Even if the child is sleeping, just being tucked in by a parent and knowing that a parent is there is she wakes up with a nightmare is very reassuring for the child. But again, if mom marries the guy, that makes him a part of her life, and household. In that case, Mom and stepdad are making a home that is secure for her. In that case, I think that dad should step back and follow the court order. What happens if the op gets remarried? or wants to start a life with another woman? should he then get approval from mom to have that person care for the child? I always gave my ex the benefit of the doubt regarding anyone that he chose to provide daycare for our child, untill I found out that she was taking our child out and shoplifting with her. Then I veto'd the person that he is seeing, and told him flat out that he will not be taking her again with that person living with him. Of course, there are a great deal more issues between us, but I won't get into it here. My point is (and I realise its a long time comming) that untill there is a reason for doubt, you really should trust your ex's opinion, because you would want her to respect yours. I guess I am still on the fence on this one.  maryjmc Joined: 3/9/2007 Msg: 78 Is it right for me to get mad if my daughters mom lets her new b/f of 3 months whatch our daughter Posted: 10/19/2007 1:01:58 AM Absolutely, you should be upset. It's your daughter! You should take care of her. It's your job as Dad to protect her. Stepping up is what you're supposed to do. You'll regret it if you don't do all you can to stay in the picture as a dad to your daughter. I'm appalled that a mom would let someone she only knows 3 months to be alone with her child. That's insane and just plain irresponsible. Stick to your guns DAD. Page 4 of 4 1, 2, 3, 4
