Lazy dad advice

I'm looking for some advice and opinions about the situation. I'm a primary parent to 4yo boy, hands on mum. Always involved in activities with my boy. We spend weekends doing stuff together (softplays, museums, parks, bikes scooters, baking, lego etc etc ). My son loves activities. Sometimes he spends time at his dad's, who is living with his parents. He takes him there on his day off work. He doesn't do anything with our son, he falls asleep on a sofa, or leaves him with his ill parents when he is soo tired he has to have a nap. His parents are not capable to look after a child due to the disabilities so im a bit concerned about it tbh. He's been always like this that's why we split. We both work full time, he is just a very lazy man. I'm happy for our son to have a contact with his dad. I will be always the one doing more with him. My question is : is his dad's behaviour going to affect our son? Can he pick up bad habits from him? I just don't want my son to become like his dad.

In the long run, yes, he will pick up bad habits and bad attitudes from his lazy shiftless father. Some men just aren't meant to be dads.

It sounds like you have a great relationship with your son and enjoy spending time with him. If you can manage it, maybe better to leave him out of the picture unless he wants to step up and act like a dad.
