Best dad ever

By Anonymous - 07/05/2023 03:00

Today, while going through our CCTV, I noticed that when my boyfriend gets home he walks past my daughter, even if she wants him to pick her up, and will ignore her as long as he can until I get home, and only then does he interact with her where I can see. I was tipped off by our babysitter. FML

Time for a new boyfriend. Preferably one who won't just tolerate your daughter in front of you so he can boff you. Imagine how confused your kid is by his behaviour... One of the problems of dating with kids is balancing who you want with who your kid needs. Your kid does not need this. She deserves better.

Yes, people need to want to sign up for wanting to be a parent. But good parents typically only want to date someone that wants to do that. And it's obvious that OP is such a parent, because the boyfriend was hiding his "not wanting too" from her. He doesn't want to be a parent and that's fair, but she wouldn't have dated him if he didn't want to be a parent and that's fair too, while you are acting like it's something she just needs to accept.

OP, I assume your boyfriend is not your daughter’s father, otherwise I assume you would have called him her father. He is not your husband so he’s not her stepfather. Don’t automatically expect your boyfriend to be your child’s father or stepfather. If he steps into that role it’s nice, but it’s not automatically his duty… As disappointing as that may be, it could be worse if he were giving her an inappropriate kind of attention. Be very glad that’s not the case… People usually “sign up” for the role of parent. It is a big and important responsibility. It is not wise to assume someone else else is going to automatically step into the role of being a parent to your child just because they are your BF/GF. If you find someone who is a good parent to your child or children, they are a treasure no matter their gender.

The bar for men is on the ground. "at least he's not molesting her". And men wonder why women are happier single

do you think the kid will eventually just accept that he's a dick? sure he doesn't have to be her new daddy but he literally does have to care for her. this would be a deal breaker even if she was just a cat tbh

In news from manhood standards from back when men had ******* balls (or in my case, ovaries): If you're dating a single mom, you're automatically supposed to help take care of the kid. Emotional neglect is not manly. Do the world a favor and never date again.

Tell her real dad to give her attention.

He's probably afraid to play with her when you're not present.
