60 Minutes... Big Deal?
I'm not 1 to ask others for advice, I usually give it. However, this time, some would be nice.
A few days ago, I posted a question asking if I should let my daughter's father see her. I realized that I left out some parts of the situation.
@ the moment, he claims he "can't drive" due to legal reasons. Okay, fine. My family's been telling me he needs to & should find a way to come out to me... which is true. Between the both of them, I'm a little stressed out.
After some debating, I finally decided to drive to his house so he could see her this past Monday. He lives an hour away.
I don't want to keep them from each other, but I can't continue to constantly travel out there. I'd hate to be 1 of "those moms", but it's a tad frustrating.

I think that he is being completely lazy and inconsiderate! No matter if he has a car or not he's a man and has a little baby girl now! If he had to catch a bus, walk, hike a ride it shouldn't matter as long as he gets there. He's not making it a priority! And I think you driving it there all the time is making it to easy for him. He's going too get comfortable
Do you know what the legal reasons are that he can't drive?
If a man told me he can't drive for "legal reason", my next question would be um, what? Why aren't you allowed to drive?

@Nicky53014 That's what I've been told. Part of me knows that's true, then again, I don't want her to not know her father. Which is why I drove there in the 1st place. My mindset, @ the time, was "f*ck it." @RockRose His license is suspended. According to my brother, who did some digging up on him, it's suspended because of his failure to pay child support. What's messed up is, he wanted to see her today for Thanksgiving. Said he'll be driving, wanted to meet up. You can drive today, but can't come out to see her?
I hear what you saying but tough love lol I bet he finds ways to do what he wants to do tho
It's sad. Wish we could figure out good and bad guys before a baby is made. I don't think you 'have' to make lots of trips to see him but leave the door open for whenever he can get to you.
However, how much 'will' he when he is a dead beat dad to someone' else's kids. Sad situation for your daughter.

@Nicky53014 I've already decided that I'm not going back over there. This isn't going to be a 1 sided thing. Okay, you don't have a car, but you can find another way to come see her. This is your daughter! @specialmom It's all good. He already has a son (& other kids, but he doesn't take care of them). I know how to pick em. :/ @loy_92 Agreed.
