[QUOTE="witzend, post: 139648, member: 99"] Does her hubby have any money to pay half of childcare? L's dad is an attorney specializing in divorce and abuse cases. Let me tell you in no uncertain terms, if she wants full custody with limited visitation to himk she had better start pumping breast milk or introducing formula and looking for at least a part time job. It's good that she doesn't leave the baby's side, but has she thought it through what she will do with the baby when she's "hanging out with guys"? A baby doesn't belong there. And, in all honesty, I'd get her a depoprovera shot. There'd be no arguments about it. If it affects her breast milk, then she needs to stop breast feeding and change her WIC (she [i]is[/i] on WIC, right?) from peanut butter and cheese to formula. But I would absolutely lay down the law that if she is going to be in your home and/or expect you to babysit, she goes on a form of birth control that doesn't have to be administered every time. Period. Chores? She could start by folding laundry. If she's up to that, maybe empty the dishwasher or dust. Don't let it go too long since she asked, or she will take it that you don't want her to do anything because she asked and you said nothing! Phew! I don't envy you. At least L has been smart enough to not get pregnant yet. She's seen too many of her dad's clients (moms) and girlfriends lose their kids to men with a little more money and a little more clout than the girls. And in all honesty, it doesn't take a lot to have more money and more clout than L. [/QUOTE]
