My daughter is 10 weeks, her father doesnt reply or ask about her for a week or 2 at a time, will cancel visits last minute most times, has only seen her every 2-3 weeks since first week for couple of hours a time max, wanders off for long smoke/ phone calls during these visits rather than focusing on her,
he's been making a big deal about having her alone overnight which i assume is due to him having already pretended to friends he has had "sleepless nights looking after her" which he pretended on his facebook profile, i offered to let him stay or me take her to stay at his to experience her overnight and he wasn't interested, when legally would i have to leave her as he is effectively a stranger to her, and is insensitive to her needs, insisting i should leave her crying, and that she shouldn't be fed unless its been 4 hours as it gets her in "bad habits" despite me explaining she sometimes feeds less so needs to sooner.
he has also never comforted her, just laughs at her expression if she cries and watchs tv or texts during his "visits" so in reality only holds her etc a few mins before getting bored
would i legally have to leave her alone with him at any age if he is still being as uncaring but still wanting her alone?
