Rights as a dad

Alison_B

First scan is tomorrow. Yes, I am friendly towards the girlfriend and treat her just like a daughter when we see her. Haven't met her family yet but my son gets along OK with them although in the past few months, they haven't been seeing each other as much as they were due to the fact that she says she feels ill.

The situation at present is that it is the girlfriend and her dad that are making all the decisions about this pregnancy and my son is getting told. Surely he and the girlfriend should be making the decisions between them. When they do make the decisions, once she goes home, the decisions change.

We have got a meeting with the girlfriend and her dad next week, so hopefully things can get discussed.

Oh Alison , I really do feel for you. Our situations are so similar that it is quite scary :eek:

Juts continue to be there for you're Son , I imagine that he is quite confused and upset atm with the situation.

It is hard to watch them suffer at such a young age.

Take care of you and you're Son and please keep us all up-dated on the outcome.

Taxi36, I was reading your post and yes, our situations are so similar. I too felt the emotions that you first went though and also now feel like you do about the baby. You too keep us informed how your daughter is getting along. Think our first grandchild is due a couple of weeks before yours.

It is such a worry what life is going to hold for them at thier young ages. Had we had our choice, they would have waited until they were settled in life but that was not to be. I am sure that with everyones love, both our children will turn out to be wonderful parents to their children and we will be the doting grandparents that we always imagined we would be.

I don't think the baby should spend ANY nights away from it's mother - and I can't think of a judge who would order it. The child needs it's mother (I'm sorry but YES more than the father) to start with. If she is breastfeeding then to suggest even a few hours in the day away from her would be stupidity beyond belief.

Fair enough, doesn't mean the father should have to be away either...
