Father is cold towards our son

[trymybest2000]

We are a family living together with our 3yr old son. My partner/our son's father is emotionally cold towards our son. Our little ones hero is his Dad but his dad is non responsive to our little ones affection. I'm worried that this will affect our son's emotional security & make him grow into an anxious adult with insecurity. Little one will reach to hug his dad, and his dad will ignore it. I've spoken to my partner about this, explained my worries, and he just says "oh well". What do I do?

Throw him out. Piece of shit that he is. He will emotionally damage your child. You need to do something about it.

Ignore the poster above. Does your partner have a vision of what parenting should be like? Does he have any ambition for what he wants to do maybe he has an idea to go fishing together/build a tree house/play football/etc.
3 years a tricky age because everything is on the child's terms, but maybe it's possible to start bringing in things they both like.
Maybe if it's something like buses or trains then there's an opportunity for them to go bus spotting or bus trips together!
On the other hand if your partner has no ambition for what kind of father they imagine themselves being then you need to give them a metaphorical kick and get them to think about it.
Good luck I'm sure it will get better.

He is detaching and he will be leaving soon anyway. Start making plans for you and your DS.

When your son puts his arms out to his dad, say "dad, son wants you to pick him up".

Is your boyfriend on his phone at the time?

Poor manbaby just doesn't understand. You have to tell him how to not be a dick towards his child. Three years old is a tricky age because everything is on the child’s terms did an actual adult just wrote that a 3 year old expects things on their terms. Wtf and poor manbaby resents the attention the child needs for his development. Wont somebody think of poor manbaby.

Are you actually trying to help the op or is all this just a knee jerk response?

How did you help? She had a partner emotionally damaging her child and you expect her to train him. What utter nonsense.

I suggested communicating, problem solving, and finding common ground, not training anyone

What does he do that's positively helping? Does he do anything with his Son at all? What's he doing instead?

Yes usually :(
