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

You hella dumb for this one.

You’re pathetic for even asking him. That His child and he should always choose his son before all. You don’t have space for a 5th child as you say,but you’re pregnant with another child. He has a right to be pissed and it’s not freaking rocket science to make time for each other around one kid… he does sleep right? Poor kid.

You could have or should have asked him to get his son on Sunday the day that he’s off to spend time with him in this case switch days to Sunday since it’s father’s day so you and him could have the night together. I think most of these comments are not really getting what it is that you want.

That poor kid prob feel like the odd one out. Just the way you phrased him when describing the situation. A family is unity. Sounds like you got ur self a keeper. The way he stands up for his son is what he will do with your child on the way.

Yes y’all need a break but I agree a sitter would of done just fine

You damn right you are wrong. You dont ask someone to not get their child PERIOD

We all get you wanted alone time but it was wrong to ask. What if it was him asking you to not see your children. You need to also look at it in his perspective. So sad he would like to live with you guys full time and you didn’t even want him at least one day. :disappointed:

If u can’t handle being with someone who has other children n only sees them at weekends and just cos it doesn’t fit in with ur plans …ur not with the right person…round of applause to ur boyfriend for putting his child first i would do exactly the same. How would u feel if he told u to send ur kids away on his day off during the week u would be livid

Being a parent is a 24 hour job. If he takes his kid for the weekend find a baby sitter. If you want alone time. Your not in the wrong for asking. And he isn’t in the wrong for over reacting. But if you wanted alone time, you shouldn’t have so many kids.

Y’all need to quit giving her Hell. She asked him for ONE day. One.
I’m sure between work, pregnancy and the kids she’s exhausted and needs a night with just him. Y’all are acting like she’s asked him to quit seeing him altogether.
We are ALL moms and unfortunately sometimes we all need a down day.

I have five kids all the time so idk about that day off stuff, that was far and few between for us but I can tell you I would never give up time with my child if I didn’t have them living with me all the time for anyone or anything . Just my thoughts oh and Father’s Day is this
Next weekend so he should be with his kid I think but to each their own.

He works Saturdays & that’s the day he gets him? He’s not getting him to parent him. He’s getting him for you to parent his child. You have the right to your personal time. He doesn’t have the right to make you be his child’s babysitter. It’s good he moved out. I’m assuming he doesn’t take his kid on Saturdays now since he doesn’t have a babysitter.

Wow. Don’t blame the guy at all. And, it is fucking father’s day wkend!

You gotta lot of growing up to do. My ex from yrs ago had a daughter who we took every other wkend. Guess who drove back and forth sometimes over 3 hrs round trip to get her while he worked, or took care of her while he worked literally ALL wkend. She would see him for barely any time…but damn that time they got to spend together meant the fucking world to both of them!!

Karma is a bitch. I sincerely hope that your kids with your ex get the worst step mother ever. You deserve to feel the pain that I’m sure his child does with you.

Maybe if you had specifically said, I’m just tired and would love a day with just us before the new baby gets here, maybe even just for half of the day. I mean geeze people, the woman takes care of 4 children and is 7 months pregnant. It is commendable that he was so against not being with his son when he had the opportunity and had commit to that, but I think there could have been more conversation before he packed up and left. That seems dramatic.

If you need one day to take a break I don’t see the problem, especially when your kiddos are with dad for the day and you only have one child. Also if he’s working he’s not there with him regardless so I don’t see the issue, he should want you to relax. It’s important to relax a lil bit while your pregnant, especially that far along and with his child. Stress isn’t good on the baby. My pregnancies are HARD and having three kiddos to care for while pregnant is difficult especially during the lockdown when grandma may not be a call away anymore.

Yes it’s a lot of work but u chose this, u chose him and his kid as a package deal and you should treat his kid as your own. Saying he can’t have “his kid” over is wrong of u. I also applaud him for sticking up for himself and his child. Ask him to help out a little more but don’t put him in a position to choose

Hell of a man I wish my ex husband had the balls I’m sorry but you’re wrong
Over this 1

Would you not get your child? Can you think of any reason in this world that you would allow anyone to say you shouldn’t get your child. WTF is wrong with people??? My God you should do nothing but ENCOURAGE this man to get his child EVERY CHANCE HE CAN. Did you even think of the child im sure that baby wants to see his daddy

Good for him for picking his child first no matter what.

I get needing a break and wanting a day just the two of you, but perhaps that could have been phrased as “I’m tired and I’d love a day just us before the baby comes, can we plan one?”

He has ONE Kid and you have 3 or 4 I’m not sure but if the shoe was on the other foot is woman would be bashing him hard so be grateful he’s dealing with your multiple children when you only have to deal with one of his . Good luck to both of you and I’m glad he didn’t just let you bully him .

He sees his kid one day a week & you’re trying to take that away from him? His son and the child you will share soon come before anything, they come before you and your needs/wants. If you need a break which I understand, (as a pregnant mom and stepmom myself) then go out for day alone and come back better then you left. A man should never be put in the position to choose one or the other and maybe you didn’t realize at the time but that is exactly the choice you gave him. His son seems like he likes you and likes being at your house, you need to embrace that and embrace your blended family.

Don’t listen to all these haters… it’s not like you were trying to get him to stop seeing his kid, you’re just wanting a day where y’all can spend time together alone and focus on each other… EVERY RELATIONSHIP needs that once in a while to stay as strong as it possibly can so no I absolutely don’t think you were wrong just for asking for one day together… I’m sorry but if he left that quickly without really discussing where you’re coming from and trying to come to a compromise or solution then sound like he was looking for any reason to leave… that just my opinion… wish you the best of luck sweetie❤

I personally would have not asked my boyfriend that. I understand you’re a busy women , 7 months pregnant & want some time with your boyfriend . But the man only gets 4 days out of the month with his son… & asking him to take more time away from the very little time he gets with him already is selfish in my opinion … you never mentioned it , so I’m assuming your boyfriend has never asked an absurd favor involving your guys children , so why would you ? Hes with around your children too . If you
Have a problem caring for his child while he’s there , maybe that’s something you should have sit down and explained to him that your just worn out .
The thing I personally find most selfish tho , is the son wanting to move there & you denying because your children already live there & you don’t have “room”… now if tables were turned & that was your child wouldn’t you think you would have felt very hurt / disappointment from your significant other ?
I’m not trying to sound rude here, just being honest as I’m a step mom as well to a beautiful little girl that I care for and love just like I do my biological children, and I never once thought of asking my s/o that . Thats what sitters are for , so you guys can have a “date NIGHT with out kids.

All I’m gonna say is GOOD ON HIM! If you wanted a break without kids and he has his son, then you should find a way for YOU to have a break instead of asking him to forfeit time with his son. That’s a good man for choosing time with his son.

That is cruel, how could you do that, does he stop you from having your children? Does he make you pick him over your children? Why can’t you have 5 kids in the house?

I don’t think you are wrong I have had SO ask me to leave my little one for the night with my parents so we could have a night alone it’s just one day it’s not like you told him you don’t want his son around

You noted he has Sunday off work. Why couldn’t yous do something sunday after his son was to leave. If he only sees his son on saturday nights/sunday then why tf would you ask to take his 1 day with his child away considering said child only sees him 4 times a month then… seems pretty selfish weather it’s to enjoy time alone together or not. Pick a day he don’t have his kid. You don’t see him asking you not to take your kids. Smh. Maybe involve both yours and his kids into a family date thing. Never ask a parent not to take their child and be like “am i wrong?” like ugh yes your wrong.
So proud of your bf for putting his child first. You should also next time. I’d have left you and took my shit that moment you asked.

Jesus she wants a “date night” with her fella…(not fatherdays ) how many would get a babysitter or ask a relative to look after the child/ren to go out with friends or doing nights out… once in a while is fair enough not like shes out dumping her kids on whoever and getting wasted.

People need to have that 1-1 relationship time where its not mum and dad for a few hours.

You asked him not to take his Son on the weekends and in the end you said you just wanted to spend one day with him before your Baby arrives :woman_shrugging: … you dont have room for his Son but you have room for Baby on the way … :woman_facepalming:
As a Parent yourself, you should know better . Yes, you were in the wrong, if you wanted some alone time with him, just be straight up with him that thats what you want so you can mutually plan a time to do that - but dont be a sook and tell him that he cant see his Son . Thats a hell no, so you should understand why he packed up and left … yes, as Parents we eventually need a break and spend time with our partners but just dont bring it up like that to him . You really needed to think that over before you approached him like that … but anyway, all the best!

Honestly…GOOD FOR HIM!!!

You’re way wrong. You see noon every day. His child, sees him one day. And you’re asking him to give up that one day with his child. And not see his child for basically 2 weeks? He also deals with your multiple children daily until they go to their dads. If you didn’t wanna deal with kids 24/7 and when you didn’t have your kids, you shouldn’t have got with someone who had a child with someone else. He’s completely right, you have no right to ask him to give up any time with his child, especially when he only gets 1 day a week as is. What if he asked you to give up your time with your kids?

Its not wrong to ask for one single day… but not like every weekend… if he is already getting limited time with his kid that should be 100% top priority… If he were to miss or reschedule a day it should be VERY few and far between… He should ABSOLUTELY have the option to have his kid living there as well… I dont care if room is limited… Make room… Find. New place!

So let me get this straight you expect him to deal with your kids 90% of the time but you can’t deal with his son for a weekend ? How selfish are you lol. It’s his child I would have packed and left your ass to . His kid comes before anyone even YOU ; you can’t ask him to give up the only time he has with his child , I can’t imagine ever giving someone that ultimatum.

No, you are not WRONG! When u all met, I’m sure u all went on dates without any kids n it’s normal for couples to date continuously. Well when the baby gets here, leave it on him and take u a personal break, since he doesn’t want alone time without kids! I’m sure he’s going to love being overly suffocated by a newborn!:hugs:

Oh, i thought he only had his son 1 day out of the weekend, but i think you’re saying you watch his son saturday and he spends time with his kid all sunday? What if you go on a date and get a sitter.

I sure hope all of you people calling her selfish don’t ever leave your children with babysitters to go on dates with your significant other & never did in the past or do in the future take a baby moon, since technically that’s all this mama was asking for or voicing a need for.

On the other hand though, the way you refer to your bf’s child & the way he reacted to you voicing a feeling or need seems to show that you’re both not completely prepared for a blended family…
It’s not all black & white, wrong or right in matters like this one, it’s about balancing things out for the well being of everyone that is a part of the family you both are creating together.
From personal experience I would suggest family counseling.
Parenting & Marriage are both very hard in general, when you have to add blending families together to create one household it’s never something simple.
Expectations & boundaries need to be discussed & set from the get go otherwise you’ll both just be creating resentments towards each other and/or towards kiddos who at the end of the day never asked to have any part in any of it.

Wishing y’all the very best!

Amen to your boyfriend,
I understand what you ment by asking for just one weekend but he only gets that day with his son, my son goes to his dads on the weekend and if his girlfriend forced him to not have him firstly my son would literally think his daddy doesn’t love him anymore and would be so sad. That day is there day to bond and spend together please let him have that day and sort out another day maybe put your kids in childcare or something and a day off work just a day and spend that day doing something special. That day he has with his son is so important

I am currently pregnant with my boyfriend and have my own kids we never get time together alone anymore,
He doesnt have any other kids but if he did his kid would always come first being a parent you should know how important they are kids always come first before our own wants and needs it doesn’t matter how selfish we want to be , being a parent is the most selfless commitment we sign up to. It’s our job to give our everything to our children.

Unpopular opinion:
I don’t think you’re wrong for this at all. You’re just asking for ONE day with just him. Relationships need that. Maybe try to approach it differently. Help him understand that you’re tired & want some time before a new baby enters your home. I would plan to have one day each month just you & him. Then a different day each month plan to have all kids together.
Then a different day each month let him have time with just his kid & you just your kids.
Also remember that y’all are now a blended family. It’s hard but such a blessing. Hope this helps :black_heart:

You shouldn’t have gotten into a relationship with someone who has a child if you weren’t ready to also have said child. The way I was raised, if you get into a relationship with someone that already has kids, those are your kids to love and care for as well.
Stop picking favorites, or let him stay gone.

This is all so much. First off where 3 eat 5 eat. People freak out about more kids but you honestly can make room for them all. Your choosing not to and the fifth one in the equation is the one in your belly not your step son because he was already in the picture when you chose to start this relationship. How is it okay that he lives with your 3 children but his living with you wouldn’t work. Now you are entitled to be tired and want alone time and if you get that time off with your kids it’s not wrong to want alone time from one that isn’t yours as well especially if your the one watching him. But since he deals with yours more than you with his and you see yours more than he sees his I think it makes sense why he took offense to it. It would of been better to ask for a babysitter or for you to agree on a day that is ideal for both without offending him since he doesn’t see his son often. It’s also not your obligation to watch him but think about that when he’s living with you and your kids and what kind of relationship or help you ask of him to your kids who also aren’t his. You gotta look at it both ways and how you will approach it. But In the end it’s definitely normal to want alone time and a break from the kids especially pregnant and almost ready for a new baby in the home. Means busy busy busy and not so much rest.
