"Getting it off your chest on here is ideal. Its time you had a chat with him about re establishing boundaries and commitments. Itneeds to be a two way conversation. I do feel for you as your little one needs time with dad and needs to feel important to him x" I've tried more than once. He has a temper on his so I try not confront him face to face as it never ends well so I text him exactly what I thought and he just text back 'don't start' | |||

" Life happens to people. If your ex is the type that puts himself before everyone and even his son then what other kind of behaviour do you expect from him? If you can manage the changes manage then without feeling aggrieved. If you can't then get the custody details sorted legally and abide by them. How does your son feel about it all ? If he doesn't care it really doesn't matter. If you are willing to change your plans for your son then that doesn't matter either. Loving couples that live together go through time and child issues too. I'd say you find it difficult so .... get it sorted. x " That is good advice granny thank you. My son is only 2 and a half so isn't really aware of what's going on at the moment thank goodness. But he does know when I say get your shoes on coz daddy is coming to get you he would of been upset this morning stood waiting with no appearance. I've stopped telling him plans the day before now as I don't want him thinking his dad is a complete loser but it won't be long before he realises it for himself | |||

"Miss Hottie My piece of paper father was exactly the same, always letting me down etc etc.. Best thing my mum did was give up asking him and move away. It broke her heart as she sent presents from him etc but she remarried and I got the dad I should have had. I still to this day have nowt to do with him Being a dad isn't about just depositing sperm, its about being there, and if he can't be. Then he doesn't deserve the right.. Good luck honey, chin up and keep smiling " I'm sorry you went through it but sounds like it worked out for the best. The thing that annoys me most is he complains like mad that he doesn't get to see him much and he wants him more! Laughable really. Xx | |||

Xx" Don't ever apologies, I learnt from a young age from a women how a man should be.. Your son will too.. We've become a generation of men raised by ladies. And I don't think that's bad!! He was the same, only time he reared his head was when my step dad wanted to have my name changed and he fought tooth and nail till it went to court.. Got access again, I told him he wasn't my dad the chap who raised me was and I never heard from him again xx | |||

"I will add, give your son loads of hugs and kisses and don't badmouth your ex in front of your son. I believe children should feel secure and sometimes parents spend so much time bickering the child gets hurt in the process. As your son gets older he'll see for himself the kind of man is dad is. Your son at least knows his dad, my nephew is 5, his dads only child and he's never seen him and never wants to. Some men don't realise what they're missing out on. Deep breath...hug your son...and best wishes to you both." this | |||

He's very bad tempered and angry anyway one of the main reasons we split up as Id gotten to the point of being scared of him. Especially when he's had a drink. So I can only really converse with him via text. But he doesn't listen. It's like banging my head on a brick wall! | |||

"I feel for you lil miss hotbot, I've been there I know exactly how you feel, it's hard, frustrating and just sad that lil ones dad can't be arsed to make the effort. Hope you feel better for getting it out, a good rant tends to sort things and remember it wasn't your doing that 'dad' is a twat x" No that's true, I wouldn't be without my boy now but do wish he's shown his true colours earlier on. I would of been long gone x | |||

"Misshot remember the thread I put up few wks ago about my doughter. Far from sticking up for him but as I put in that thread my doughter gave me the kick up the arse I deserved an no 1 el could have done that like she did. Im a workaholic an id justblost site of the real important thing maybe hes the same an maybe he need the same kick I did. As said not sticking up for no 1 an only read your 1st post yep im working lol just a thought hun hope you get it sorted" No I can say its not that. Like I said it was overtime yesterday which is fair enough I know he needs the money to get a new bike coz his old one is falling apart but then cancelling again because he wants to go out drinking tonight. And last week cancelling because he's had a row with his GF. And 3 weeks ago cancelling because his GF daughter had chicken pox which our son has had and he could quite easily of picked him up and taken him out without her. He's just a selfish wanker. I've been making excuses for him for 2 years and now I've had enough!! | |||

"I (Steve) split up with my sons mum when he was 18 months old. As I was working for myself at the time, mainly from home, I used to pick him up for a weekend and end up keeping him for a week or more until I got the "can you bring him back I really miss him" phone call. He's 19 now but he still remembers some of our times, turning a chicken hut into a playhouse was one with him and the little lad next door let loose with rollers and emulsion paint. What the hell, it washed off eventually Your ex is the one missing out." Exactly! This is what they need to do. He never spends any time alone with him. And then he moans that they don't have the same bond that we do. Errrr whys that?? | |||

And probably be more forgiving tbh after all times and hard and he needs the money. But it's everything. Friends. GF. The pub. Lol. Any thing comes first x | |||

"Personally, I wouldn't touch with somebody elses barge pole a man that didn't move heaven and earth to see his kids. If he didn't care about his own flesh and blood, how could I trust him to really care about me?!! My step sons (35 and 37) visit at least once every six weeks, talk to their sisters every day, and my girls and their partners visited their mum in hospital, the hospice and attended her funeral earlier this year. My ex saw his kids every weekend. If he went out I drove and picked them up and looked after them. My ex is a good man who made sure all his kids felt loved, and we, his "baby mommas" made sure our kids grew up happy together. We all put the kids first and there was no jealousy or one upmanship between us. Some men don't realise what they're missing until it's too late." I've seen you say about your ex on here before and he sounds like a good guy. I would of given anything to have had a good post-relationship relationship for our sons sake but he makes it nigh on impossible. I just hope he bucks his ideas up before its too late. | |||

"Personal post alert... Just have to get this out sorry! I am so fucking mad right now. Why can my sons dad not sort his priorities out. Was meant to have our boy today and tues (his choice of days not mine) so he face times our lad last night to say night and I say see you tomorrow. He says no I text you earlier to say I've been asked to work. After we get off the phone he checks and he hadnt sent the text. So my lad would of been waiting for him at 9 this morning and he wouldn't of turned up. But it's work and he needs the money so I cancel my plans for today and arrange plans for tomorrow. Now he's just rang again. Can I have him Monday instead of tomorrow. Oh have you got to work again?? No I'm going out on the piss!! Wtf?? Is he for fucking real?? And apparently me telling him he needs to take a good look at his priorities is out of line. I told him no he can't have him Monday. He has him on the days he's meant to have him unless its for a good reason or he doesn't bother!!! So now I've cancelled my plans again and am sat here really upset, not because of my plans coz my boy will ALWAYS come first but because I don't understand how he doesn't see what a complete prick he is!! Last week he was meant to have him on Sunday but text me sat night as he's had a row with his mrs and needs to move his stuff out. Fair play but come Monday he's not moved one item out and is still there now!!! Sooooo angry!!!! " This may be of little use but i actually envy you. You get to see your son every day and as he grows up he will see which parent cared and which was selfish. Some of us are unfortunate & don't get to see our own child cause the ex has run off with them & broke every agreement but because i was born with a penis i'm instantly demonised, guilty by accusation which seems to be the norm in society. Some ex's see the father as nothing more than a sperm donor, a visa guarantee & a bank account. I'm not defending your ex or anything of that ilk & i realise it's a personal thread & i shouldn't say my own situ but wanted to give a guys perspective going through the idiotic processes & jumping through all the hoops to prove my innocence against baseless accusations. As i said at the start i envy you for having the joy of watching your offspring grow up & raising him. If anything i think you should cherish every moment and love him to bits so he knows what a super-mom you are and what an arsehole he is. Your ex's non-commitment will at times ruin your plans but i hope you cherish the positive | |||

He has the opportunity to see him, every day if he wants to I've never even moaning about him popping his head in on the way home from work when I'm trying to sort dinner etc. but he chooses anything else. I do appreciate every moment I spend with him and miss him like mad when he's not with me. But I understand its healthy for him to have a good relationship with his father. Shame his father doesn't agree! | |||

"Most of the time moans about ex's are generally because of looking after them. People usually get peed off because they arranged to go out on an evening and get let down. Bugger the ex, get a babysitter and tell the ex he can't see them at all. That will buck his ideas up!!!" I didn't have evening plans just a lunch date with a friend and some shopping and things I wanted to get done. Can't afford a baby sitter my mum comes round if I ever want to do anything in the evening so that's not a problem. It just annoys me that he moans he barely gets to see him then cancels all the time! X | |||
