I am a mom-2-be & no longer with the father-2-be. I plan on moving back home which will be in a different state than where the father lives. I want to have complete custody of my baby but allow the father to have visiting rights. I strongly believe that if the mother is stable than the child should not be taken away from the mother for too long up until the child reaches a certain age. Am I wrong for feeling this way? Please no harsh comments. Please be mature with your answers. Thank you.

Completely agree. But not about it being with mothers: in some situations the father is the better parent. I believe a child should not be taken away from the sole custodial parent for long periods of time until they are older. When the child is older than the dad or mother should have an option to get her for summers. I have the same arrangement with my daughters father. I have sole custodial custody and we have joint custody. We mutually agreed that he will have every other weekend visits and once she turned 4 we added (2) two week vacations. Unfortuantly, our family caourts dont always make the right decision for the kids. I have a friend that has her son one week then the next he goes to the dads. How unstable can you get? Try to work it out with the babys dad instead of letting the courts decide. Keep in mind that your child deserves the right to have a relationship with her/his father so stay open minded. Good Luck and Take Care.

I think your child has a right to be with both parents. Your child has a right to see and be with his father as much as possible. Not a visit every few months, or a week or two a year. I hope your reason for moving is so compelling that it overcomes your child's rights to his father. This is all assuming that dad want's to be involved in the child's life.

Its all good but children need their father more than you think. It could mess up everything that the child is supposed to be. You can only half of what it takes to properly raise a child, and dont think a step father will solve ya problems cause he dont know the true instincts of the child and might be lost for the next 25 years.

Well I don't know what to say.. I am five weeks pregnant and my boyfriend and I broke up.... He still doesn't want to get back together but I think mom are more nurturing... also they carried the baby for nine months for crying out loud... but I really wish that you'll find a partner that can be supportive. I really don't want to go through this alone and I really want my ex-boyfriend to help me and be a family...

I strongly believe that fathers should have equal parenting rights. That would make women think more carefully about who they got pregnant by.

No, I feel the same way. I feel like Mothers are more nurturing and caring... Most at least. But some dads are too.
