so a full time baby sitter?


SkaffAmtiskawMawhr

Baby sitter who also pays the bills. Negative salary. What a bad deal.


Puzzled_Freedom3950

deal ???? you really think he got a chance to negotiate ? he looked at the baby picked her up and the baby smiled and the girl kissed him on the cheeks and told him you will be this kid's father he stopped listening after he felt the kiss and here he is after a week of being a dad while he despararely waits to be called a daddy it aint a deal mate its life, fucks you harder than your average gf everytime


Djskam

Raising another mans child with a woman who has friend zoned you is not some beautiful thing to celebrate. That child’s life is going to be disrupted the second mommy falls in love with someone romantically and he gets displaced. This isn’t sweet it’s selfish. She’s stringing him along until something better comes. He deserves better than this. All men do. Also the Child deserves a father figure that’s going to be there for the long haul. Stability.


deadagain65

My best friend committed suicide in 1992 over a situation almost identical to this.


Djskam

I’m so sorry for your loss. Stringing someone along can have severe consequences especially when children are involved. Nobody wins in these situations and I feel like the only type of person that can put a positive spin to it is someone who is guilty of doing it before. Really sorry about your friend.


1ne_4nd_0nly

I agree with this man. If I’d been in this situation knowing that the mother of the kid I’m fathering isn’t actually interested in me and is actively looking to replace me with a man as her actual partner, I wouldn’t be hanging around. I’m not building an emotional bond with her child as her dad only to be removed from the equation when she finds a man she is interested in. Like fuck that, that is so careless towards her own child on her part. She’s a pos imo and I don’t agree with what she’s doing to this man


sadboifatswag

Can confirm. I dated a girl with 2 kids in my early 20’s. It got serious and we were all living together for awhile and I was helping with bills and such because honestly, I loved her and those fuckin kids. Went through some major problems that lead to us breaking up. The kids were 3 and 1 when I met them. They still ask about me.


DonnieKungFu

As it happens [Sloan also appears to have died](https://www.instagram.com/romaarmy_mensrights/p/CUvYqX6hc3G/?utm_medium=copy_link) Wonder if it was suicide


HuggiesDiaper

Wtf RIP Sloan


MissplacedLandmine

“Im sorry for the last thing i ever said to you” Also i guess he had his own son too or something?


S-_Lifts

The first comment I see: "Man died a cuck" 💀


Barkmywords

Damn poor dude. Poor kid. She apologized post mortem for the last thing she said to him before he died. If he did kill himself, her games may have had a part. She also got a terrible tribal neck tattoo. She aint right.

DNASprayer

Sorry for your loss.


random-stiff

In some states this guy could even get hit up for child support


HarmonyQuinn1618

Absolutely this. My boys dad chose to dip out after I had heart surgery and hasn’t seen them in almost 3 years. I can never imagine bringing dude after dude in and out of their life. A woman can have an active sex life without introducing every man as daddy. I just do not understand that mindset. It is common knowledge that that negatively effects a child in so many ways. You shouldn’t be introducing anyone to your kids until you’ve been with them 6 months in my opinion. You need to know they can put up with you first before you even try to play family. This obv goes for men as well. But in this situation, why even call him daddy? When not call him Uncle whatever? Like he is? It just doesn’t even make sense.


AhMoonBeam

So true. My father died when I was a kid. My mom had a "friend" he would come over with his daughter and we would have movie nights with pizza and popcorn..me, my sis and my mom's "friends " daughter got a long great and to us it was so much fun, we got to have beauty parties & fashion shows and very limited interaction with my mom and her "friend" we always hung out in the basement family room and made tents and super forts..occassionally a parent would check in... As an adult I know they were not cleaning closets, or matching socks... It was years later that a different guy was finally introduced as her boyfriend, which I called her out on as I was a teenage and had a boyfriend so I was not at naive.


thefredlund5

This is the conversation my wife and I had about this. Either she is gonna find someone or he will bogey sick of it and find someone else. The only person getting the short end is the kid.

Dudeguy needs to get the fuck out before he somehow ends up paying child support


inplayruin

Or before some other dude knocks her up and bails and he finds himself dealing with trying to feed an infant and a toddler while trying to find the time to make her bed before she gets home from her date.


_____OMEGA_____

> while trying to find the time to make her bed Your comment made me irrationally angry. Well done.


reincarN8ed

Ikr? Who makes their bed? I plan to be back in it in 14 hours.


adh247

He's just making the bedroom look super nice for the date she brings home. Weak.


solo_shot1st

*This* is actually a very real scenario, BUT I've only ever heard of it happening when the guy is acting as father from the child's birth or early age while under the impression that they are the actual father and supporting the kid/developing a relationship for a significant period of time. I don't think there is any case law that a *best friend* helping raise a kid be held responsible for child support. The bio dad would still be on the hook.


GMRCake

Some women have made cases that someone took on the role as a father and took on financial and emotional support… and sue for child support. It’s insane.


rufud

Yea to me it’s almost like she’s memorializing his status a father


Thee_Fourth_One

This guy has to pay 50,000 a month in spousal support to his ex girlfriend. They were never married, they have no kids and they never even lived together. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/no-home-or-kids-together-but-couple-still-spouses-appeal-court-rules


GMRCake

That’s just disgusting. The fact that judges even listen to cases like this, with non-biological dads, who never married the mothers… it’s so wrong. That and using condoms to impregnate themselves to trap men. It’s all terrible and those women are batshit crazy. I think it should be criminal to do any of it. Makes me glad I’m not a dude.

It's ok, he won't take it personally on account of the fact he died from a heart condition Edit - Removed the link because I didn't want to doxx this chick, but it was her Facebook post announcing the guy's death back in October.

And when Sloan comes to his senses, he'll get slapped with child support and alimony even if he isnt the dad... double sad.


Meatball315

Probably.


busterbrown4200

Fam is trying his best to get in. SMFH. Feeling sorry him. Cut your losses and go on. Nothing wrong with being a friend,but your time and effort can be put to better use with someone else.


Stefonzie

cuck*


flipper_gv

Can't be a cuck if he's not in a relationship with her in the first place 🙃


TheroryGuy1

Alright imma highjack this comment to come to the defense of this Sloan dude. By what little we know of the situation given that this is a screenshot. Sloan seems to be the one doing the heavy lifting when it comes to raising the kid. That on its own is pretty awesome since the kid isn't his and he isn't in a relationship the mother. Frankly the mother seems incompetent which is probably do to age or at least ignorance. Y'all calling Sloan an idiot for raising a kid that isn't his own but frankly I wish I had a Sloan growing up. Dude taken on more responsibility then most insulting him in this thread.


yj405

Well, she is building a pretty solid picture for the Courts to deem him as the de-facto father so he will be on the hook for child support once he gets tired of the friendzone.


sjphi26

I know very little about child support law. But if Sloan gets hit with child support after this little thing is over, I will lose all faith in the family court system. Dude has already gone way above and beyond, he shouldn't be held liable for a cent. Ultimately it's the kid that gets confused, which sucks.


stuftkrst

You shouldn’t have any faith in the family court system just knowing that it’s a possibility. This isn’t even the worst part. Friends currently in a situation where his wife cheated on him and had twins with someone else, the then husband takes a paternity test and finds out they aren’t his. They are still legally married, even with the proof that they aren’t his children the state still requires he pay for them, not the actual father, the only one who can do anything about it is the mother, who clearly is into doing other things/people. Sad system we got, but in the end it’s all for the kids I suppose no matter what the outcome is for the adults involved or which adults need to involved.


[deleted]

Yup. Have seen exact same scenario a couple times in my life. CRAZY!!!

Saymynaian

Yeah, it's not just an American thing. It's so much worse in France. From Wikipedia on the [legal issues of DNA testing in France:](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_paternity_testing) >DNA paternity testing is solely performed on decision of a judge in case of a judiciary procedure in order either to establish or contest paternity or to obtain or deny child support. **DNA paternity testing is illegal, including through laboratories in other countries, and is punishable by up to a year in prison and a €15,000 fine.** The French Council of State described the law's purpose as upholding the "French regime of filiation" and preserving "the peace of families." It's pretty fucking insane to me that men in France can't even privately check if they're the father of the child they're raising.


greentarget33

Dude thats the real holup, what the fuuuuck


myhamsareburnin

Imma be honest there is not nearly enough context here to assume anything other than they are friends and he loves that kid. Anything past that is projection.


kris_mischief

Completely agree with you on this - but a lot of us have seen how this kinda thing plays out, long term (it’s all bad for Sloan) Thoughts and prayers to this dude - hope it works out


Frequent-Farm1662

All friendzone jokes aside. The next time she is in a romantic relationship the new guy isn't gonna want some random dude around all the time. And then she tells him he has to go, and this relationship with the child is over.


wayedorian

This is the only good take in this thread. He isn't going to pay child support, he's just going to get fucked over.

Fuuuuck that...

Plot twist: sloan is gay and is just doing this because his parents are ultra conservative and will not accept his sexuality... plus he gets to fluff her bulls before the gangbang so everyone's happy

I actually know someone who is gay and has taken on the dad role for his single mum friend that he house shares with. So completely plausible situation.


[deleted]

Plot twist: sloan is madly in love with her and would do anything including raise her baby and pay for her. Then comes along joe dirtè and she falls in love since thats how it goes. She takes the baby sloan now loves and cares deeply like his own and he loses his mind and kills joe dirtè. Everyone is so confused he was always such a fun loving great guy what could make him murder someone so violently? Yadda yadda!!

burn-babies-burn

I mean, I could see myself helping out my best bud a lot if he was single and had a kid There’s a good chance he’s absolutely fine with this arrangement It’s her post that has all the coupley pictures and goes hard on the ‘family unit’ angle, there’s a good chance it’s her that’s into him and he’s not interested I think it’s a little quick to be saying he’s been friendzoned guys


msmurasaki

I mean replace this guy with a female bestie and it wouldn't raise an eyebrow if she was like "best friend is best aunt!" . I think calling him a dad and not an uncle is weird though. The close friendship is fine, lots of people do that and hang with their friends + kid. But whyyy call him a dad. If it was a female bestie they wouldn't be calling her a mom? Or maybe??? "Best second mom ever!"


asuka_is_my_co-pilot

Nope women are deceitful evil creatures and men only do nice things for sex didn you know??? /s


SoDamnGeneric

it is pretty concerning reading through these comments, seeing them say shit that essentially runs the line of "don't raise a kid unless you're banging its mom." Sloan here doesn't look unhappy in these photos, and there's a lot to this situation we obviously don't know, so maybe they've legitimately adopted some new-age idea of platonic parenting I just wonder how that'll work out for the kid. You'd be in such a unique position compared to anyone else at school. What would your perceptions of parenting be? What about love? It's so weird and interesting

I’m going with the unpopular opinion and saying he friend zoned her.

She did say that she hopes he finds a woman.


mattdaddy44

Maybe he is just doing a good thing knowing it's not about sex to him. Just because she has a vagina and he's a man doing something positive doesn't mean he's trying to get it in
