Not single anymore but need advice about my sons 'dad'

[Mummy2Asher]

I am so fuming!!!
I'm not single anymore, I'm settled and married with a new baby but felt posting here I would get more advice about my eldest sons dad.
He's has been in and out of ashers life sice he was born, never putting him first or his priority. And on top of that he's done the usual, cancelling last minute, not turning up, bringing him home wet and dirty etc
Anyway we moved to a new town about 1hr and 15mins away from him and he expects me to drive my son half way when I have a newborn baby! I don't think so!!! He is wanting to have him on e a month from fri to sun, that's fine but he is out of his mind of he thinks I can drive ash! I have a newborn who screams the 10mins I have to drive in the morning to take ash to nursery.
And why can't he put the effort in and do the drive, it's the only thing he has to do and not have all the other responsibilities of having a child!!!
I'm so angry.

if hes really interested in seeing his child then HE will make the effort, if he doesnt drive he should get public transport.

He does drive! He has no trouble in driving but just cant be bothered! And the last two holidays he has had he took this girl he met off the Internet on holiday! Yet he has no money to buy his son anything for his birthday, he just turned four, I wonder what age ash will be when he finally gets a birthday card or present from his dad!!!!!
Arghhh!!!

tbh it doesnt sound like hes interested, i wouldnt take you son to see him, tell him that now so hes got time to make other arrangements and if he doesnt then its his loss, just tell Asher when hes older you tried your very best x

If he wants to see his son so badly, then he should do the driving. If he had made an effort in the past and seen his son on a regular basis, then I do believe that you should meet him halfway. But because he's been a half-assed dad, then I say no.

Mine never did Hon Yet their Dad takes two or three foreign holidays a year and their Stepsister, who went to the same school as my 3, had ponies, the latest mobiles, IPods etc and a car as soon as she turned 17

He even has his stepdaughter listed as his child on Facebook and his own children blocked .... go figure

Sometimes we just have to face that FOBs aren't going to give our LOs what they deserve from a Dad
