If the girl you are with has kids and it gets serious its up to the man to take the role as head of the house as if the kids were his own, discipline included, any daddy's trying to stick their nose in should be told where to go and the woman should support their man in this by banning the ex from the home. Coming from a rural background I know that two stallions in a field with a mare always ends in trouble same with two men and one woman.

Whats this head of the house lark?????????laugh laugh

Personally speaking in my seperation agreement we put down that we allow partners into our lives but they dont have a say in how we bring up our son ..yeah fair enough discipline to a certain degree....actually I dont know how I would react if I saw another man giving out to my child.

If you get to the stage where you're married or living together etc, then yeah, you should have SOME say on the house but you will never be the kids real parents and so are you saying that taking on the role as the "head of the house" would mean you have more say than their biological Dad AND mum????????

I totally disagree. I mean i think the boyfriend/partner should give advice or help if asked but ultimately, i think its up to the woman to discipline her own child or even their natural father (the ex). I think to ban the ex from the home unless he is abusive, violent and its not interests in the children to have him around is wrong. Ideally i think it would be up to both parents to be mature enough to be able to talk things over and decide what the right thing to do by the children including discipline. If the ex i any of the things i mentioned or not around anymore then yeah the new partner should dicipline the child but only if its okay with the child's mother.

I can see your analogy but in a lot of cases, the ex and the new partner can get along.

So if you meet a bloke and get married he doesnt have a say in how the child is brought up, if your ex was into soccer and your husband into GAA he couldnt bring you and the lad to croke park cos your ex didnt like the game for example and you wouldn't like it if your husband told your son off and sent him to his room for giving him cheek, shure that would never work.

Galwaygirl1970: Are a lot of men put off by women having kids? I have one son aged 7 who goes to his dad every wednesday and every 2nd weekend so I do have some sort of 'life'....but have been chatting to a couple of blokes on here since I joined up last week and as soon as I mention that I have my son most nights, they seem to disappear.

Opinions please.

GG


i think single parents are more attracted to each other, we seem to have more of an understanding of what sacrifices are to be made when kids are involved. therefore single parents have a better understanding of each other and can get over any hurdles if any

Wouldnt it be up to the child to decide what game he wanted to watch or take part in? confused

if my ex's new fella wanted her to ban me from the house then we would have a serious problem. 1 of us would be doing time and the other in intensive care
