I have NO IDEA what "psychedelic insultment" is, but I'm clearly a victim of it!

And when it comes to my kids, I don't babysit. I parent. THANK YOU! I was going to complain about how people insist on calling it babysitting instead of parenting, like it's all the mother's responsibility. It's only babysitting if it's not your child/it's a short term, temporary thing.

If it's just a relationship do you try to win the child as dad and instantly be responsible or do you wait until marriage to try to play the dad role?

You play the dad role before marriage only when the mom says you can; otherwise, you're overstepping your bounds. If the relationship is to get more serious, you need to ensure that when it come to parenting, you two are on the same page BEFORE the wedding bells. If not, then you have a decision to make.

If it's just a relationship do you try to win the child as dad and instantly be responsible or do you wait until marriage to try to play the dad role? I think the answer varies from situation to situation. I'd you're just dating and don't think (or don't yet know) if she might be "the one" then I think actual parenting on her child is overstepping, especially if the father is in the picture. If, however, it gets serious, then how much of a parenting role you take on will be a discussion between the two of you. I say that as a step parent myself. My step kids were 10,12, and 14 when we met. I never told them what to do, but did drive them places or do other things for them. The middle one is closer to me than her own mother. She's 34 now.
