@Elisa he is protective but he just doesnāt wanna do anything the right way
She is 9 months old and he's giving her candy to eat??š³!! And also calling a baby a "fucking crybaby" when they are upset and tells her to "shut up". Also will not put her in the car the proper way for her safety!!! What on earth did I just read!? I would not leave my child with this 'man' for one second. Regardless if he has other kids or not. Hes not abusive? Just verbally- to a literal baby when they are upset!! this is wild.
@Jen I donāt wanna say he canāt take her cause I want her to spend time with him. And I need a break sometimes or have things to do. I still trust him with her he just has a backwards way of doing things and doesnāt wanna listen to me. when sheās older though Iām probably gonna put my foot down on her going over there if heās not doing what I say. but for now I just let it rock. I know he sounds terrible in this post š but itās just how he grew up he doesnāt know any better and is too stuck in his ways.
I can relate slightly . My childās father is amazing and we are both black & he says the same crap about the way I raise my older daughter ( not his ) and try to implement certain things with our daughter. Itās always thatās to āJohnny Johnny ā or āwhiteā. He is pretty patient but if he hereās too much raucous or whining heās yelling and getting frustrated. It used to give me anxiety. However in your cause it seems heās being slightly negligent & Id have to check him on a few things. He needs to work with you and what is comfortable and expected.
@Jen no offense at all because I know you just want your daughter to have a relationship with her dad and to have time for yourself as well, but if anything I would think you would want to be more strict while sheās still in her infancy rather than when sheās older. Right now sheās at a more vulnerable period for her safety and well being, and can hardly speak up for herself if sheās ever uncomfortable or feeling neglected. If youāre seeing it for yourself, such as the unsafe way he has her in the car seat and not wiping the pee off her body, you have to be her advocate. Just because he has other kids doesnāt mean he knows what heās doing and it certainly doesnāt mean he gave them the best care. Trust your instincts and reassert those boundaries. Hood or not, his baby shouldnāt have to suffer the consequences of his irresponsibility. Her growing up ratchet would be the least of my worries based on what youāve said so far. But do what you think is best
