Genetic ties do not make ANYONE an ideal person to be anything, but it gives that person the RIGHT to be part of the child they produced.  Were your parents ideal parents?  Probably not, but they were yours.  You don't get to decide who your family is.

Again, no situation is ideal but I honestly think you are letting your negative feelings toward the child's dad get in the way of sound judgement.  And it sounds like you are trying to rationalize it all by saying "but I'm doing the best for my child"

You are assuming it is less than ideal.  Two parents not together is less than ideal.  Why exacerbate it and completely shut out the other parent.  In my opinion, that makes it less ideal.

By "satisfactiry answers", do you mean you're not getting the answers you want?  Because that is what it sounds like. You are getting frustrated because people are telling you what you don't want to hear.  A majority of the people here are women...and a majority of the people are telling you something different than what it appears you are going to do.  Are they all wrong? we have all been through situations regarding our children. We are speaking from experience.  We all have the right to protect our children...but we also have the right to be a part of their lives.

I'm half way through this program and I am absolutely convinced the judge made the right call on this one.  Never have I seen such a narcissitic, self centered bitch!  Two quotes stood out in my mind that this woman said.."I can't live without you"...and..."Mommy will get you back"..Now they're calling the father an "evil man" in front of the children.  Exposing these children to this fiasco will cause irreperable damage.  Three cheers for the father for not agreeing to be interviewed or commenting on it.  He seems to be protecting the children, while Bridget Marks just doesn't get it.  She just doesn't get it.

If the house is in his name only....call the cops EVERYTIME it looks like there has been a break-in.  If her name is on the house, file a TRO as she is hapassing, etc.  Get it done NOW!

While I agree it is unemotional.......we are also seeing this well after the initial blow of mom leaving.  In my case, I was extremely emotional when my ex tried to take my son from me..but that got me nowhere.  When I held my emotions in check, and painstakingly went through the process..it was only then that I received results.  I don't know all the particulars of this guys story, just offering a possible explanation of a more "factual" presentation...

I watched these kids getting into the car: scared, confused.  There was no reason to put these kids on such a public display like that...it only seemed to exacerbate the problem...

Father's Issues / Baby Einstein Book
Jun 02, 2004, 05:20:49 PM
I was reading Baby Einstein Babies by Julie Aigner-Clark to my 10 month old.  Pictures of babies.."this is a baby"..."babies have happy smiles..."Daddies love their babies...."Mommies love their babies, too." Kudos to Ms. Aigner-Clark for putting the daddies first.  I know it was such a small step..but it certainly meant a lot to me...
