His dad is not exactly reliable as i found out from the year 1/2 we lived together as a married couple.

You have to let him have time with his Father right now. Of course you are going to feel left out of the picture and you are going to be jealous to some extent. It's normal. Just remember that his Dad isn't doing this to be mean to you or to make you feel the way that you feel. I'm sure he feels horribly guilty for not being there and he's doing this so that he has some hope of repairing this relationship with his son. At least he's making an effort. Don't worry. You will always be his Mother!

If dad is not so reliable your son will learn this soon enough. Let him be excited about meeting dad, after all it is a big deal. Support him at this time, he will still love you and know that he can rely on you. I think the thrill will wear off soon, especially when dad starts not calling of showing up. You have to let him go and figure this one out for himself. If he gets dissapointed just be there to help him get through it. Maybe plan something extra fun or special to help him out of the funk.

it truly is so difficult, I pray on your difficulty. If I were you i might want to let him see his father, who's conventional with perchance by way of now his father has grown up and could pick to be a favorable portion of his life. also by way of letting him see him, he may come across that he hasnt missed out on some thing. seem at it this way, both way you go, your son is at a extreme chance of having damage. inspite of what you do, i might want to get him into remedy the position he can let loose his real emotions, and this would help him cope with the decision you're making. good success!!

You are his mom and you will always be that no matter what, even if dad comes back into his life you will still be number one. At first there might be some "Oh Wow!" dad, but once it becomes a normal thing it will have no different effect.

in the end, they always end up favoring the mother. of course at first hes gonna talk constantly about his father. but his father is new. itd be like a new friend. i wouldnt worry about it. becuase when your son gets older he will know that he met his dad when hes 6 so he'll know what happened and favor you.

HI, YOUR SON WILL ALWAYS NO THAT YOU HAVE BEEN THERE FROM THE BEING. MEETING HIS FATHER IS A BIG THING BUT JUST REMEMBER YOUR SON LOVE YOU THE MOST. HE WILL BE LOOKING FOR YOU TO GIVE HIM ANSWERS WHEN HIS FATHER LEAVER AGAIN. TELL HIM THE TRUTH THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GO.

You know your son Loves you, but he also wants to know who his father is, and that is good, let your son make his own decision about him. Just keep Loving your son and everything ill work out.

let him meet his dad & make his own opinion of him otherwise he will resent you for anything bad you say about his dad, weather your right or not.Maybe his dad as changed & realises he has missed a lot not knowing his son.It took a mom & a dad both to make him & it takes a mom & a dad to raise him if possible.
