Some people are pure evil!
Whether the dad pays or not, whether the dad even sees the child or not is irrelevant.
The child has family that WANTS to be there, anyone who wants to be in your child’s life, wants to love them, is a bonus in my eyes. A child can’t have too much love. So many children grow up without family around them; why put your children in that situation out of spite? Obviously if the family are not treating the child right or are a danger to them, then that is completely different! X

Yeah. Just cause he don’t wanna be a parent doesn’t mean the grandparents and aunts and uncles don’t wanna!
If the family wants to be involved and they are trustworthy then there shouldn’t be a problem.
This is dependent upon of you an that family are. If you’re good with the family and they understand the situation without judgement against you then yes I would definitely do so with obvious boundaries. If not then I say no they can get their time with the baby when the dad does and if he never does then oh well guess they out of luck.
Never hold any child over anyone’s head!!! If family wants to see child absolutely I would. They have nothing to do with how the Dad is. Give your child a fair chance to know other family.

So he got to pay order for hum or his family to be involved with his child. You sound real ignorant.
Depends on his family. If they are responsible and able to keep baby daddy in check-ish, then sure …
Why would you keep the family from the baby? I absolutely loathe my baby daddy, he doesn’t pay child support and my daughter doesn’t even know who he is, but his family is wonderful and they can see my daughter as much as they’d like

Imagine your child is grown up and has a child of their own but isn’t responsible for that child. Would you want to be a part of that baby’s life? If they are making the attempt to be a part of that kids life I would see where it goes. There are so many kids who have families and they make no effort in their lives. Just because the dad isn’t much of a father doesn’t mean his family isn’t a loving caring family who could be positive influence on your baby. Wouldn’t you want your kid to be surrounded by as many loving people as possible?

So for the wrongs of one man you will punish the child over it. Your kid is going to grow up resenting that you kept it away from family that wanted to be part of it’s life over a fight about money… Hell while I’m at it keeping the kid away from the father over non payment is just down right stupid. The baby is a baby not a pay per view… Just saying…

This question is wrong from the start should be would you allow your partners or exs family to have a relationship with there grand child not the father as men are made to be the bad ones in these posts and some women use there children as weapons as if the child enjoys spending time and seeing the family there is not a reason why they can’t until they do something or get involved and make things difficult then never stop people being I’m children’s life’s as your hurting not only your self but your child
If they are decent people and your child is safe around them, why not. It’s not their fault your ex is a jerk. Family is important and your child deserves the right to know that side. Now having said that, anyone who is low life, a threat or a bad influence should not be around your child no matter what side of the family they are

Absolutely. Your child deserves to get to know all of their family, regardless of whether the dad is being responsible.

Who are you hurting?..more than anybody, you are hurting the child!! The way I have always looked at it…I am going to provide for my kids, I don’t need your money, but the right thing would be for dad to help, but I am still not denying my child their father/ his family( even if they come around once a year) whatsoever because I feel like they should be contributing!! Don’t keep them babies from having a dad, and grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, you might not always be here, then what them babies gonna do?
Yea. My baby daddy is not there. Doesn’t so much for his kids. Hell don’t even call. But if his mom, step dad or grandparents wanna see my kids I will meet them and let them take them. Don’t punish your child or even his family just because he won’t step up! This shouldn’t even be a question.

Th ER baby needsto know his whole family.
Unpopular opinion, I was in the same situation, my daughters father wants nothing to do with her and his family is just as toxic as he is and supports him neglecting his kids, if they are disrespectful towards you and provid a toxic environment around you and your child, then NO, BUT if that is not the case and they are lovely people and just wanting to have a connection with that said child then it is wrong of you to take that away from them.
You have to think of what is best for said child, if you are only doing this because of money or yourself that is WRONG. It’s about a safe comfortable environment for your child and of they can provide that then why say no?

If his family wants to see the baby and be a part of his life why not? His family has nothing to do with him being a crappy parent.

So confused. Being on child support has nothing to do with responsibility. What does his responsibility have to do with his family?!
If the family are good people then yes I would. That child deserves to know both sides of there family despite the fathers actions or lack there of.

Why punish people who can love your child and care for them due to one person? I would let them see the baby. It isn’t their fault and your child is missing out on another loving family to have in their life.
When I divorced my wife I didn’t divorce her family. I thought the world of her dad. They were always welcome in my home. She on the other hand was different

My sons dad hasn’t saw him in almost seven years. His parents still drive down to see their grandson 2 times a year (they live about three hours away). It’s his grandparents of course I let them see him.

If you let the child see the family one day he will realize how awesome your were to let him have that part of his family even if his dad didn’t deserve him . 
Your child deserves to know who their family is. If they’re good to your baby why would take that opportunity for healthy relationships away?
If they are responsible and treat your child well, absolutely. My niece’s father hasn’t been in her life since she was about two, to the point where his parental rights were revoked by the courts so she could be adopted by her stepfather. Despite that, her father’s parents have been in her life since her birth and she has a great relationship with them. I see no reason to deny your child a relationship with their family so long as that relationship continues to be beneficial to your child’s well-being.
Even if the dad is a deadbeat… it doesn’t mean the grandparents are. If there is no reason your child would be in harms way… please let them see your baby! Grandparents are important in children’s lives, they are blessings.

Scary times. We all need all the family we got. If you don’t let your child know their paternal family and that irresponsibility and failure are NOT hereditary, how will they ever believe they can be better than their fathers?
UM. YA? ABSOLUTELY . People are freaking petty.
Oh Lord!!! Why would you deny your child the opportunity to have more family and be loved as much as possible. You are punishing your kid not your ex.
Why would you punish them because of him? I did this to my daughter and now she has no connection with people who could love her and be there for her. I was Young and stupid
