Was I wrong to ask my boyfriend not to take his son this weekend?

Hope he leaves and dosent ever come back and hopefully he finds someone else your not worth it tbh. So it’s alright to have your kids wheneva you feel but not okay for him to have his son. Your an idiot!

Dont think shes necessarily wrong, I see both sides. Its natural to want alone time with your significant other. I think she approached it completely wrong. I would never ask my bf to not see his child, we work around his daughters schedule. She shouldve asked for him to find time for her alone vs asking not to see his child. She needs a break, plain and simple. They need to compromise and find time for eachother, try to plan sleep overs for kids on the same weekend, or have them stay at their grandparents house, there are simple solutions other than asking for a father not to see his child.

It’s his son its not your call to make. So yea that was petty. Your a parent oh well you do not get time for your self until they go to bed. Your selfish. If I was him I would leave to

Tell him to grow up.

I would’ve done the same as he did, there’s no breaks when you’re a parent, and it’s hard enough not being with your child every day. And to have someone you love, not want you to get your kid, the times you’re allowed is just sorry.

This is a joke right? :thinking:

I’m sure your tired and need rest but, Good man! Why is your time more precious than his? Your not going to have time alone for 18 more years with all your kids and his 1! It’s Father’s Day why wouldn’t he have his son? This whole rant Is one way. Plan a night ahead of time without any kids. So everyone is on the same page. Put it in the calendar. So he’s not shocked when you tell him you don’t want his kid there on weekends?

Imagine if your baby dad said sorry I ain’t having our kids at the weekend cuz my missus wants to spend the weekend with me…

100% wrong he excepts your children you should except his

My dad chose his 2nd wife over his kids it still hurts

Get a babysitter and go out when your kids are home

I see nothing wrong with wanting a weekend free. Married people do it all the time, get sitters or send kids to nana etc. Some you just want to argue and hes a lil bitch looking for an out. Js.

Its not wrong to ask for a day off, i smetimes nid a break frm my son its doesnt make me a bad mother…its not wrong for u want to hav quality time with ur boo

So he’s with your kids all day everyday and you have a problem w his kid on Saturday’s? Do you not see the issue

Yes, you’re wrong. You asked him to pick you over his kids. If you’re going to date a person with kids than you need to include them in your life. You don’t get to pick and choose when to let his son be apart of your life or his. I think he did the right thing by leaving. Shows what a great father he is.

You are definitely in the wrong. Need to do some soul searching.

Grow up!! If you don’t want the responsibility of caring for “his son”- maybe you shouldn’t be a parent at all?!! How dare you suggest that his son is in ANY way a burden on you!! Good for him! I hope he takes custody of the baby inside you as well, seeing that children are such a hassle for you and all 🤷🙋😠

I don’t personally agree, maybe switch weekends? Do you not have your bio kids full time? Work with the other parents to switch up schedule so you can get a weekend but just plain asking him not to take him…thats not the route I’d go.

I.m kinda siding with him on this one why dont you ask yr ex to swap weekends and what are you going to do with the baby when its born if you dont have enough room for 5 :thinking::woman_shrugging: cmon one more child is not going to make a diffrence and of course you care for his child when he,s there you gotta do it all for yr kids anyway .

Yes you’re wrong. End of story. That’s so mean. You’re gonna have to deal with his child if y’all get married. You think you’re gonna have that luxury of asking that question then? That’s incredibly selfish

Is this a serious question? You are WRONG. You can’t ask a father not to see his child! Imagine if your children’s father said he was no longer taking the children on the weekend because his girlfriend told him not to! Your boyfriend or ex boyfriend now is absolutely right and should leave you! Maybe instead you tell him how overwhelmed you are and need help with maintaining the residence and kids. You asked him to stop taking his son which is asking him to choose between you and his son.

to me this is really mean. his son can’t live with you but you’re having another child. get a bunk bed or something like that. it should be possible. I can understand you wanting a day just with your partner, but you chose a man with a child. of course he wants to see his son also. and I honestly can’t understand why you’re having another child if its already stressful enough. you have 3 kids, a full time job, a boyfriend that needs attention , a step son and soon a newborn also. if you have that much on your plate, sorry but you should just enjoy your free time when kids are in bed.

No idea how you worded it…but if it was “babe can we have Saturday to ourselves?” He wouldn’t have left
He has your kids a fair bit in house…he sees his only a bit. You want date night, find out when he’s off, you take a day off work, and kids at exes houses. Simple

And if ex isn’t helping much with his son and you feel you do too much, you should have talked to him about it.

Ask him to ask his ex to switch the schedule to match the schedule your ex has. Then you have all the kids at once and a weekend off at the same time. You can’t ask him not to have his child that’s part of the package his son is half him. It sounds like a choice and it will be a choice you probably won’t win. How would you feel if he said it to you? You’d be upset. Coordinate the schedules with your ex’s if you can. Or see a counsellor so he learns active parenting skills.

Yea you stepped over the line with that. He literally only sees his kid one or two days a week, so that is like 8 days out of a 30 day month. He should always choose his kid over you cause that’s what good parents do-put the child above anyone and everything. Be happy if you get 6 hrs a month alone with your man, it’s called responsibility. I can honestly say that I would have done the same exact thing he did, I’ll be damned if I’m asked to see my child less when I barely get to see them to begin with

This guy is an inconsiderate person you did not ask him to choose between you and his son there is nothing wrong with asking for a break in your condition and you are you have been talking care of his son already.Sorry for you maybe you’re better off with out him.

Yep you are in the wrong. Especially on father’s day. You 2 need to sit down and communicate and have him call his ex to see if he can switch days. If not you will just have to deal with it… Pkg deal. At least he wants to see his kid. I know several that just didn’t care and always made excuses. You both need to seek counseling before the baby gets here.

You did ask him to pick one or the other! That was unfair and does not bode well for your future together.

Good for him for leaving you!! A good man will ALWAYS choose his kids over his Gf/wife whatever the case may be. :clap:t2::clap:t2: You asked this man who gets his son on Saturdays to just not get him which would leave that kid heartbroken because you want quality time?!?

Normally I totally get the “I need a day… we need a day” especially before a new baby comes. BUT depending on how you actually worded it, you could easily be very much in the wrong. To start, thats not something you bring up a week before he is supposed to get his son. Thats a convo that should be had a few weeks prior in order to accomodate all involved, sorry momma 2 be, its not only you and him. And it may have been best approached by telling your other half that you really feel that you both need a day for just the 2 of you without any of “our” kids. And then together came up with a way to work that out. Asking any parent at the last minute to change their time with their kid(s) is just not fair and of course he is going to feel like you are wanting him to pick, because in essence thats what you did. And to those who say he handled it wrong, no he didn’t. He removed himself from an obvious heated situation. Hopefully with the intent to let things calm and cool down and then talk. But as a momma, pregnancy is rough and the stress of an argument or fight doesnt help any at all. So while maybe he should have communicated that he was gonna go stay with a buddy and hed call her later, or whatever the situation, at least he removed the stress from mlm omma 2 be and gave things time to cool down before furthing the conversation. Now if he packed all his belongings then Id agree, but she didnt say he moved out, just that he left. So until we actually know to what degree he left, then I wouldnt be so fast to say he was in the wrong. Not to mention if he had agreed to put his first child on rhe back burner to accomodate, then their would be a lynching fornhim because his child should come first.

And you mentioned on the weekends as in for the rest of the pregnancy??? I am hoping you are just having prego brain and that was either a typo or that you didnt really mean for the next 7 to 10 weeks he not see his child!

It’s probably the way you did it . You didn’t ask . You more demanded it. I wouldn’t like it either.

You are having a kid with a man. But you don’t have space for his son. If you don’t have space for one you don’t have space for the other. This kid probably already feeling some type of way because your kids have 24/7 access to his dad and now another one is being added. But the double edge sword is you are close to delivery. You’re hormonal. And you reacted off of emotion instead of logic

3 Likes

Even though I think you were wrong, I don’t see why he couldn’t have explained that to you and just left unless there was an actual argument.

You were wrong, but he’s wrong for expecting you to take care of him by yourself. The conversation should have been “I tend to do the majority of the clean up and taking care of your son while he’s here. I love him and love when he’s here, but I’m tired and don’t think it’s far that I should be doing all of the work.”

You don’t ask a parent to flat out not get their kid. You knew he was a dad. You knew that meant you probably wouldn’t get many days when it was just the two of you. Most parents don’t get those. You were making him choose between you two and a good parent will always pick their child.

I think it was wrong of you to ask him not to take him. Hire a babysitter next weekend to watch you kids so you can have a break.

I dont think you were wrong for asking to have a day for just the two of you but he dont get to be with his son everyday like you do your kids and that is hard for anybody so maybe you can get someone to keep your kids and you both can take a day off from work and spend it together when its not his time with his son because his time with his son is very important since he doesnt get to see him everyday and his sons mom might be difficult and wont switch days a couple of times so he can have his son on his other day off or if this hasnt been suggested maybe he should ask if for just a couple times before baby is born they can do this

Um if you don’t have space for five kids where will the baby go when it gets there? I think he overreacted but I understand his strong feelings of not wanting to choose you over the kid as a mother with 2 of my own and one with my husband I get paranoid about this too. Give it a couple days then try talking again.

I think he is and possibly you are lacking communication skills. I don’t think it a wrong to want to have a day alone just the two of you but once in awhile. Could a schedule for visitation be worked out better so you both are happy with it say you both have all kids every second weekend this way you both get your kids the kids get to play together and nobody is hurt or feels left behind and/or feeling one has to choose over the other. His leaving raises a red flag for me but if he feels that you are making him choose between his kid and you then that’s just how he feels because the communication is lacking or immaturity or he just really isn’t that into the relationship. I’m guessing the new baby is his so he needs to think things through. I will give him credit for wanting to be a dad to his other child many wouldn’t but another red flag is why is he so mad if you are doing all the work for that other child? I wouldn’t change it for Father’s Day either as that is supposed to be all about him and his children not you.

How old are you???

That’s kind of the deal when you decide to have kids and/or be with someone who does. All the kids come first. How do you think his son would feel if he told him he’s not going to take him that week? No no no no… If one extra kid one day a week is too much I’m curious how you’re going to handle a newborn :thinking:
