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

A day off probably isn’t going to happen, you both have children, you could both maybe take a date night out?

Hes a great dad for picking his child over a girl, it was wrong of you … especially if hes around you and your kids all the time… it’s not fair for him …

Yes you were wrong. When you take on a relationship you take on their kids just like they’re your own, because they are your own. Would you want him to neglect the child you’re carrying for another woman? I almost feel as if this is a troll because you are just that wrong.

Your boyfriend is absolutely in the right here. Of course you should be able to have some time alone together before the newest baby arrives, but you schedule that around ALL of your children and their schedules. You don’t just get to decide that a child loses one day a week EVERY week with their father. Imagine if he told you he wants your ex husband to have your children every single weekend, and now you never get quality time with them outside of your hectic work week, which I imagine means you really only have dinner and bedtime with them. I wish you luck and hope the two of you can work it out, for all of your children’s sake. Congratulations on your newest addition.

He did the right thing a REAL MAN will never put a “woman” over their child especially if its only ONE day a week he gets to see him . Grow up you sound selfish
Hire a sitter when your kids are there 🤷 his time is already short with his child

When you got with that man and moved in together and had another child his first child should already be included as kid # 5. Technically your unborn is kid #5 and that’s your own fault for not better preparing that. When you get with someone and expect to be serious then their kids should be just as your own, he’s not just your boyfriends son, he’s your step son. I don’t blame you for wanting a break but your step sons time is more scarce, he can only come over on your days off so wanting a break from that is sacrificing the only time you have. Maybe plan early vacation days from work for that?

Wow. You are completely wrong for that. When you are with someone their kids are supposed to be treated like yours and you still see that child as an extra. You should’ve considered the amount of children you have and the amount he has before having another child. If your bf said “can you send the kids somewhere so we can have alone time?” On Mother’s Day weekend I’m sure you’d feel offended. It’s literally Father’s Day weekend. Smh good thing he left

NEVER discourage a parent from spending time with their child(ren)
He definitely made the right choice
It’s extra fucked up you would pull this for father’s day weekend…

I feel as if you were in the wrong. You’re both parents, 9 times out of 10 you’ll always have kids with you. That’s part of being a parent. Asking him not to see his son the one day a week he gets him is kind of rude.

I’m glad he left lol I would too if someone asked me to not see my child for the couple of days I do have. Tf you’re a parent dearie dating another parent you don’t get what you want the kids come first

Damn should of thought of these kinds of situations BEFORE you got pregnant from a man who has a kid. Most men barely even get adequate time with there children and youre asking him to miss the little bit of time he has with his child??? How did you think he was going to react?

You don’t have room for his kid, but do for your 3 and another on the way​:thinking::thinking::thinking:

He’s right to pick his child and leave.

Sunday is Father’s Day… I could see maybe just getting him for half the day Saturday and all Sunday instead of all Saturday, if you really need that. However Just like he said kids should always come before a girlfriend or boyfriend. You’re lucky he feels that way about his son, and hopefully will about the new one.

I think you’re being selfish. That is all.

He did the right thing. I as a woman would never put my child before a man and neither should a man. Doesn’t seem like he gets his kid much and then you want him to sacrifice the one day he does get with his kid for yourself. Seems kind of selfish. Why don’t you guys all do something together? Just my personal opinion.

I think he should change his day with son on a day he is off if he works Saturday and off Sunday then have son on Sunday what’s the big deal. His day with son should be on day he is actually with his son and not working can’t spend time with his son if he isn’t even there

Soon as I read the first sentence I stopped. Yes you are wrong regardless of what I feel or anything. His son comes first if you think otherwise step aside. Sorry not sorry. I hope he stays gone for the simple fact that you asked him not to have his own child there. But your kids seem to be so much more important. Hope he Moves on with someone who will love his kid unconditionally!!. Smfh. I had 2 step kids. Week on week off and every single weekend !!! Even during cancer treatments I would never and have never denied them to come over !

Your kids are going to grow up and leave the house. You parents need to have a strong relationship without them. When they’re gone you’ll be looking at each other like strangers because you never developed past mom and dad.

You are right girl. You need time as a couple.

Let the kid see his dad for Father’s Day though. Send them out the house and do some self care.

I’m sorry but you are wrong to have asked that of him and you are wrong for not at least trying to accommodate him coming to live with the two of you if that is what he wanted. I think you have an inkling already of that though or you wouldnt be asking. Is that what you would want for your children? A stepmother that makes it clear she sees them as a burden. An extra that isnt her responsibility? Unwanted by her. And how would you feel if your ex came to you saying he couldnt take them on his weekends because his new wife wants more time with him?

We dont have the full picture as we were not there. And I dont understand leaving. There has to be more to it than that. If there isnt, it sounds like he wanted to leave for more reasons than this one instance.

I’d say, you two should sit down and see if theres a compromise that can be made. That’s part of what a relationship is. Compromise. Talking through issues that arise. And I can think of multiple on this one. But your attitude towards his child is wrong. And before anything can be mended\fixed you need to acknowledge and change that. Hes a good dad for standing up for him instead of folding to make you happy and keep the peace. Mine didnt. And I hated him for it for a very long time. His child should be just as important as yours. Just as yours should be to him. Just as your baby coming will be to you both.

Woah woah woah…one day, one time?? Or every weekend?! Asking for one weekend of a break is not a big deal. Everyone needs a break sometimes. I ask my kids dad to take them sometimes when it aint his days. And he ask me sometimes to keep them on his days to spend time with his wife alone. If u thought this should be regular than hell no im with everyone else. Kids come first. But missing one weekend or switching the day or some shouldnt have mattered

It’s Father’s Day weekend… so yes. Also I’m guessing this was the straw that broke the camels back. The way you had to include there’s no way you’d ever let his Son,who has asked to live with his dad, live with you guys because YOU already have too many kids. Also, the fact that you get upset if he stays more than one day a week. You’ve shown him his son is nothing more than a burden to you, and you don’t care about him. You are a girlfriend, his son his part of him. Just be reassured now that the kid you have together will always be his priority too, and he will fight to be part of their life as well.

I think you were in the wrong. I know it must be hard and know what its like not to get a break but we are moms, thats what we chose.
Also being pregnant and having step kids, I can see how hard it is. Maybe apologize to him, yall talk it out and you explain you just needed a break from ALL the kiddos, not just his because he is not yours but actually all of them.
Maybe even throw in of had been uour own children you probably would had asked dad to take him/her for an extra day of rest.
Maybe make him realize you were not intentionally trying to drive a wedge between him and his son amd you are just overwhelmed.
He cant really see it from your point of view so i think that you have to explain it to him and also apologize for the oversight.

You weren’t in the wrong. As long as you don’t ask constantly there’s nothing wrong with asking for a kid free night every now and again. There are always other days he could make up the time with his kiddo…especially in the summer. I have 4 kids and I’ve been in the same situation before. Kids always come first but if he wants to be in a relationship there are ways to make it work. Sorry everyone else is being an ASS!

No. You absolutely are not. Every parent is entitled to a break ESPECIALLY if he isnt even there? Wtf? Everyone else commenting clearly has never taken care of step children.

How about your kids don’t come home for the weekend if you want a break.
His son is only there one day a week?
It is hard having multiple kids at once BUT you knew he had a kid when you got together you knew you also had kids when you got pregnant again.
If roles were reversed how would you take it?

You should never ask him to not take his kid. That’s shitty for the kid. And could cause a shit ton of problems with his kids mom that she could use against him. Maybe at least word it different. Ask him if there’s a weekend where you two could have alone time, but plan it out well. Don’t ask like that…

If you asked him not to take him on an ongoing basis yes that’s not right. If you gently asked if you guys could skip 1 weekend to spend together then I think that’s fine but he is entitled to be the one who had final say. It sounds like he’s a great dad.

You’re not wrong, for wanting a break. Some of y’all ppl are jus rude. Damn…she didn’t say she never wanted the child to come back over. It’s actually immature for him not to consider your feelings.

Being a parent is 24/7 so are you going to just push your child onto someone else when you want to have alone time? Hes your boyfriend. If you are serious about him then his children are yours too. I doubt he will ever tell you not have your child and im sure you are perfectly fine caring for your future kids. Why not his? Its selfish and u should have seen that before you even asked. Kids are not friends you can just cancel plans on. Imagine if his kid asked his mom “ why cant i see daddy today?” It’s heartbreaking.

Wow, not understanding how she is wrong for wanting to spend one day in solitude with her boyfriend. Everybody needs a break, even the most “perfect” parents. She never said she wanted the man to abandon his child or responsibilities as a parent, she has kids of her own. How realistic would that be? She just wanted to enjoy some alone time with the man in her life. It’s one day, not the rest of their lives. Get it together.

This weekend probably wasn’t the best because it IS Father’s Day, but I’d sit down and discuss a good day for you guys to have alone time. Whether that be you adjusting your schedule with your kids if you get them more frequently then he gets his son. I’m sorry for all these hateful and rude comments as well…
