Ok chaps, thus the situation is:

When I was wi the ex, I got talking to a lass who was pretty, she was however 5 months pregnant. She wasnt with the dad, we kept texting then when I slumped into disastrous depression (as you all know) she was there for me and texting an stuff.

The catch is thus, we are sorta seeing each other now, and obviously she has had the kid and stuff, shes cool too Smile however theres a question over who the dad is, between 2 lads apparently, one I know of, hes a mate of mine and has been for years, the other I didnt know until today.

Ill be honest, think your worst enemy and multiply by 100, hes just an absolute ****, me and this lad have never got on since day one. Since she has told me, today, that he is the other contender, its knocked me for 6 I must admit, I just dont know what to think or do really.

I mean I said I would look after the kid as if she was my own cos Im good like that, I think there are a couple of lads with similar situations on here (kids by other parents etc) and its the right thing to do. But, if it has anything to do with him, I dont know.

What do I do from here? What are people's perceptions? Am I being a bit of a !!!! or do people understand my feelings?

Its like I cant think straight at the minute, at all.

Arggggh!!!! We give him a very basic for petrol and uni food. No socialising money. His current account is giving him a no charge/interest overdraft - what example is that to set to young people. He has lied to us about his money too - I have to open his post and I don't care if it is private, if it saves him, I will do what it takes! When he grows up, he will get the adult respect.

He won't look for work, at least he has stopped dipping into his savings but he is doing my nut. He says I am an adult but acts worse than he did at 5.

This place not selling yet and got negative feedback about our decor when they have a place to sell and they stank:(

You say he is a contender..... for what your gf's love? Has she not chosen you? Or does she not know what she wants.

If this lad is the kids Father, like it or not, if he wants to and the Mum agrees, he will have something to do with the kid. You will have to get used to it.

The Mother and child come as a package, complete with ex and Father and all. You have to be able to cope with it. It won't be easy.

Maybe a talk with your gf about it would help, what she sees as being the fathers part in the life of her child.
You could be a good Dad by the sound of it, but you need to go into the relationship for the girl, not thinking of looking after the child.
That will come as well and you obviously need to think about it. But surely its your love for her you should be thinking about, not if the child would see his father.

So true, apologies for the hissy fit earlier, calmed down, it just took me as a surprise, as you say, its for me and her, it will all be fine.

Cheers though beer, some sound advice.

Hi folks,

Just back from London and my practical.

Before I go I may I please make a request? No-one tell me I'll sail thru with flying colour or anything like that.
This is a really difficult course and i've not much time - and i'm not well AND don't want to study. If I don't make myself do loads of work AND get some luck then I WILL FAIL! (Sorry but everybody keeps saying it will all be ok when they have no idea what's involved). Rant over.

Anyway...
The practical is an examination of a workplace and you write a report.
The only example of which we are given has all sorts of obvious hazards.
So we get into the mock-up and it's their own offices. No oil spills, no dangerous chemicals, nothing particularly wrong!! Panic!!

They reckon there should be about 30 things wrong - i found about 12. Waffled and gave good marks for things that were ok and padded it out. You are spost to pick on 5 major areas for improvement - I only reckon there were two!! So waffle, waffle, waffle.

After we got out we were all talking. I definitely missed three major hazards. Some others said they struggled but others seemed much more confident.

I reckon I did a middling job. I should have thrown in a few regulations names that I knew (time was running out) and I forgot to date and sign the end as i dived for the finish line.

Problem is that you need 60% to pass. I reckon I got about 45-50%. It depends on the wafflier marks and how they like my report. I don't know how much weighting the practical gets so I am going to forget about it and move on.

I must use this as a kick up the bum on the real important part - the 2 exams on the 9th.

Phew!

Ive just had mackrel because I am feeding my brain.
Can't wait until this pressure is over. I don't like it.
MUST MUST make a big effort. This is passable if I can give it my all.

The ones I talked to have hardly revised yet! But there's no saying they are people that will pass the course. Some are only on it because they have been told to and it doesn't matter if they fail.

Sorry - waffling more than I did on my report.

Welcome the newbies xx
Hiya to LtD, Ethel, Tiff, Sazzy, GL, Carol, Beer, CC, stenny, elona, rose et al.

I think it was more a bit of panic, rather than a fit, ltd. Thats perectly normal, if this guy is as bad as you say he is and I don't doubt you, then he could cause trouble.
As long as you and her are a team, strong together, you will be alright.

He isnt bad per se, I just dont like the guy At all

Gilly, good luck,
