Co parenting?

So I left my baby daddy in April. And he has come to visit where I moved to w my fam . I have been way happier here. He slides for about a week and it’s been hell. We argue all the time & I don’t want to see him or his family ever again. So much so I agreed to let him take our son to his county 7 hours away for a week in August. We live 7 hours away but I never want to deal with my baby daddy & his fam again. What can I do ? He’s just one of the most inconsiderate, manipulative, assholes I have met. He complained to me about how a week is too long for him to take our son since he works but I have been unemployed since OUR son was born. And then he complains that I’m trying to keep him from his kid …Nothing in his life has changed. I just don’t want him here anymore. Me and my family tried to go out since he’s here to spend time with his son and he complained and set the negative tension mood that he always does. Me and my fam are not here to cater to him like … how u still gonna ask me to pay for stuff if im the one watching the baby 24/7. Like everyone in my fam works too. Me and my son ain’t even living w my baby daddy he has all the time in the world to make $. I don’t want anything to do with my baby daddy but I still have to deal with him. My son will probably be miserable for a week without me and my fam but my baby daddy has rights. What does everyone else do?

Smh my baby daddy just changed his diaper & didn’t put pants on the baby like he’s just lazy. All the days he has watched him bc I went to school in the morning my son is wearing the same thing he went to bed with and I’m like… really… & he says it’s pj day but it’s just being lazy.

I would say that you should have visitation court mandated and that way there is a pick up and drop off location, like a police station if that would make you more comfortable. That way everything is set through the courts as far as when your son is with you and vice versa whether holidays and summers. Or if you don’t want to go through courts explain your boundaries to him. So that there is a pickup and drop off location where you don’t have to interact with him as much, I would make a police station so that if things were to get out of hand you feel safer. It’s not the best outcome but it will have to do until you and your kids father are able to co parent.

I find it odd he comes and expected to stay at your family home. He should have got an Air B&B or something. I'd be very wary letting my baby go 7 hours away with someone who you call a manipulative asshole.. what makes you think he will bring your son back?

Penut 💕

Heyy guys Why am I embarrassed to tell my husband I’m using Penut “tinder for mums”?
One reason is, he had met 4 of my friends (2 of which are mums) I believe he may think why am I looking for more friends as my friends should be pulling through?
Awkward 😂

how are we affording to be stay at home mums? my fiance works full time and has a decent salary which realistically should cover everything but in this economy it does not but im so against my baby being raised by strangers i couldnt handle it personally no shade to anyone that does! so how do we make
momey guys i cant seem to find a weekend job or evening job at the moment but thats my only thought for now we get benifits for baby and some universal credit but not enough lemme know girls!

Just because you ain’t like my response doesn’t mean post misinformation

Not a cheater my husband and I are very open and communicative, don’t need to say more or prove more 🤣 your 25 please act 25, I’m 21, you posting gives high school, and if you mad I didn’t reply to you after girl just say that no need to post about me love

Rant!

Why is it that I see so much hate on this app granted most of it is loving a supportive but you get the odd one that is being hateful and disrespectful and this is an app for support and advice not hate if u don’t agree with something you see either say it nicely or not at all! I also did a post a while ago on sleep training asking for advice on what to do and stuff but the hole comment section was vile I just think this is a place where we should come together not tear each other down!

Is it just me or are there other people seeing this too ? ❤️
