This is definitely a tough situation. Everyone has different parenting styles and no one way is right. Seeing as you are part of the picture and even though just boyfriend and girlfriend, you are still part of the parenting, you should have a input into how things work. If you haven't already, maybe discuss with your bf your feelings. Hopefully, some sort of compromise on parenting can be found. My thoughts are the child does seem a little needy, but my son is a very independent child and pretty much has been all through his toddler stage. But every child is different and has different needs. | ||

You're not the mom. You're a girlfriend who could come or go at any time. His son is his forever. If you don't like the situation, find a new guy? There's 6 billion of them to choose from.
