How do you see these threads though ???? whenever I look for even a slightly titchy, witchy older thread it’s says it’s Mooved and I can’t see it
So it can’t be seen accidentally ???

Hi BB I can’t say that I understand it either.
Someone posted on it before Hithere; they sounded a bit overwrought.
Does your search facility work by the way?
Mine doesn’t.

Is it possible you are self protecting because you are afraid you won't be part of the baby's life since the mom is challenging and your son didn't know her long before she was pregnant?

GranKerbs please read the answers the child is 4/5 years old now it’s a very old thread been resurrected

I wonder if affection for others' babies depends upon whether or not the babies need you. My grandbabies always had perfectly able parents without any help from me.
