So my ex and I have a 3 year old, his gf off a year has said she see our daughter enough. 3 hours in a weekend and she expects him to not increase this. But this was always our plan
How do I handle this? |

Run her over?   I joke! That's a really bad thing to do on her part though, you don't come between people an their kids it's out of order. |

Explain to her that the child isn't going to spend time with her, she's spending time with her father. If she doesn't want to be present, she can do something else while he enjoys his time with his child. |

"I hope your ex is strong enough and sensible enough to put the needs of his daughter and himself first, rather than his inconsiderate and selfish GF."
I hope so too, as I know parents who have put partners before seeing their children and seen the effects it has had. |

Difficult to comment without knowing the full background but I'd suggest 3 hours a weekend is nowhere near enough and your ex should be standing up to his girlfriend to be able to see your daughter more, not less!! |

I hope he's man enough to stand up to her and put your daughter first for a few extra hours a week. My ex has all but abandoned his children due to an extremely nasty selfish girlfriend. It's not nice and damages the relationship between them.
Talk to him away from her then let him deal with her. She should keep out of parenting decisions x |

As a man that's been separated from the mother of his children ...I think your ex needs to question where his love and loyalty lie ....the children always come first ,no matter what ...if she's making demands now about time what's she going to demand in say another 2 years? ...package deals are exactly that ..love me love my kids if that's not in your plans your not for me |

Tbh he had a head injury n subsequent depression, so while she was a little baby we agreed limited time a couple of hours on a Wednesday. But slowly increase it, as and when suits all parties. He ideally wants her sleeping over one night when she starts school |

Why? Why? Why? What is wrong with this woman? You take on a new partner with kids you take on the kids. Period. I have no understanding of why people have an issue with this? She doesn't deserve to be around your daughter with that attitude but that is a decision for your ex to make. She should be encouraging him to take her more not less! She needs a good whack to the head to knock sense into her. Just my opinion of course  xxx |

If your ex has any sense then he should bin his GF , his child comes first and if she thinks he is spending too much time with his kid then she is not worth it |

When I was in this situation as an estranged father of young children, i can assure you no girlfriend would dictate how often or for how long I should see my children.
With the greatest respect and sympathy for your situation I would have to ask whether this decision comes as much from your ex as it is from his girlfriend? Because I can't imagine being that spineless as to say to you, I'm sorry but my girlfriend says I can only see the kids for 3 hours a week.

He rung me and said him and his gf are having problems, I pressed the question why.
We've been friends since we were 8 so guess I always thought our history would be the problem |

She should be excepting him and your children if entering into a relationship. Warts and all. |

Then honestly he needs to pick his child over his gf otherwise she will never get to the point of staying over or him able to handle that long! |

Ah ok that clarifies it thanks. As everyone has said though, he really needs to stand up to his girlfriend and put his daughter first, if she doesn't like it that's her problem. |
