Am I wrong to expect him to do all the running around?

Me and my ex split up at xmas, he left me and my son the day before christmas eve. My son is 2 and wasnt well, he saw him for a couple of hours xmas day an then didnt bother for 2 weeks, not even to see how he was. It then came out that he was seeing a 19year old girl that worked in the pub he went into.

Since then he has been having our son most weekends, but ive been dropping him off on a friday with his mum an then picking him back up on a sunday at whatever time he's asked. But ive had so many people telling me that he should be picking him up and dropping him off. An baisically im been too soft. So would I be wrong to tell him to pick him up and drop him off from now on?

His introducing his gf to both his kids this weekend, quite worried how its going to effect my son :(

Not unreasonable at all to expect him to collect your son and bring him home. Is there a reason he has your son every weekend as that seems quite a lot?

I imagine at 2yo it will go right over your sons head him having a girlfriend but if you are not comfortable with him meeting her then tell your ex!
