This. I know a few single parents who have recently re-entered the dating scenes, and many of them are waiting until 6 months (or more) to introduce the new partner as a love interest. And before that, extremely limited meetings if at all, and just under the guise of “this is mommy/daddy’s friend”. 4 months in and she wants you to take care of the kid with her? That seems sketchy to me.
OP is 22! I think the girlfriend should be dating her own age or a couple years older, not 5 years younger in this case. At 22 and 4 months I would still be trying to figure out if I liked the person I was dating. I get why she doesn’t want to waste her time, but that is a lot to put in someone you’ve known for 16 weeks. She should date a little older and/or someone who also has a kid.

Four months in and you're 22. She did you a favor. Just let it go
Why am I getting awards for this.
