How is he a dead beat if he is staying home taking care of the child? We don't fault woman for staying home with the kids, why should it be any different for a man?
Your ex isn't a dead beat. You need to be the adult and realize your kid is saying these things just because he is having a good time at dads. You should be happy his dad is taking an interest. You might swallow your pride and see if dad can save you day care cost since he's not working. If you can get along and support each other, even though you are no longer together, your child will benefit far more and be happier.
Trust me as your child get's older he's gonna say way worse to you than that. I have teens and I've heard it all.

On your weekends, carve out some time and budget for qt with your kid. And try not to worry. He probably wants his dad cuz he sees him less.



I'm so sorry you are going through this. :( He DOES sound like a bum, like my ex. My ex lives off his father's money.
It is easy to have all that fun when he has no responsibilities.
Try to carve out time in the evenings to do fun things with your son, as well as on the weekends you are with him. Make your own memories and try to be fun in your own way.
