I'm asking this after reading a similar Q. My husband and I married young & are now seperated - He has his son for weekends & when he has time off work, My problem is that he will think nothing of leaving him to walk to the local park on his own (through the woods), or when taking him out will give him little 'errands' to run, like "give that list to the shop keeper over there ect..." or wait outside the sports shop ect...
He seems oblivious to any danger as he grew up in a very wealthy enviroment. I ask him why he wants visits but I think he just sees taking him as his right, but then has no time for him (he is never nasty to him though). He lets him walk on his own for hours at a time, saying that he's ok in the park or wherever as the 'bigger' kids will look out for him & it gives him independence.
How can I make him stop his reckless ways without stopping him seeing his son?
Or am I being OTT?
Your views please.
Thank you for helping
