her to feel left out.
Thanks for listening girls I just don't know how to make the situation any better. I'll ring her when I can and see what she says.
