i have a 11 month old daughter, after a relationship which ended. I visit once a week, because of work. my family has of yet has not seen my daughter. I have asked to take my daughter home to visit, but the mum is insisting that she be there incase of any problems. i don't want her there, i am more than capable of looking after my daugther. she has taken my daugter anywhere and everywhere, even abroad, yet i still cannot take her home.
Can anyone advise? ,my rights?
Hi,
Is there any reason why she is saying you can't see her on your own at your home? Has there been any problems in your relationship in the past that would mean she might be saying this?
hi, thanks for your reply. the only thing i can think off is she has never met my parents in the 8/9 months we were together. The other thing she says is that she(daugther) will be in a different house, so may start crying and not be happy. Thats just rubbish, she is 11 months, aware of her surroundings, fits in anywhere, form what i have seen. i could't even have her over today for a couple of hours, my very first fathers day.
Hi
At this stage, the first thing you need to do is try mediation to see if there's any compromise to be made. I know that you are against the idea of your ex being there - how about something like a meeting out of the house with your ex there, perhaps a baby friendly environment, or swimming etc - that way your daughter is also going to associate seeing your parents as a lot of fun.
