To expect my exp to wait longer than 2 weeks into his new relationship to introduce her to my son?

He brought her to my house to pick him up when he'd been with her almost 2 weeks, I didn't even know he had a girlfriend!

My son has came home and told me he sometimes sleeps between them in the bed.

AIBU to be hurt and feel weird about this from my son's and my own point of view?

That's my point though, he goes through girls (and they are girls) and my main worry is the confusion its going to cause. There's no use trying to speak to him cos he will never listen, he sees it as me telling him what to do, not what's best for ds, he's not interested

well i think you are going to have to talk to him and see if he will accept your point of view

otherwise you may have to just try and preserve your sanity by not thinking about it too much

and provided your son is well looked after he will probably be surprisingly easy going himself if he feels loved and secure and you havent indicated that your ex isnt a loving parent

hmm well he lives with his parents, so they obviously haven't got a problem with him doing this

i am guessing that as he has a court order then sorting out his access was the subject of some discussion

do you wish he didnt have overnight stays at all?

Surely it isn't too much to ask that he has one night away from his girfriend to give his son 100% attention. After all, he has him so rarely.

I would speak to his mother woman to woman she will understand your discomfort.

You have to make sure that when putting the point across the problem is not that he has a new GF but with the fact how quickly he has introduced this new woman into your DS's life and your concerns of your DS experiencing lots of different woman coming and going which is unsettling for him and the fact that you do not wish for your son to sleep in beds with people that are strangers to him.

farking nora. you need a full crb check to read for an hour a week in a primary school but a NRP can have any old person sleeping in the same bed as your child...
