Do I have to send my son to see his dad if he doesn't have a house?

If he has access to grandma’s house for bathroom etc then I don’t see a problem

It’s his father it’s like camping. Let him go

If it’s court ordered you have to send him. What is unsafe? They have access to everything they need. Is the camper falling apart?

Soooooo…
A- if there is a court order in place and the child won’t be placed in immediate danger then you have to send him.
B- you could easily frame this as a fun camping trip with dad to the kid (I’m assuming kid is fairly young)
C- if this is BD long term plan I’d deff go back to court and at bare min have it in the order that if this is what’s going to happen GMA has to agree to the court that they have access inside. Idk his family dynamics but I could see a lot of situations at end up with BD and GMA mad at each other but not enough to call the cops but enough to be petty and not let anyone in to use the bathroom.
So …in conclusion I guess…I would say it’s fine for short term but some guidelines need to be laid out and only the court can do that

I’ve taken my children camping in the great outdoors in tents, with no bathrooms or running water. It’s called find a tree and go, and we used bottled water. It’s on the weekends. It’s not like he’s trying to raise the child under those conditions. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Literally nothing you said points to it being unsafe

Nothing you listed seems unsafe about it. What’s so unsafe?

There’s a house there. He’s in the driveway. The kid has running water, a roof, and a grandma 20 feet away if he doesn’t want to stay in a camper, which by the way, kids love.
Kids don’t care what you have. If dad wants to see and be apart of kids life, you do it. It’s not like he has joint custody, it’s every other weekend… you do sound bitter, tbh.

If he has access to running water and a toilet only a few feet away I don’t get what the issue is

Wowwww… it’s women like you who give “baby moms” a bad name, the child will have everything he needs while visiting his father why would you deny their time together ?! Because his living situation isn’t up to your standards? That’s a joke if you’re worried send your child with things he’ll need why keep him away?!

If it’s actually unsafe, call cps, otherwise leave it alone

Not everyone has luxury and doesn’t make them less of a parent. So they have to go into the house to use the restroom? They have access to one

It’s not ideal or a permanent solution. But with access to the house there is nothing unsafe or harmful to your child. But keeping him from his Dad will be. If the situation changes and grandma won’t allow them to use the house and he ends up in gas stations or rest areas then you have need for concern. But for now he is perfectly safe with his father and Grandmother.

Only you day it not safe. What you doing sneaking around at nite where you don’t belong

If he wants to go then yea his grandma has everything he will need

If its court ordered, you don’t have a choice. His dad can supply running water, bathroom, food, etc. Seems perfectly fine.

If there’s an order, yes you have to send them. There’s never a reason to withhold unless courts say so. Unless it’s abuse anyways.

If it’s court ordered, yeah you do have to send him. The child isn’t at risk of any serious bodily harm at his father’s hand. They have to go to his moms to shower and use the restroom. Camping is worse than that. Pay for them to get a hotel if it’s such a problem for you.

Let him go. At least his dad wants to be in his life.

If it bothers you that much, consult your lawyer/ go back to court. I’d be careful about simply not sending him though because just yesterday in this local mom’s group I’m in a woman said she wouldn’t have her kid go. (Supposedly her kid didn’t want to). Courts said they didn’t trust her to maintain a healthy relationship between her child & the child’s father& they gave custody to the father instead .

It’s all about quality time! I have great childhood memories with my uncle taking us kids on a ride and ended up in another state at his dad’s! His trailer was out in the middle of a cornfield! No a/c and slept on a couch and wore same clothes we went in! Had the best time! BBQed bacon on a little pit outside until it rained so put it inside and smoked up the trailer! I was 5, my cousin 4 and my sister was 6! We got clean when we got back home! Let them enjoy just being!!!

If his mothers house is right there then I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to send him?? His mother may be right about you being bitter. You may not even realize it. It sounds like you are just looking for excuses not to send him.

It is every other weekend. That’s four days a month and it’s in a driveway where he has access to all the above. It’s like camping basically lol. He was fine enough to have that trailer when you were together hence why you have a child…now the trailer isn’t good enough??? :joy:

So the camper was good enough to fuck in but…

Poverty isn’t inherently unsafe. No doubt you would be comfortable with taking him camping. Sounds like he has access to better facilities than he would at a camping ground.
Let your child spend time with his Dad. He has the right to have a relationship with both his parents

Not to be that one mom, but i wish my kids dad(s) had literally anything something to do with my kids, atleast his daddy is trying. You should take a step back and appreciate that he’s trying & realize your kids just wants to see their dad. I’m just curious what you see unsafe of the camper?

If you don’t send him you violate a court order (if it’s in custody or divorce papers). That results in a contempt of court. I would send him. As long as the dad keeps the kid safe and he does want to see him let him go. A lot of kids have totally absent fathers. And it’s right there at the grandmothers house. So technically it’s camping.

I would say that if you feel uneasy about it, ask that he sleeps in the moms house overnight. Other than that it’s really like being in a separate room. :woman_shrugging:t2:

If you feel strongly about it take him back to court and see about requiring the visits to take place at his mom’s house notnin the camper. But don’t just notnsend him. You can get in trouble for that

You need to send your child. The child’s grandparent may feel the child should be 8n the house more? Doesn’t seem like you’re factoring in grandparents much other than to complain about the fathers living conditions when he has access to all the amenities right there he just has his space from his parents.

Can’t deny the father his visitation rights. Let the kid go and he can experience new adventures. If he gets hurt or something bad happens, then complain.

Cant the kids sleep in the house with grandma ? I am sure blow up mattresses on the floor would be better and safer . After all it’s only for a weekend and they do need to see their dad .

All he has to say is the kid stays inside at his mom’s on the visits and there will be nothing else you can do. Sometimes you just have to let it go.

Talk to your lawyer. Stay with his grandma.

Smh … when my daughter was first born, I had cps called on me for this reason and a couple others. Living in a camper beside someones house with no running water, but we had electricity. We spent majority of our time inside the house where we ate, took showers and watched TV. It couldn’t be too bad or you wouldn’t have lived in it yourself. Be grateful your son has an active father that wants him.

Technically the child has running water etc if he goes in her house and whatnot. I mean if the child isn’t in any real danger or anything he should continue on seeing his dad. Maybe suggest them sleeping inside of the house while your son is there but I also understand your where you were coming from too

Me, my husband & 3 kids lived in a 32ft bunkhouse bumper pull camper for 4 years saving for our house. It’s just a smaller scale. Odds are they’ll only just sleep there bc grandma is going to do all the fun stuffs & meals. Trust me the grandma is gonna be all over waking time. You’re freaking for nothing.

:fu:There’s literally a house in the driveway. You seem like you need an excuse to not let your child see his father. You are not only wrong but what you are trying to do is called parental alienation. I can’t stand people like you! I’m sorry if that sounds harsh but this isn’t about you and it’s not about your ex it’s about your child. Any grown adult who thinks keeping a child away from his other parent is okay, is complete trash. If it were drugs, booze, hoarding, or some real and actual reason I could understand but you sound evil!

Nope. They’re his kids too. If they aren’t in harms way? Get over yourself.

I would Maybe for the day but not over night

Maybe they could go into the house instead? It’s not right to keep a father away from a child for something like this. The water shouldn’t be that much if an issue if he’s only there a few hours (not sleeping over).

Let him go until or unless there’s a problem.

Yes you’re wrong. He has access to water etc via grandma’s house.
