hello...seen your post..this may indicate somthing else...he will be protective of his child but basic rules are needed and he is throwing the rules out of the window due to his protectivnes of his child and this may lead to other problems in the future as this behaviour will widen to other things and will cause your child deep hurt in the long term and even depression in some cases..but to have this from a man at this early stage in a relationship indicates he has set rules for him and his kids....so the question you may want to ask is"will he alter his own rules to accomadate you? and your kids?
