[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 215057, member: 1233"] I think many here have given excellent advice. I would weigh Steely's very strongly. Just because he is not doing what YOU see should be doen does not mean he is doing it wrong. He simply is doing it very VERY differently than YOU feel should be done.; My question to you is this: Why on EARTH would you WANT to be with a man who you clearly feel is such a terrible parent? For that is EXACTLY what you are saying. His child needs help, needs activities, needs parenting and he is REFUSING to do it. WHAT does this relationship give you? A chance to show him how to do it "right"? A chance to be the better parent? How would you feel if you had a child with this man and he parented YOUR child this way? You have VERY different values than this man. Unless you can find other common ground, you don't seem to have much to build a relationship on. But I KNOW I am not seeing the whole picture. And you truly don't have to tell me any of the answers to these questions. You need to tell yourself the answers. [/QUOTE]
