So my judgy pants are on and high. Oh well.

However aibu to think when you've been with your bf for 3 weeks whom you got with a week after splitting up with your ex and met in a club the day before he shouldn't be getting a tattoo of your 6 month old. That's a tad red flaggy right?

I'm struggling to think why you'd do that however this mum is known widely for using her DS's as an accessory rather than a child

Eeeek. Sounds like a complete weirdo.

Pangaea · 12/07/2014 00:26

Yeah it is weird. His body though. His mistake to make.

ShadowFall · 12/07/2014 00:28

That does sound very odd.

YouSayBelloISayPoppaye · 12/07/2014 00:28

it's okay though cause she loves him Grin It just makes me sad that this boy has had 8 'dads' in 6 months

Oh, so wrong on so many levels. And I'm a bit fan of tattoos. What's your link to this, OP?

Even if she uses her child as an accessory (poor mite), how does that transfer to her new bf doing something so mind-numbingly stupid?

Are you talking a portrait? They're so difficult at the best of times and only ever turn out well if you've researched your artist really well and paid a shed-load of money. Which I'm willing to bet won't be the case here. He'll end up with something like these!

SiennaBlake · 12/07/2014 00:33

Huge red flag! Why oh why.

YouSayBelloISayPoppaye · 12/07/2014 00:33

It's his names and dob the length and width from his wrist to his elbow Blush So not even something that he can cover up when they no doubtfully break up in a weeks time

It's just so weird haha

SiennaBlake · 12/07/2014 00:35

I don't even find it "weird haha". It's worrying.

AnnieLobeseder · 12/07/2014 00:35

And here.

This one is my favourite.... the sparkly eyes swing it for me!

AnnieLobeseder · 12/07/2014 00:37

Aw no portrait? But still, weird as fuck. And that's putting it politely. Has he already had it done?

You can tell him from me that lasering tats off hurts like a bastard. Seriously, I'd rather give birth!

kawliga · 12/07/2014 00:40

That is not 'a tad red flaggy' it is seriously fucked up. Nothing to do with the tattoo, more with his trying to show a closeness to a baby he has just met, when that baby has a vulnerable mother that is tumbling from one man to another. I can't believe this is turning into a thread about tattoos. Way to miss the unfolding human tragedy. That poor baby Sad

YouSayBelloISayPoppaye · 12/07/2014 00:40

That is creepy.

The thing is Sienna --love that character* She's one of those peoples that protest to be the worlds best mum, doing everything for their child etc then it's followed by "here's me at this bar" "here's me at the bar after", "here's me drinking", "someone buy me fags", "this is my new boyfriend i love him", "DS loves his new daddy" then her 'friends' and family then proceed to tell her to grow up and be a proper parent and how she needs to stop partying all the time and stop giving her DS to her parents/friends/tom/dick/harry etc. I don't doubt she loves him for a second but when he's not being cute and needing to be taken out in public so people can awww over him she really doesn't care.

If she spent as much time with the child then what she is drinking you wouldn't bat an eyelid

Yeah annie it was captianed with "awww look what my baby did, how lovely"

AnnieLobeseder · 12/07/2014 00:43

Poor girl, and poor baby. I hope she grows up soon. Sad

kawliga · 12/07/2014 00:43

Are you her friend? Could you try to help her instead of judging her?

AnnieLobeseder · 12/07/2014 00:44

Are you sure he really had it actually tattooed, not just drew it on with a Sharpie? Because that really is beyond weird as fuck.

YouSayBelloISayPoppaye · 12/07/2014 00:47

The only help she wants is babysitting when she wants to party. We've all (family close friends etc) have all tried to talk to her and say she needs to change, her DS isn't a toy and she can't keep giving him to people when she wants to go out clubbing etc but she doesn't care.

She got pregnant on purpose because babies 'are cute and fun' she admitted her parents have her DS more than she does and she doesn't care.

There isn't a lot any of us can do god knows what would happen if people stopped babysitting for her, I wouldn't put it past her to leave him alone tbh.

Really? If I truly thought someone I knew was capable of leaving their baby alone I'd be hoping the situation was being monitored. Don't think the tattoo is the issue here...

YouSayBelloISayPoppaye · 12/07/2014 00:52

pass she knows her parents would look after him. So her parents are the ones basically raising monitoring him

OP posts:
SiennaBlake · 12/07/2014 00:54

These are the kind of people who end up in the news for leaving their children with someone they've known a week who then kills them :( it's so sad

passmethewineplease · 12/07/2014 00:57

How old is she? Are there any other concerns about the little one?

Sounds like a situation that could escalate.

I once knew someone who started to miss going out when she found out she was pregnant, it lead to her leaving her baby and sodding off out anyway. He was removed from her after that..thankfully

YouSayBelloISayPoppaye · 12/07/2014 01:02

shes's 18. Not really I mean when their is an audience to play up to she'll be wonderful and do the best she can, when there is a bar/party/club/restaurant/film/boyfriend/friend etc then she couldn't gives off the appearance that she couldn't care less about him and hands him off to the nearest available person. Even her brother took to one of her facebook status about how bad she is and how her parents raise it and her reply was "lol oh well"
