So an old coworker of mine has been sleeping on my couch for about a month now, while his kid was, first, at his girlfriends & her parents, & now, they're broke up, is at his parents house, & I don't want a toddler living in my house that isn't mine or family. His ex was being called "mommy" by his 3 year old & now that they have split, he has only seen his kid once.
He lost a very good job because he has been so hung over he hasn't been able to go to work for a week straight, is complaining he doesn't have any money, but is at the bar every night getting drunk, but has had no real interaction with his kid.
I told him he was going to be out of my house on the second if he doesn't have rent to me on the first, I'm a renter, my rent is expensive and doesn't include the bills or expenses it takes to live here and I need the help, but he doesn't seem to care about anything except "getting his dick wet" (his words not mine).
He and his child basically just buried "mommy" & the kid doesn't know what's going on, but he isn't trying to make it easier on her by spending time with her.
While I know it isn't my place to tell someone how to raise their kid, it's making me mad because that kid used to be over my house 3-5 times a week when he was with "mommy", but I have only seen her once since this all went down, & his parents shouldn't be responsible for raising or explaining things to his child.
While I know everyone grieves the loss of a relationship differently, there is a child involved & that child should be the only priority since the woman she has called "mommy" is now out of the picture.
According to him, he hasn't gotten laid in a minute &, believe me, I understand the need to get laid (hey tinder & I have no kids myself), but I think his kid deserves his full attention right now. He's a single dad with a toddler, not just a single dude.
Is this normal behavior for a newly single parent?
I get I'm being judgmental, but he isn't bringing anything to the table.
