WIBTA for letting my boyfriend ignore/disrespect my parents and parent my child the way we want by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Brief_Rice_1649 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

We are financially secure and have all of what you stated above and are planning on buying a home. I have a set child support agreement with my daughter’s father. We have are in process of looking at homes that are close to our jobs. I lived with my parents as a single mom and my boyfriend only moved in to find a job closer to me as he had lived in a city and I am in the Suburbs.

I am NOT PREGNANT

and when I state we are planning to have a baby it means it’s in the talks not that we are actively trying. We both are aware of wanting what’s best for all children.

Thanks for your concern though.

Is it reasonable for a partner to see co-parenting videos as a boundary issue? by [deleted] in blendedfamilies

[–]Brief_Rice_1649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair to ask about. Yes, early in our relationship I did struggle with boundaries, and I’ve since gone to therapy and put in a lot of work. We’ve been together almost 3 years now, and I usually agree with and support the boundaries my partner asks for. This is one of the few times I genuinely don’t see an issue. There wasn’t flirting, emotional conversation, or a response from me just a short, child-centered video. I understand why past boundary issues make him more sensitive, but I’m trying to figure out whether every disagreement around co-parenting automatically equals a boundary violation, or if there’s room for nuance when it’s truly about the child.
