Honestly it’s none of your business, you need to let go of that sense of trying to control him… As long as he’s a good dad, be grateful that he’s stepping up as many don’t.

If it’s not written and signed by the judge, there’s really nothing you can do. What he does and who he sees isn’t your concern as long as the child isn’t being harmed or endangered in any way.

I agree about not wanting multiple women meeting your child, but there is nothing you can really do about it unless its a court order. It sucks but its out of your control. Dont obsess over it. Try and move forward, come to peace with it

Unless you have that agreement in a legal contract, you don’t have a right to tell him who he can have around and when he can introduce them to your son. Unless you learn this woman is an actual danger to your child, let it go.

Sadly, there isn’t anything that can be done if he has visitation through the courts. Unless the child is being neglected or harmed in any way.
I say “sadly” because I know how we as parents do everything we can to protect our children from everything. Especially who they are around. I imagine this is a tough situation for everyone involved.
I understand you agreed but you have to pick your battles. This is his life and he does with the child as he pleases while in his care. You cannot control his life. It’s best if the child is not being harmed stay out of it. Your child will tell you what you

Sadly , there is nothing you can do about it . This happened when my husband left me for the woman next door . They lived together for 10 years . She was a very negative influence on my 1 and 5 year old sons . Not a thing the courts would do. It was many years ago and she eventually died but just try and be as pleasant as you can be and if you can say anything positive about her it will be easier . I do so feel your pain . My in
Laws and I would NOT allow my kids to stay the night with her so they came back to my in laws house and spent their weekends there and that was amazing!
Do you have that in a court order where you both can’t bring your child around a significant other for a certain amount of time? If not you really can’t stop him unless you can prove she is some danger to your child. You can talk to him about it but he doesn’t have to listen.

I know it’s hard and you don’t like it but that is your child’s father. You can’t tell him what to do, you guys aren’t together. He can live his life how he pleases. He can raise said child however he sees fit while the child is in his custody. I know I wouldn’t like it either but if it’s not in the court order there is nothing you can do about it.

I understand why that’s hurtful for you. But he’s not replacing you, no one could. So as long as this person is good to your child, it really isn’t something you should focus on. What if she’s actually really fun for him & he enjoys her being there ? Just something to think about.
They’re going to do what they want and you cannot control that. Keep a journal of EVERYTHING.
Do not say anything because then you’ll look like the crazy person. If he choses to bring every woman around the kid then that’s on him, but keep it documented.
The child will eventually see which parent has more respect when they get older.
Just my advice because I dealt with the same thing when my exhusband brought our children around a woman one day after meeting her on fb.

My kids dad did this. I was upset. Fast forward 4 years… this woman is an amazing person. She loves my kids and my kids LOVE HER. She’s patient, kind, spends time with them, listens to them. She is part of our family. Let the control go. It’s control. Most people are good, decent people. Would it matter if it was a new male friend? No…just female? Cut the cord with him. He will be in a new relationship and so will you at one point.
Not saying you have to be thrilled about it but take the time to maybe speak to the girl, talk to your kids and see how they feel. Ultimately you don’t have a choice, and neither will he when the shoe is on the other foot.

Unless its in the custody agreement, you’re going to have to bite it.
Completely none of your business.
You have to trust that his father will be diligent about his son’s safety and well being.
If there is something of concern, then you discuss with his father. Otherwise, let it go.
The more people that love your child, and the more peaceful the relationship is between your child’s parents, is what is best for any child.

As much as you’re angry about it and hurt, you can’t control who he has around his kid. Just as he can’t control who you bring around your kid. It’s unfortunate, especially if you’re keeping your end of the bargain.
There isn’t anything you can do. I’m sorry.
You can’t control what he does with his time as long as the child isn’t in danger. I’ll share some very wise advice a friend gave me during a similar issue - you can never have too many people live your child and treat them right. That changed everything for me.

Don’t. The whole “agreement” was only for you to comply with. Document things like this and keep it to yourself. I wish I had. It will surly help if he ever tries to fight for custody, it will show he can’t adhere to agreements and will get upset if confronted. It’s easy for me to say control your emotions but that is no easy task. You can’t interfere unless it’s a danger and honestly it’s no big deal but documentation is the key if he ever wants to take things to court.
Sorry but what he does on his own time has nothing to do with you and unless that child is in danger, you have no say who he brings around
If its on.his time then 
I’m sorry to say and I mean this in the nicest way but you have no choice. When that child is with him it’s not really your business what he does unless it’s harming the child. How would you feel if he tried to tell you what to do it’d be completely different. He’s just as much his parent as you are. Wait till you meet someone most likely you’ll do the same.

As long as your child is cared for when you’re not around you have no say in who your ex chooses to be with.
Pick your battles wisely. As long as she doesn’t harm your child then let it go.
Is the agreement in writing through court?
Stay out of it. When it’s his time, you don’t have a say sadly. You can for sure say you are not comfortable with that to him, but other than stating your feelings, there’s nothing to do. I would personally never introduce anyone to a child unless it’s been over a year maybe in the relationship and it’s something serious, but not everyone is like that. Some people think it’s ok to parade the weeks flavor and the law agrees with it.

Is he a bad father? Does he tear your child well? If so then why are you going to choose this battle to stand on? I only say this because some courts aren’t going to care. You can try to get a stipulation put into custody papers but it doesn’t always happen. If it doesn’t your going to be told what most parents are told, “You control your time, he controls his time.”

Hopefully you can get that rule put into a custody agreement. Do some of these commenters watch the news??? I wouldn’t let any stranger around your kid (either one of you) and yes they are still strangers after 3 months. It’s dangerous, not a matter of being bitter or jealous, I hope.

I have a different perspective. I think introductions early on can save a lot of problems. What if the new chick can’t handle your son for some reason? Maybe she will be jealous of him. Stupid yes but it happens all the time. Maybe she’s not very kind or caring to him. It’s good to see this relatively wary on rather than waiting till the father is totally in love and disregards her treatment of his son because of thinking with wrong head.
I’d monitor what is being said by asking inquisitive questions. Not leading. Don’t say things like did sally touch you? Ask things like did you have fun with dad and sally? What did you guys do together. And whatever you do don’t make the child feel bad if he says he likes her. The more people who love and care for your child the better off they will be.

This is just jealousy honestly. U may be upset that he’s not with you anymore but you have to get over it. If you all aren’t together, you can’t control what he does. “Not wanting another female around your child” is a natural reaction… But if you aren’t with him anymore…it’s gonna happen and you’re gonna have to just deal with it .

I don’t understand trying to tell your ex who is and isn’t allowed around your child. As long as the person is good to the child and safe for the child to be around, there shouldn’t be a problem, and if there is I hate to say it but YOU are the problem. You don’t get to control other people and it really just isn’t about you. Why wouldn’t you want your child around someone who shows them love and kindness? The more love our kids feel the better, no matter who it’s from.

Unfortunately its none of your business. If its not on a court order there’s nothing you can do about that when the child is on Dad’s time. You need to move on with your life and stop getting into his personal life. Yall aren’t together no more, therefore you don’t get to dictate what he chooses to do and who he brings your child around unless they’re a danger to your child. Hire an attorney and get a court order in place.

I was a woman who was in a relationship with a man who had a young 7 year old son. I was responsible for this child and I saw him as my own. I was only in the relationship for 8 months before I had to step away because we weren’t compatible. I LOVED that child like he was my own and he adored me. You’re selfish and you have control issues. That boy doesn’t even remember me anymore. I bumped into his mom and him at a local function and she asked me if I wanted to see him and of course I said yes. I was torn between feeling like I abandoned him and feeling like it was best he didn’t remember me. Unfortunately he didn’t but people are going to come and go his entire life. He’s loved, happy, and supported. If that’s not your ultimate goal regardless of who steps in you don’t have an argument because this is about you and not your child.

As a step mom I believe instead of keeping the children away from any significant others either yours or his you should be able to sit down and speak to all parties together without the children. You can meet and see how she is. You don’t have to be buddies and hang out but should be able to have friendly interaction for the sake of the children. You can find out about each other. As long as she is kind and caring towards the children you shouldn’t have an issue.

Just talk to him. This is something yall previously agreed and now he’s not honoring it. Yall need to sit down together and discuss it in a calm manner. I totally understand, I wouldn’t want a bunch of men or woman in and out my child’s life either. It’s confusing and hurtful for a child when they get attached over and over again and it doesn’t work out. I agree, wait until you know it’s serious to introduce.

Unless you already have something written in the custody agreement about new partners, there’s nothing you can really do. Ask to meet her to hopefully settle your nerves but if you went to court they’d tell you you don’t get a say during his time who he brings around the child unless you can prove they’re a threat like past abuse charges or drugs etc.
There’s nothing you can do lol
Only thing that would p me off is his time with your child is limited so why does his new interest need to drag along, and also why would she even want to

If this is something you no longer wish to accommodate then I would have hoped you would have had a conversation with me first. I want to make sure that we are both being respectful of the others boundaries when it comes to new people in X’s life! Our child told me she was very nice so I look forward to meeting her!”

Its just so bizarre to me that people live their life like this. Even when I was at my worst, I still knew better than to tell my kid I was dating someone let alone bring them around. However, I did have guy friends who were around and loved my son, he never cared, never felt abandoned by anyone I was friends with of the opposite sex. If your baby daddy isn’t making it a big deal, and you aren’t either which it sounds like you are, the kid will be fine. Iys your control you need to let go of.
Your youngest sons dad, so he’s not your older child/children’s dad. Did you wait a long time before bringing him around??? Seems like it was OK to you when it was you on your back with him. Sounds like a toxic environment to raise kids. On both sides.

I wouldn’t be impressed, and I’m kind of surprised with these comments saying get over it. I know if it where a woman bringing all these men around their child like this the comments would be very different
Are you mad because she’s younger? Prettier? Nicer? Or all 3? It’s his child, his time with his child. He was never taking you back so let his child enjoy time with him.
