Hey,
So me and my ex split when my LB was 7 weeks... he is now 22 weeks. In this time his dad has had him on his own a limited amount of times.. he used to have him a Saturday or a Sunday for a few hours but phoned me whenever he had him when baby cried stressing that he didn’t know what to do.
Understandably this made me anxious for him having him, I couldn’t relax when he was there and was constantly waiting for a phone call .... we had a discussion which turned sour and resulted in him not coming to see baby for a couple of weeks.
When he finally did come to see him, he asked about having him.. but I said he needs to learn his routine build a bond back and get to know his child and be comfortable.. so I had been there whenever seen him. (A couple times a week max)
I have been self isolating due to someone in household testing positive, so babies dad hasn’t seen him for 14 days.. as isolating period is now over he came tonight at 4pm give him his tea helped bath him then left at 5pm. I asked if he was seeing him tomorrow.. which he replied he is spending the day with his daughter (who is 11years old)
Am I been unreasonable in thinking it’s not fair he spends one hour with our son but a day with his daughter. I believe it’s because she is easy as that age they care for themselves. But surely after 2 weeks of not seeing your son you would want every spare minute to be with him??
I move house in a week, so I stupidly presumed he would be around this weekend to help with baby so I could pack etc but clearly not.
Should I say anything??
I feel like I’m literally doing it all on my own while he gets to live his carefree life!!
I love every minute with my baby but he does not like sleep very much at the minute and I’m one exhausted mummy!!
