Mz. Pixie Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 This child is TWO. They are all high maintenance at this age! I'm going to be in the minority here and say that I think all of this sounds incredibly selfish. Flame me if you wish. You knew he had this child when you got involved in a relationship with him. I do not see a post on here about what it's like on the father's end, but let me tell you- any man I marry will have to love and treat my children like he does his or it will not work out for me. That has to be a major discussion before I move in or marry! All of that takes discussion and planning- you can't just jump in and expect it to be perfect. He had a responsibility for this child before he was involved in a relationship with you. He is having a hard time himself dealing with this- just like every other single dad has. It will be up to you both to set boundaries. She needs them but it's hard at this age. You shouldn't be responsible as her primary caregiver true but this child will be his for the rest of your lives together. If you're not capable of the sacrifice required then perhaps it would be best if you moved on- for you as well as the child. Link to post Share on other sites
