Ex's family... should they be allowed to visit?
I hate asking questions like this but I really need some help... My baby's father left me two weeks after we found out I was pregnant. He never comes around, refuses to pay child support, and rarely texts me to ask how my son is doing. The only thing he's done as a father was sign the birth certificate. When he left he told his family that I kicked him out and was cheating on him, both of which are flat out lies. So his family thinks I'm this horrible person and he's the good guy. I've been more than generous and have let his family come to visit my son a few times, but frankly I'm sick of them. Every time they come around they say something rude, or point out how much my son's father cares, or say something like maybe I should just get over things. My response is, he left me so I have every right to be angry for as long as I want. I can't stand his family, they're constantly pushing their religion on me and telling me how a child should be raised. So here's the question... if you were in this situation would you let the child's father's family visit? Or tell them to go screw themselves?
Every time I've asked the father to come around he moves farther away. He now lives in TN and I am in KS... he says he can't come visit because it's too far.
I would also like to add that I have many many times asked the father to come visit. He always gives excuses and has done so since he lived only an hour away, now he is several states away and has even more excuses. I've begged him to come around and he just won't. I have never, and would never, deny him a chance to see his son. His family is another story...

QUOTE "or point out how much my son's father cares"
How an they say he care if he doesn't come around, or pay child support or even check up on him.
it sounds like your son's father does not want to step up take responsibility and be a dad, that's why he's telling lies to his family.
QUOTE "Every time they come around they say something rude"
Tell them that they should shut their gob, they don't offer any support to the kid and they don't even care that the father doesn't wanna visit his own child... why can't he come along and visit when his family comes.
QUOTE "pushing their religion on me and telling me how a child should be raised"
HOW DARE THEY!!!!!.....they have the nerve to tell you how your child should be raised when their son doesn't even want to raise the kid. a child should be raised with two parents, not one.if their son don't want to raise his son then what does that say about your sons father's upbringing?
as for your question, don't stop the dad from seeing his son when he decides that he wants to be a prop per father. a child has EVERY right to know their father, regardless of your relationship with the father. tell the family that they can't see him unless they stop insulting you. because it its disrespect to you and all the effort u put into raising your child. i presume they come over to visit, they see the child is well dressed, well feed well nurtured ALL DONE BY YOU, NOT THE FATHER!!!.....if it was down to the father your son would starve.... tell them if they want to see their nephew/ grandchild their gonna have to talk to the father about his behaviour... if they don't do anything tell them TO KEEP THEIR MOUTH SHUT!!!.

Invite them all round including the father. If the father doesn't come your point is proven and you tell them all of this. If the father does come make him tell the truth or ask him in open (BY ACCIDENT LOL) Why he won't pay for child support?
OR
Next time they call to ask if they can come say this exactly. "Look, I can't let your bad attitude towards me affect (Insert baby name here) I have done nothing wrong and am fed up of being treated so badly by you. I did not kick out (insert fathers name here.) Neither did I cheat on him. If he is such a good father how come he never comes to see our baby or gives him/her money." Do not let them talk and then put the phone straight down. If they ring back answer the phone if they give you mouth put the phone down. If not talk to them and if they apologise let them come and see the baby.

Hell no, my friend. You really have endured his crap for too long. Just try to get custody of the kid because I am afraid that his family will fight you for it. They believe him because they are related to the guy you were involved with and far too stupid. When someone insults you they insult your son too. They have reached the point where they can't redeem themselves. This hostility is not good for you and your son. It is such a common thing that that a damn coward like him walks out on you, when he found out that you were pregnant. Use contraceptives in the future and choose a better guy that that poor excuse for a man. Also, his family is a poor excuse for a family. Good luck because I believe in you.

They don't seem supportive of you, your son or in your little family at all ....
My simple rule of life .... if it gives me stress, grief, or pain .. avoid it !
This would be a "Avoid It" time for me ..... if they are good and stay away you'll send them baby pictures at Christmas...... bug me and I'll move and not leave a forwarding address.
Life is far to short to suffer ..... Good luck & hope you and your son do well.

I agree with John. Also why is he getting away
without paying child support? Its the Law. He has to
or go to jail. I would not let him get away with it.
Make him pay.
I would tell his family to go screw themselves.
No visits for them.
