re: Family pic with BD's girl and my son

Quoting Rumpelstiltskin:" YEah, I'm typing slow today,.... I did read it after I posted my last post. Well, OP has to decide ... [snip!] ... a relationship with his kid, though, he needs to pay CS and have freedom to take pictures. If not, don't let the kid go..... "

Quoting BoogerBear's Momma:" There is a difference in respecting each other and just being controlling because you think their family ... [snip!] ... doesnt have one of those crazy BMs either that try to control your relationship. I don't understand the "real man" remark..."

Quoting Mommy2Kay:" Exactly what he does! I let him do that because I rather my son know his dad. I would never take a picture ... [snip!] ... never take a picture with a guy saying we're family unless we were taking family pics with our own child or we were married."

Quoting Mommy2Kay:" Exactly what he does! I let him do that because I rather my son know his dad. I would never take a picture ... [snip!] ... never take a picture with a guy saying we're family unless we were taking family pics with our own child or we were married."

Quoting Jas ♥:" Oh shut up, psycho."

Quoting BoogerBear's Momma:"   Is someone PMSing?"

Quoting Jas ♥:" I agree. I would never take family pictures with just a boyfriend. Especially one that I have only been ... [snip!] ... one that I have only been with for a year. And you say your BD cheats on her? Their relationship is a joke, they aren't family."

Quoting BoogerBear's Momma:" So you wouldnt consider your future step child family? "

Quoting BoogerBear's Momma:" ! This. I would also be happy that she loved my son enough to include him a family picture of them. ... [snip!] ... his life right now and she is obviously fond of him. Would you rather have that or a woman that wants nothing to do with him? "

Quoting Chelsea Dawns Mama:" Because he doesnt do smurf for HER son. He may have fathered him, but he ISNT a father figure unless its convenient for HIM."

Quoting FaithLovesBaby:" Couldn't have said it better. Some people don't seem to understand that just because you helped create the kid doesn't mean you're a real father/mother."

Quoting Chelsea Dawns Mama:" UNLESS THEY WERE MARRIED. If they are STEP CHILDREN, then they would be MARRIED, so they would be family  "

Quoting Mommy2Kay:" He doesn't pay child support. I took him off when he owed $20,000 because he promised to pay once he ... [snip!] ... pay once he had a job that was offered to him but that he need his license. it was good for a few weeks and it ended quickly."
