    I don't think it would be a bad thing because he'll be able to be with his child all the time. I think a family setting is great for a child if you're not consistently arguing with each other.

    Thanks that does help alot..
    thats what i thought but i needed other peoples advice just to make sure i wasnt making another mistake.

    i know its going to be different with him living with me and i know that theres going to be some problems with somethings and i have to get use to it but im just glad he decided to be apart of our lifes again and that he wants to be here for us.

    Okay so i have been thinking about some stuff about kris moving back in and i wanna know what you think about these things

    do u think its a bad idea to have him sleep in my room or should i but him in the babys room and but the baby and his things in my room?

    kris asked me the other day if i have some rules for him. i told him just help out around the house and to not bring people over to late so they dont wake the baby.. i cant come up with any other ones.. do u think there should be more rules for him
    i just need some advice about what others think i should do about this..

    I agree with Britt, so long as it is a happy, loving, nurturing and secure environment, as well as the two of you are on good terms, then having both his mother and father in his life would not be a mistake.

    I remember giving you advice before, but I can't remember what your situation was. He wasn't disrespectful of you, abusive or doing some kind of drugs was he? I don't mean to pry, it's none of my business and I understand if you choose not to answer my question, I just would be able to provide more advise. Because if he does do drugs or is abusive I would definitely say that taking him back would be a mistake because exposing a child to that kind of destructive and violent behavior is wrong and would be a horrible environment to raise him in, and he, as well as yourself, deserves better. And if he use to do drugs or use to be abusive but now has changed his ways that's great, but I would definitely take it slow. But enough of me rambling on, haha.

    The rules you have mentioned so far sound fair; taking responsibility for helping out around [your place of residence] and with the child, not bringing friends over late at night when the baby is sleeping and not arguing in front of the baby (I especially and definitely agree with that, my mom showed no restraint there, haha).

    Just because you have history or are back together now (not sure how long you've been back together) doesn't mean you have to share a room/bed with him right away, especially if you're worried about rushing it. Personally, I wouldn't, I don't like to rush into things either (depending on what it is I'm rushing into). My advise to you would be not to share a room/bed right away. But it's your choice to make and how just comfortable you are.

    Thanks for the advice i decided that he will be in my room but i told him if i think its going to fast ill put him in the baby room and put the baby in my room..

    you did give me advice before but he wasnt doing drug or abusive or anything like that but the reason why we split up is cuase he wasnt ready to take care of the baby and we use to fight about how i was taking care of him so i just kicked him out and told him to not to come back till he was ready to be a father..

    we been dating now for about 2 months and we decided that he was ready to come back and i told him he could but that i do have a roomate but he didnt care about that...

    im just so happy that he decided to come and take care of our baby..
    he will be moving in on april 1st

    but again thanks for the advice that people gave me already and i would take anymore advice you would give me

    Okay so I have some really exciting news.... last night me and Kris (my bf) went out on a date and he asked me to marry him!!! I was so happy and I said yes... but of course we wont be getting married anytime soon. maybe in 2 or 3 years but Im just glad he�s here to stay with me and the baby :)
    Im so happy Im going to be marrying the guy that I have known since I was 10 years old.
    but I just wanted to share that with you guys

    ^ Congrats... Don't read too much into my pause (...), I don't mean to offend you by that by any means. You were so worried about rushing into things with him by letting him move in with you and about sharing the same room as you, yet you don't think an engagement is rushing into things? I'm not trying to convince you in anyway about changing your mind or disapprove, I'm just confused is all.

    I don't think the most important thing is that the two of you plan to get married; the most important thing is that he's ready to take on his responsibilities as a father and to take on an active role in his son's life. I congratulate him for that and hope he keeps his word. :)

    I am still worried about rushing in to this but when i told him yes i said it will take at least 2 more years till im ready to get married and his okay with that.. this reason for that is i dont want to be married while im in college and dont want to rush things so he agreed to wait at least till im finish with college and thats 2 years from now..

    and another reason is that im a preachers daughter after all and i always wanted my dad to be the one to marry me and my fience but he wont till we go throw a one year marry class and i think i want to do that to.

    I really believe that he is ready to be the father he needs to be.. its been an year senice i kicked him out and hes changed alot senice then and i really believe his here to stay.
