dating with a child
| Tue, 10-17-2006 - 11:11am |
I've been dating a guy for 2 years and I want to know what I should expect from him when it comes to my child? We have been living together for about 9 months. Should he be like a step-father to my child? My child's bio-father is not in the picture. Should I expect him to help raise, discipline, watch my child when I need a babysitter? What is asking too much from a live-in boyfriend? I need help!!!!!!!!!!

To answer your questions, my daughter is 4yrs old. I told him he would never be financially responsible for her. My daughter and he get along good. We are not living 2gether right now but when we see each other, he treats her good. When we were living 2gether, we split the bills. The house I bought myself but we were dating at the time. As for making him my free bbsttr, I'm a home body and hardly go anywhere. I'm just asking him to get a little more involved and sit with her if I need to run to the store or want to meet a girlfriend for dinner. He is a workaholic and self involved so the more I think about it and read the responses I'm getting, I think he is not for me. It's hard to admit and follow thru with but I don't think it's going to work. I feel that he doesn't give enough of himself for me. I need to face the fact that we are looking for different things out of life.
