[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 758105, member: 18958"] overcome mom makes a good point which I overlooked. With this guy in the picture the baby is vulnerable and if the baby is vulnerable the whole family is. Engaging with this situation as it is, is to try to pretend there is no leak in the boat as it sinks. Even if you watched the baby while your daughter is at work, there have to be times when this deadbeat is alone with the baby. If I think about this, it terrifies me. How can your daughter take this risk? I think I agree with overcome mom and I agree with you. This situation is a leaky boat. It can't be fixed. He is the Dad. He is at home. Let him go to the police or whatever, turn himself in, pay the fine, etc. If you want to help with the baby, you can watch the baby a 2 or 3 days a week, on your terms, and he can take on the responsibility of his child. Totally, I agree with overcome mom. This legal issue has to be faced or the baby could be snatched. I am quivering as I type. You can't make your daughter face reality, but you can make your help contingent that she do the right thing for her child and for herself, by keeping things as they are, and taking the baby once a week, and more when you want, but not on a regular basis.
