DH is out of town. My kids and I were out to dinner and on the way back my son saw a post thru Snapchat. Or I guess it's called a Snap ????
Anyway, it was from the girl she currently lives with stating baby on the way for 2020 and then showed a pic of SD19.

Fan Freaking Tastic.

Part of me REALLY hopes this is a bad joke. Part of me is sick to my stomach.

So do I share this info with DH or let this unravel on its own? I have been disengaged and do not want any part of this. My gut is telling me to keep quiet but if it were my kid, I would want DH to tell me.

Since DH is out of town, you have a little extra time to chew on this. You say you're disengaged and don't want any part of this, right? The information you have is a bazillion times removed. If it were me, I'd keep the rumor (that's really all it is right now) to myself. It's my opinion that nothing good can come from saying anything, and plenty of bad could result if you do say something.

I totally understand wanting to talk about it and vent the hell out of your feelings, so go to safe, mostly anonymous places like this one to do that, but keep this to yourself at home. That's my two cents.

I'm new to ST, so please forgive any faux pas...

Say nothing, because you don't know anything for certain.

And Merry Christmas! Will you be spending it at the beach?

Its only a problem if darling hubby decides he needs to rescue her and financially take care of her and the baby instead of his household.

heck i am still in prime babymaking years and if my hubby says we can’t have anymore kids but one if his daughters gets knocked up and needs daddy’s financial help, we’d be getting a divorce!!! I’d have a huge issue with skids being irresponsible and not practicing safe sex and expect daddy dearest to rescue them at the expense of minor children that dad is actually responsible for.

she is an adult at that age, she can grow up the hard way.

like a previous poster said here, “she isn’t your trainwreck”

i think the bigger issue here is that her biological dad doesn’t know and hasn’t been told by his daughter that she is pregnant but rather her friend knows first... normally you share it with your partner/spouse and parents or close family members. So i guess sd doesn’t see her bio dad as family but she sure will need his rescuing financially!! Only then will he be considered family because its to her financial benefit

Thanks y'all...this is seriously why I love this site. You all help me keep my perspective and with that brings me so much clarity.

Yes, Exjulie..I am headed down Monday. DH is already there. Lucky dog!! He has a lot more vaca than I so this enabled him to get a jumpstart on things. We're down to the wire as our snowbirds come in mid January. But I'm finally beginning to feel like things are coming together!! The fact that it's my parents home is still hard at times, but I know they'd be really proud of the work. It really looks fantastic!!

Holy WOW! I agree keep quiet until she either annonces it to him or she tells her grandparents who then tell him.

I recently have told DH stuff I was told about Drunkie Spawn, I can't say that he's all the happy I shared this info with him, but at the same time I've reached a point of "Who the eff cares, we all knew she was going to end up this way...well okay not we, me!"

I don't think I would tell him. There is no point in upsetting him when you don't know if it's even true. Hopefully, it's NOT true but I think we all expected this.

I am in agreement with everyone above-do not say a word. Continue being disengaged, enjoy your Christmas and live your best life OP.

I am not one to normally agree with keeping something from your spouse, however, I can't see any way to have this news NOT shatter your Christmas. That isn't fair to you or your DH. 

Maybe if you see a second post on social media after the holiday's you can screen shot something over to him... but as for telling him now, I just wouldn't say a word.

My mother even told me this the other day, in relation to presents - she could never tell me what she was getting anyone.

If it were ME, Id probably spill the beans, because I couldnt help myself, but I would recomend keeping it under your hat if you can, at least until after the holidays. You dont want all kinds of skid drama mucking things up. Plus its social media and it seems everyones posting things of this nature as a "joke", to get everyone riled up, only to say afterwards it was a "false alarm", or some other kind of manipulation.

Yikes. If sd20 posted something like that I would freak.

I've decided to ignore it. If in fact it ends up being true...obviously that's another story. I certainly don't want to state anything that I don't know is true. These girls (for their age) are EXTREMELY immature so there's no telling the lengths they'll go thru on social media to get attention. I don't have access to anything. My bios just saw the snap and from what I understand they go away after a period of time ??? Not clear on that one lol..
Planning my Christmas at the beach with my kids and getting that house finished! If SD19 is truly knocked up...I honestly have no idea where this'll go..
