I am a father. I have a bad relationship with my ex, who is now with another man and has a second kid with him. For the past year and a half I have only had my kid on the weekends. I'm feeling a little confused now though because all of a sudden I have been encouraged to bring over my ex's other child for the weekend along with my own kid. This included Father's Day this past weekend. Her other kid is a very cute and sweet kid, but I sadly do not trust my ex and worry she might be trying to start friction between myself and the guy she is with. I was wondering if it is normal for a father to also take care of a kid for the weekend when they aren't his.

Wew lad.

Thats not normal. They could be using you as a babysitter

I was thinking that too.

No dude. Take care of your own offspring. Tell that bitch straight up that you know her game is she keeps begging you to take the other kid. PLUS it could be kidnapping, sounds like she's trying to set you up for some shit even though it's not really kidnapping if she voluntarily gave him to you. But again fts, you are there to spend time with your own kid not someone else's.

Fortunately it wouldn't be kidnapping as I have it in text that she encouraged me taking her kid for the weekend. It's definitely something I'll keep in mind though.
I hear you though on all other points too.

Don't be a fag OP, take care of your own kid. screw the rest

No, it's a little fucked up
But the bottom line is would your kid be happy with it
I'm in a similar-ish situation
And all I can think of is "What's best for him?"
Kids should have friends their age.
Forget your pride. Would your kid benefit from hanging with that other kid?

OP, Have you had an official divorce from your ex? Did you get custody sorted out?

They do love each other. There is a 5 year difference between them.

>>18440077
Not officially.

>>18440084
5 years is pretty far
But if you think it's good, do it.
He's your boy. That's your life now, and that ain't bad. Not be a long shot.
Do what's right by him.

The other kid is your kid's brother/sister. They're going to lean on each other for the rest of their lives, even if their parents fuck other people or hate each other or reconcile or whatever. It's not really strange for you to have a relationship of some sort with the other kid. For your kid's sake, try to maintain some normalcy so his/her relationship with their brother/sister is one of the more normal things in their life. Their parents certainly aren't a normal factor.
