Friend's daughter
I have a friend (we actually went on a few dates but nothing more) that has a little girl (he's 18 and she's 3). He takes no responsibility for her and doesn't live with her. She lives with his mom. Our families actually know each other as well.
Today I had a dentist appt. and I saw his mom there. She was with her other son and this little girl that I never met. I figured she just had another kid since I didn't see her for so long.
So later on when I was home, I told my mom that I ran into her and asked when she had the little girl. My mom told me that it wasn't hers; it was my friend's daughter. I was so incredibly surprised because that thought never entered my mind. And the little girl is so unbelievably adorable. She was even sitting in my lap the whole time I was talking to her mom.
Well I'm gonna see my friend next weekend (I haven't seen him in a month) and I was wondering if I should mention his daughter and tell him that I met her or not considering he never even sees her. What do you guys think? I mean I don't want to make him feel bad or anything.

Hey, I've had friends who had kids at a really young age and they down-play being a parent so that they can still act like a normal teen. Maybe he's not telling people because he doesn't want to be judged, and he doesn't hang out with his daughter because then people will know about her. Sad, yeah, but it happens. If it were me, I would definitely tell him, in a non-chalant way, that you met his daughter and that she was sweet and adorable. Then leave it at that. Don't ask him why he never brought her up and don't make it seem like you're judging him because then he'll shut down. Later, you could say "Maybe we could take your little girl to the park on Saturday." Bottom line- if you act cool about it, maybe he'll be cool about it, too.

why should you stop yuorself from telling him you saw his daughter just because he has nothing to do with her? last time i checked that would mean that HES the one with the problem- right?

thats horable that creep sorry i would tell how much of a loser he is for leaving his daughter w/ his mother he is responsible dont have sex with out a condom unless you want a kid lol.

I'd tell him. Good way to see just what kind of guy he is. I wouldn't think to kindly of a guy who totally has nothing to do with his child. There may be more to it than you know though. So
say something and see how he reacts. :)
