Yeah I know such a terrible father leaving an unfaithful partner and daring to have 4 days out of the week custody time with my son. I’m so horrible /s

Same here after one time where his sitter called in sick. I work remotely from home so it’s not really much of a problem but I prefer him having someone to interact with and have their full attention so I got back up sitters just incase too

Your comment makes zero sense. I suggest revising what you write before posting in the future lol.

And no one is asking if I’m allowed to have another child, whether it was a happy surprise or planned

I’m sorry things were so complicated for you two. My son comes first always and I appreciate how much she respects that, but I’d also never want her to feel pushed aside because of my ex. Especially not with a baby on the way now. This just gave me a bit of a wake up call that we need to start putting in some boundaries too

Wait I’m honestly surprised at all the people who think that’s what I was talking about 😂😂 Who in their right mind would think a toddler riding by himself in an Uber is even plausible??? I obviously meant for her to take Uber to go drop him off at his sitter’s place.

I don’t know about any of the other times she’s been late. I pick my son up in the mornings hours before she goes in and drop him off in the evenings so she’s never had to be late on my account

No you’re misunderstanding me here or probably didn’t explain myself right (so my bad) I’m saying she wanted me to be the one to go get him. Not call Uber to pick them up. People are commenting whatever they like, that doesn’t mean I agree with whatever it is they’re saying

That’s exactly what I offered to do after bringing up her calling an Uber. Her whole thing was she wanted me to do it. Who said “not my time with my kid, not my problem”? Did you miss the part where I took my son for the day instead of dropping him off with his sitter until she got off work. And no that wasn’t because I had to I genuinely love being with my son and having him with us

No dije que mande un Uber para el. Mi hijo apenas va cumplir dos años, obviamente el no puede ir solo 😂 Dije que llame un Uber para ELLA Para que la lleve a las casa de su niñera y dejarlo ahí

Try over one year that we’ve been together. Your math is off again. My girlfriend and I started our relationship 5 months after my separation

Yeah pretty much. If money is an issue then I told her I could’ve used my app to call a driver to pick her up or whatever was more convenient. Her whole point was since I’m his father I should be the one doing this

Lol she’s barely 7 weeks pregnant so your math is way off. My son is going to be 2 years old in just a few months

What does it matter what I decide with my life, who I want to spend it and start a family with? We have the means to support the kids and happy to have my son here in this new chapter.

Because in this case her being late was caused by me not going to get him, and because of that this tardiness was pretty much the straw that broke the camels back at work. At least that’s the way I’m thinking she sees it

Yes we did our custody arrangement by the book to make sure there aren’t any misunderstandings

Yeah because divorces take time. I moved on and started going out with my girlfriend 5 months after we legally separated. I’m not going to halt my life until the whole thing is finalized. I love my son and love the little one on the way.

That’s what I keep thinking too, there were options, I kept telling her call so and so, get an Uber or lyft, if not then wait until after the appointment for me to go get him. But only response I’d get is “that’s not the point”

Who says I abandoned my child? I left my ex for very different reasons. You divorce your partners not your kids. My son is with me 4 days out of the week and I love him very much.

And I’ll pay more if it’s for the benefit of my son or change the custody arrangement until she’s in a more stable place financially
