Kurr, I know you're really closed-minded from your really uninsightful posts in that thread, but I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that he'd be better off without his sperm donor in his life.

I'd install some hidden cameras in the meeting area. Just in case. As long as he treads the kid right give him a chance. If anything comes up, he seems drunk, drugged or anything else go to court and have his rights removed.


Completely agree ! It's your house, so you can have as many cameras as you want. And if anything turns bad, you can just show the video to the juge lol.

Probably the best post in this thread. Mushrooms are an incredibly mind-opening experience. I learned tons about myself on a mushroom trip, plus shit was glowing and had trails. Good times


And you smoke weed too. I guess those don't count as drugs anymore?


Kid sounds fucked either way.


Caffeine is a drug. Nicotine is a drug. Those are consumed by hundreds of millions a day and people rarely bitch about people taking these "drugs" on the same day as they are around kids. Alcohol is a drug, and yet someone having a few beers one night and visiting their child the next doesn't necessarily endanger the child. Don't generalize so much.

how long will the dad have to spend time with the kid? Hopefully it won't be enough to negatively influence in him.

Why would anyone ever date a single mom?


Because one is not so insecure in dealing with children and exes (in fairness, many aren't as bad as this guy).

issue is the kid calling you dad, that's why you're feeling bad

you're jealous and that's normal

just don't bring up the topic with the kid, it concerns him only

elevate yourself and think to some extent there's a small chance this could turn out positive

however if hes a busy coke head and is doing all that only to piss his ex off, then don't worry, unless hes a fucken psycho, he will get bored eventually

now problem is the kid might get a bit hurt in the process or confused

situation sucks, you need a good deal of self control and maturity over this

maybe you should prevently, go see a psychologist to help you cope with the situation or even get advice from

I really want to give you good advice but I just can't. I don't know enough about this issue to tell you some wise advice...and I feel every other user in this forum(if he's not your IRL friend) is in the same situation.

Why does he have to be in your house while he's visiting his child? Shouldn't he take the child away and return him to your house after he's done?

I like the camera idea. Watch like a fucking hawk and turn the tables on him if he fucks up. If he ever shows up drunk or high, document it somehow and get the rights revoked.

Depends, if the visiting rights are very small. Like a few hours I believe it is normal to do it either under observation or at the childs house. I assume he doesn't get custody in the weekends ?

It's his child, he pays child support.

Why should he not be allowed to visit his own child?


Sadly, being a good human being is not a requirement for being a father.

Sadly, the law seems to favour crackheads and obnoxious bitches over hardworking people that have atleast two braincells fully functional. Twisted system over there, in NL (I am dutch) it's much less like that.
