Serious question.

My dad was in prison when I met him after 15+ years of not knowing he was alive. This is me at 18 visiting. Well, he got out last summer and has really been trying to have a relationship with me and my growing family. He is doing all the things he should be to stay out of trouble that I know of but of course I'm scared...

I have two kids to think about and most of all, I don't want them to not know their grandpa if I have nothing to worry about.. What would you do?

He's even asked to babysit my oldest son but I've said I wasn't ready for that. I seriously don't know if I'll ever be.

Making bad decisions that cost your family once, you'd think he would have learned his lesson serving so much time behind bars? He claims that he lives his life for us now. And I just want everything to work out so badly!

Take baby steps! Don't rush into the babysitting. But you can introduce your children to him and see how they take to each other. Invite him over to different things. You still have to get to know him also. It will take some time.

@mazeyy09, thanks mama! This is great advice. I am still getting to know him and it's just built in me to love and trust him though. I feel like I might be like getting my hopes up? He does really well with my kiddos and my boyfriend spends time with him alone even!

Just start with letting him come around in an environment that feels safe for you and your kids and just tell him one mistake and you can't do it you have your kids to think about first and foremost

@mommysbabies, That's a good idea. If I'm ever feeling like he may be back pedaling, I will remind him that my kids come first. I just know my mom told him that he'd never see me again when they split up when I was 3. So I can imagine he doesn't want to go through something like that again

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

so idk what to do im supposed to be moving out with my bf, baby daddy he is 14 yrs older then me and he has his niece…

@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer. My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk outside without this information. Children of color are being targeted and killed too. It’s not just adults. I let my son know we treat everyone equally and with respect. I let him know that we love everyone for their differences. In every aspect. Color, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference we love everyone.
