Is it unfair of me to not let my child go to his father’s house alone?
So I am 8 weeks postpartum with my first child. My child’s father and I broke up around 3-5 days after he was born, we were only together for about 11 months. I tried my entire pregnancy to get closer to him and his family but was always met with pushback. After we broke up I tried to talk about how I felt, he told me he didn’t want to talk anymore and only wanted to speak about the baby.
A week and two days after my son was born I was rushed to the hospital for losing too much blood. I had a D&C and stayed in the hospital for two days. During the night after I came to in the hospital, he had been texting the whole day asking how the baby was doing. I can’t remember exactly what the conversation was but I remember saying I would let him know something after I got discharged in the morning. He proceeded to get upset that I didn’t let him know I was in the hospital and wanted to come take the baby. My family was with me in the hospital and he told me to only talk about the baby so I didn’t feel the need to let him know (also almost died lol). After this he started coming to see the baby for about 80 minutes each week, mostly being on his phone while holding the sleeping baby. His family came and saw us in the hospital when I gave birth for about 10 minutes. (They came, picked up the baby, huddled in a circle, took a photo of the grandfather with the baby then left) we saw his family three days after I told him to go home. There was a tense conversation that happened and that was how i learned we were broken up. His mother had to say it lol there was never a proper conversation between the two of us. He had also been caught in a lie by me but then lied to my face when I confronted him. Later her brought those things up and said he knew what he was doing.
Recently we have been discussing when the baby can see his parents. He asked if i would let our two month old go over there alone. Baby is exclusively breastfeeding and most used to me of course. I am not trying to keep the baby away from them but I feel like they have an issue with me. My thinking is if you don’t like the mom by proxy you will treat the child unfairly especially if I am not there. Also not willing to combo feed cause he is already sensitive to things I eat. I don’t feel comfortable with leaving him there alone until he starts speaking. I do not trust his father.
Thanks for reading I just needed to get that out and look for some advice.
8 months pregnant and my boyfriend hasn't told his kids
I (26) and my boyfriend (35) accidentally got pregnant after only knowing each other for 2 months. I think he's the perfect boyfriend, small gestures, grand gestures, wants to have the hard talks to improve our relationship, ex. However he's rather on and off with me. We will have 3-6 weeks of a good steady relationsip before he needs space that will last 1 day to couple weeks.
Fast forward to today and I am now 8 months pregnant and despite him showing much excitement and support for our baby he still hasn't told his other children that they will be getting a new half sibling. I've been trying to be patient about it cause I know it is a hard topic but it seems pretty late to be telling them. Any longer and it won't be you're getting a new sibling, it will be surprise their already here.
