So you wouldn't mind basically a stranger coming into your house when your kid was asleep?? I would be pissed if I were the mom. |
have you never used a babysitter? the kid is 7, and dad spent time with her, and then she went to bed, babysitter there, and he went on a date. OP, you cannot extrapolate from this one incident whether or not he is a good or involved father and neither can anyone else here. |
No I meant if the date had come upstairs after the dad relieved the babysitter |
I was trying to make a distinction between full custody and some other arrangement which happens to be 50/50 - dude should be dating on the other 50, not his 50. That's the red flag. |
Guys we were at my place, not his! I would never feel comfortable going into a guys house when his kid was asleep and hooking up on the fourth date! And his baby sitter was his sister, so the kid was still with family. But I do kinda agree about he should be seeing dates on the nights he doesn't have custody. At the same time, I feel like it's nice he balanced seeing me after his kid was asleep. |
"Wanna come on up?" |
I have a 7 year old DC, and she goes to bed at 7:30. I don't see it as an issue that he left his sister, the child's most likely loving aunt, monitor her while she slept so he could go on a date on the weekend, likely the most convenient time for the OP. It is possible to balance having a child and a social life. OP, may I ask what time was your date? |
That’s not a red flag. That’s showing up for a relationship. |
Wrong |
My XH is perfectly capable of protecting our daughter from his date, if she came to his place. |
8. |
X2 million. I’m not getting metoo’d. |
New poster here, yeah, I’m pretty unforgiving about people spending time with their kids but leaving a sleeping child with their aunt seems pretty reasonable and a sensible way to fit in a Sat night date. Plenty of other opportunities for OP to see if he seems to be shirking responsibilities. |
4TH date eat him for snack |
oh yes this woman loves those crème filled treats |
