My childs father refuses to add me on social media: Advice?

None of your business

He has no reason to add you to social media. If you want to keep tabs, ask him to send you updates via text.

Lol. Are you serious?

He might get anxiety when you have her but dosent feel the need to stalk you, give it a rest, you don’t need to know his every move with her

Oh wella, you’ll just have to accept that.

Social media didn’t exist what would you do ? Let the dad be a dad. Honestly it is not up to you it is up to the courts. What happens on his time is his time what happens on yours is yours. Back off.

In high school we would just look at our exs profiles on a friends account who is friends with them :rofl::rofl::rofl:

No reason you guys need to be friends on social media.
If she is coming home fine, mentally and physically. It’s just you girl. I get a break up is hard and having to let your baby go somewhere you’re not, is harder. But set healthy boundaries, show her a good role model.

Childish fucking bullshit unless ur child is in danger or being hurt u have no business knowing what he does with them that’s his time he doesn’t know what u do with them all the time it’s a 2 way street u have ur privacy he has his acting like this is what’s wrong with the world. Also if he has a shady past hate to be the bearer of bad news so do u

Unless he has or gives you legitimate concern and your daughter says something inappropriate or irresponsible is going on—than it’s on you and your own issues/insecurities or whatever that’s making you feel entitled to “keep tabs.” Also, the approach of “I want to be added to ‘keep tabs’” is exactly why he’s not. My 15 year old daughters father and I took 8-10 years to finally get to a friendly place and truly care about each other as people and friends and co parent and be cool. He trusts me enough to leave his beloved and new Harley Fatboy in my care to do work on it i the garage with my boyfriend. I used to be crazy and put him through shit as a 19-25 year old mom. He owes me NOTHING. We’ve briefly been friends on social media before. But of recent as we’ve been consistently good and respectful of each other—he still doesn’t accept my request and that’s ok…I don’t ask of beg or pester.

It seems your ex has a reason to be concerned that you’ll take a post or photo wrong and it also seems you’re just waiting or assuming or convinced he’ll he “shady” or do something wrong and use it against him when in reality—it’s unfair to do so. If your daughter can speak and knows right from wrong—that’s all you need. Stop obsessing over what you cant control.

You don’t have that right. You think if he is abusing or neglecting her, you’ll see it posted? No… you’re just trying to be nosy.

Get ya @$$ off social media all together & maybe go meditate to help with your “ anxiety “

If you’re that concerned for your child, deal with that side of things. Don’t use your child safety as an excuse so you can stalk your EX. He might have a shady past, but he’s got some sort of intelligence to know that having your EX on your social media is not a good idea

I don’t blame him tbh. His parenting time is HIS parenting time. I know it can be hard at first if the split is fresh but you’re gonna have to learn to let go. At one point you trusted that man enough to have a child with him. You’re gonna have to trust that when your child is with him, she’s in good hands.

This is your issue, not his. He doesn’t owe you unlimited access to his life. If the child is comes home with signs of abuse call the police. Do you think he’d post on Facebook that he’s abusing his child? This isn’t about the safety of your child, it’s about your need to stalk him.

Even if he were to add you, he could still post without you seeing it so there’s really no point. If you think something is going on you’re not comfortable with I’d say do something about that.

You cannot do that. If you want to make sure your daughter is safe, you have to go through the courts, and have supervised visitation.

I wouldn’t be adding my ex. The last thing I would want is for my ex to be snooping my social media.
They’re an ex for a reason.

He could add you then restrict you so all you can see is public posts whether you’re a friend or not!! Why do people think fb is the place to run instead of the proper people who can assist if there’s really any safety issues. You just hate the ex having a life without you. I’ve got my children’s father blocked, once divorced, my business is no longer his business.

Talk to your kid, do they feel safe when they are there? If they say yes then I don’t really see an issue. The whole keeping tabs thing on an ex is kind of toxic. Ask your kid questions if they feel unsafe then talk to a lawyer and police. Let the man have his social media.

Depending on the age of the child, get your kid a phone so that you can message your child for piece of mind… I got both my kids phones so they could message Me as we have IVO in place so I wanted to know my kids were safe when in his care as I have him blocked on all social media and was only allowed to text me only (no phone calls) but both kids could tell me they were ok or when they wanted to come home

You can’t dictate or basically spy while it’s his time. If you feel your child is in danger or coming back sad then go down proper channels. I dont mean interigate your child, a kid will talk if want to or something is up.It doesn’t sound like that’s the case though, you’ve maybe some separation anxiety, or if to keep tabs on ex then you possibly need councilling to help you.
I’ve socials my personal life isn’t really on it so you’d likely not find out anything anyway.

Alot of men don’t even bother. Sounds like he’s trying to be around for her. That’s rare. That’s your daughter’s Dad. My Daddy was my everything

No he doesn’t have to add you on any of his social media. That’s not going to help you keep track of your kid. Mine has me blocked. I could care less. As long as your kid is fine and doesn’t tell you anything bad happened then let it go. You’re just making problems where there doesn’t need to be. Let him go and move on.

Jesus women like you piss me off, You can’t control what he’s doing or who he has around on HIS TIME, you are overreacting 100% and sounds like you’re trying to be controlling. He doesn’t owe you anything realistically and absolutely has a right to refuse to add you on social media for “your peace of mind”.

Obviously none of these commenters ever worried about their child with their father. Honestly if the child can’t tell you what’s going on I would reconsider allowing visits if his past is that shady. I wouldn’t want to have to watch Facebook to know my kid is ok. If his past is that shady take it to court.

You are overreacting. You are overreacting. You are overreacting. Do you need to hear those words a few more times?

There’s no law and no judge that is going to order him to add you to his social media. He has a right of privacy. Your peace of mind is no reason for him to add you. If you are experiencing that much anxiety, you need to get into counseling asap. If your anxiety is affecting your child, please get your child into counseling. If you think your child could be harmed by your child’s father, you need to document those issues and get Child Protective Services to check on the child while she is with her father.

Otherwise, butt out of the father’s life. If you were this way with him when you were together, I don’t blame him one bit for not adding you to his social media.

Sis please stop it .
If you feel your child may be in harms way wth is social media gonna do to stop it.

The time to decide he would be a shitty father was before you had kids. He’s her dad and he gets to see her. He doesn’t have to add you to his social media. He has a right to his daughter and his life. As hard as it is, you do not control his relationship with his daughter. And you can’t restrict his visits just because you can’t snoop on his Facebook. Grow up.

Being on his social media isn’t gunna, protect your child… If your concerns are valid then why are you sending her there?
Have you any proof that he’s done anything wrong?? Is your daugher unhappy there??? Or are you just being controlling??? These are the questions you need to ask yourself

Yes you are over reacting. He doesn’t owe you anything for your piece of mind. Just like you don’t have to answer to him when you have the child, he doesn’t have to answer to you when he has the child. You have to trust that he isn’t going to put the child in harms way and if you have LEGITIMATE reasoning to be concerned for the welfare and safety of your child, then go to court. Otherwise you need to relinquish some control and let him be a dad… I get it, it’s hard. It took me a while to realise that I needed to take a breath and had no say, when my girls weren’t in my care…but I also understand that I don’t want my ex on my social media and he doesn’t want me on his.

God you people are rude. She came here for advice and all you people can do is call her crazy. It’s a legitimate question/concern.

She’s not crazy or controlling, see when my grandchildren were small, 2 and 6 their dad wanted to take them to Fl on “vacation” with his flavor of the month. My daughter said as long as it’s just you and the girls, not the new gf they don’t know. He said of course, I’d never do that. So off to vacation they go. When they get back during bath time one night the 6 year old says, I wish Miss So And So didn’t do on vacation with us because me and my sister had to sleep on the floor so Miss So and So could sleep in the bed with my daddy! So NO, she’s protecting her child from a lying father! Fathers lie, Mothers lie, protect your child! NO MATTER THE COST, NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK!
