[quote=Anonymous]Don't force it. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. That's my take on my own situation which is very similar to yours but I have a 7 yr old. My ex very rarely does anything with our DD without me. The difference is we get along 95% of the time. I let him know about what we are doing and that he is always invited. If he shows up, great. If not, no big deal since I never tell my DD about it ahead of time. He may never want to take your child alone. This may not be a bad thing. There are plenty of women who stay in bad marriages to avoid having their DH take the kids alone. Make yourself boring and scarce when he comes to visit. Make it clear that he is here to visit your child. Go do laundry or start cleaning the bathrooms or something else boring. Say that you need to run to the bank or post office and you'll be back.[/quote]
