Hello everyone,
Just wanted some advise really, if anyone has been in the same situation. My little boy is 7 months old and me and his father separated when he was 4 months old. When we was together he did absolutely nothing for him no feeds nappy changes naps bath bedtime ect. Since the split he has decided to step up his game and decided he does want to be involved.
He currently sees him for around 15-18 hours a week. Hes never had him overnight before and has never done bed time or got up in the night. Hes currently asking for him to stay over once a week. Does anyone think this is to young??? Since I've done it for the last 7 months I just think hes going to be really confused and upset. Hes stayed over with my mum twice in the 7 months and both times she said hes cried for 2 hours straight, really upset (not like him at all) so he hasn't stayed out since.
I feel bad saying no however as he is trying and wants to be involved, but I'm just worried about our little one being distressed without me there. Is there any need for overnights or should we stick to day time?
Any advise would be really helpful. Thank you x
