The father hasn't seen baby yet (who is nearly 4 mos, domestic violence issue). The parenting papers haven't come in from the judge & dad wants to see baby. I really don't want to until the papers come back, should I let him? He's starting to bug me alot about it.

No one can answer that question for you. My only advice is to go with your gut. The only regrets I have in my life are the times I ignored that small voice inside - it is never wrong...


If you think you can, or you think you cant - you are right.

I agree, go with what your gut tells you. And if you have reason to fear for your baby's safety I would not allow him to see the baby alone.

I too say go with your gut instinct. It's there for a reason. If you have to let him see your little one then make it in a public place and have someone with you and the baby.

I don't know how everything is with your court system and whatnot, but if it gets out that you let him see the baby on your own terms, it might make you look bad to the judge. My ex violated his restraining order when I was 5 months pregnant. I didn't want him to go to jail, so we knocked it down to a domestic violence order in court. When he violated the domestic violence order, he was given probation instead of jail time simply because I showed up for the court date without being court-ordered to attend and they thought I was there to support him.
Check with your lawyer or victim's advocate and make sure it won't come back to bite you if his lawyer finds out.
