    Why not? Apart from the fact that it means he isn't seeing his dad as much as he could, what harm is being done? Do you have genuine concerns about his safety with his stepmum or do you just not like the idea?

    Do you have a new partner?

    No safety concerns...

    No, not your ex, your current partner.

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time

    She has spent a lot of time with him without his father present and I have raised this before. I have said I do not feel this is beneficial for our son.

    What exactly do you object to?

    I see that you do have a partner, does he never have your son without you being there then? While you work/shop/socialise/have a hobby/whatever?

    We have only lived together since may 30th and I work from home so no he doesn't spend alone time with my son, he has how own son who also lives with us 3 days a week...

    Do you spend time with your partner's son alone without your partner being there.

    Why should my ex be out working or doing other things and then his wife be with our son? How is it beneficial, he could be at home with me his real mum or he could be at nursery?

    I think the poster meant your current partner. Does your current partner ever have your son on his own? Seeing as you don't want the step mother to have any contact on her own with your child.

    And it looks like we made it once again
    Yes it looks like we made it to the end
  • Do you spend time with your partner's son alone without your partner being there.

    I have looked after his son once while he went to work because he asked me too. My ex has brought this up in the past and I have explained that if my current partner wants me to and is happy for me to then it bares no relevance on how I feel my sons contact with him should be spent

    Why wouldn't you agree to every other weekend in the first place? Why don't you think his stepmum should have contact with your son when his father's not there, whether he's in jail or not? She's a huge part of his life, and to take that away from him would be detrimental to your son, as would stopping contact again once his father's released. She's sounds like a great stepmum, why take her away from him?

    I don't mean to be awful, but you haven't really given a reason that you think this contact is wrong other than the lack of genetics, which is utterly ridiculous. She's been his stepmum for three years. Would you be happy if his dad said that your partner couldn't look after your son without you being there?
