I have a friend who gets a long with her childs father.They have great communication..?
together and both are there for their child. They have a friendly relationship and they respect one another. Her sons father has a girlfriend and for the first time asked my friend would it be okay if he brought along his girlfriend to their childs after school program..my friend became upset and said no b/c the girl doesn't need to be there and their child's functions should only be the two of them and family and not their partners..he ended up coming alone and my friend thanked him for respecting her. He told her he understood and he's cool about the situation..but now my friend is thinking should she have let the girl come? so my question is should she have let her sons father bring his girlfriend along w/ him?

It depends what is comfortable for her, him and the child. You don't want to make a situation uncomfortable especially when a child is involved. It is nothing wrong with drawing lines and boundaries if the parents both agree and follow them.
They have to rise this child together despite who they are with so it is important for them to keep a healthy relationship. Somethings that work for others don't always work for everyone.
I praise your friend for saying something and saying she was uncomfortable because it could have turned ugly or change the atmosphere for the child involved to an made it an uncomfortable one.

I think...yes. If you are going to be in a relationship like that, you have to know that your ex is going to move on, and that another woman may end up being part of your child's life. Why would she care if she doesn't have feelings for him???

yes, she should. Wouldn't you want to meet this other woman who may be involved with your child's life. By saying she didn't want her there makes it look like she is just trying to control her ex's life. If I was his new girlfriend, I would kinda wonder if he is really over his ex. And probly wouldn't want any part of that kind of drama, especially if there is an innocent child involved.
