POV: you're the guy who had a kid with a crazy chick.

Sorry, dude. Your baby mama is a few fries short of a Happy Meal, and now you're stuck dealing with her bull$#it 'til Junior's 18th birthday.

It doesn't matter if the happily-ever-after fizzled out after 10 years or you had a one-nighter or a low-rent affair with the MOAB of Single White Females; if you want an active role in your kid's life, you need to fight for your rights in the Idaho court system.

Fathers are fathers, not babysitters.

Listen up, Daddy: you're not just a backup parent or a pinch-hit babysitter, nor do you deserve to be treated as such.

You're an irreplaceable part of your child's life. Your presence and influence are crucial to their development whether your child's unhinged bio-mom wants to accept it or not.

Put it on paper, Pops.

Verbal co-parenting agreements are only as good as the paper they're written on. Striking a balanced and legally regulated co-parenting agreement not only protects your child, but it also protects your assets and your sanity.

Ask any dad who out-sprinted a crazy ex. Put it on paper unless you want to live at the mercy of a person whose mood swings are as unpredictable as Idaho weather.  

Trust us. You don't want to miss out on teaching your kid to ride a bike, heart-to-hearts about the mysteries of the universe, or the never-ending bedtime battles and silly moments only a dad and his kid can have.
