A Moms point of view please, sort of OT male babysitter!

So I need a woman’s opinion on this. I have said in my previous blogs BM seems to ALWAYS have some kind of childcare issues. She used to have a sitter come after school to watch the kids but she quit. I can only assume by what she has told BF is that they didn’t listen to her and were not well behaved. Her parents never seem to help out with childcare either, for what I assume are the same reasons. Well for the last month or so we have been hearing a mans name mentioned a lot from the boys. SO doesn’t care who BM dates or even if he is around the kids. He prefers it be a serious relationship and as long as this man treats his boys with respect. Obviously we can’t control who she has around the kids no more then she can control who he has around the kids. I am the only woman he has had around the kids since they split other then my female friends.

Anyway the kids mentioned Joe (we will call him Joe) around BF one day when he was dropping them off at BM. BM rather quickly offered up that is the new sitter. A friend of her from HS that is out of work. Something doesn’t sit right with me. I have no problem with male educators or even male nanny’s, but who would let a man they just reconnected with on FB from high school watch you kids. I said to BF something doesn’t seem right, I could venture on a guess that this Joe person is BMs new BF, but why lie?

I wouldn’t leave my kids with some random guy I used to know in HS. My BF yes I would.

Some thoughts please!

She is most likely "seeing" this Joe and does not want to share the information. Maybe she thinks she will get 100 questions about him is she were to say it is someone she is dating?

That's what my thought process was too, which is funny because BF don't care we often joke with each other hoping she find a man and stop swinging from his d*(k and leave us the hell alone. SMH it's funny she seems to know all our business and goes out of her way to keep hers all hush hush, again not that we care just can't understand the lies.

It makes no sense really does it. Maybe she is just worried she will be judged? No idea what goes on in peoples heads sometimes?

Maybe she has this fantasy that your BF would be jealous and as long as she keeps it a secret, this fantasy can live on. Her bubble would burst if she let it be known she has a boyfriend and your BF does not give a rats ass.

You know you have a point, thinking back on her text about watching the kids, she always puts in things like busy weekend, or dinner plans at 8 or WE won't be back till 9 istead of 8 and BF ignores all that and just stays on topic of the kids. LOL god she is such a tool!

I am a little confused. If this were her new BF then it would be okay for him to be watching the boys? But because she claimed they weren't in a romantic relationship that means there is something wrong?

My response might be a jaded due to a story I read recently where a male that was traveling by plane was forced to switch seats because he was inadvertently seated next to an unaccompanied minor. The only difference between the two people they switched was the one who was allowed to sit next to this child was female. She didn't know the kid just as well as the male, but by him being male he was guilty of something and therefore couldn't be seated next to the minor. He wasn't thanked..the minor could have been moved. They made a big to do because he was male. it was insulting and degrading.
