I remember everything. She was an ex girlfriend of mine who was legally separated from her husband for 4 months when we started seeing each other again. She broke it off with me after she found out she was pregnant and reconciled with her husband. She didn't tell anyone, so I went about my way not knowing. Now, they are divorced, and she calls me out of nowhere to let me know about him. Anyways, paternity test done, court system taken care of, just looking for a little parenting advice for someone who has never parented a child of any age.

His mother sounds like a horrible woman. So I would advise you to limit her influence as much as possible.

Geez she handled that terribly, I give you a lot of credit for not being resentful as hell or questioning her sanity.

Well damn. Now I feel bad for her ex, if he thought it was his kid for 3 years.

Well, I would suggest taking it easy and try to establish a working relationship with his Mother. If you two are not going to get along or be in concert, it is only going to confuse you poor lad.

Congrats and take things slowly at first.

If you're a good person, just continue to be a good person. Kids learn by watching.

Your instincts will take over. Love him like he has your heart, because he will.

Congrats to you.

Just love him and spend as much time as you can with him. Tell him every chance you get that you love him. I can't help with the getting to know him part. But I have 3 boys 5/4/1 and the main thing they need is love and support and discipline but ease into that, has to be hard on the kid finding out who he thought was his dad isn't.

If you do it right your relationship will have no lasting consequences and he prolly won't even remember he thought somebody else was his dad.

Like I said love him and let him know that verbally and through your actions. Show him attention but don't let him be a brat. You can explain things when he is older, just be there for him.

And congrats and dude thanks for stepping up and doing the right thing. You are in for a bumpy but very rewarding ride.

That ex husband is such a dumbass he's prolly all over the poli board.

You know it's a trashy situation when the guy who ends up being te baby daddy isn't the biggest sucker.

It's actually pretty easy at this initial stage and at that age: time. Be there as much as possible, interact, build up a relationship.
