Bf doesnt want me to put bd on bc

I got pregnant with my second kid from a narcissist 2 months before i met my bf. Does my bf really have a say? My bd barely watches our 16 month old as is. We dont have a set schedule and whenever i ask his help he always has an excuse. Our first daughter has him on her birth certificate which i think would be unfair of my second born were to see it. I regretted putting him on the bc w our first born but he has changed a lot and somewhat stepped up since then.

I wouldn’t! You can always add him later but you can’t just remove him. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Also if you get married your husband can adopt if the ex isn’t being a father and that could be a reason to amend your first borns birth certificate? Also your boyfriend now unless it’s going to turn into marriage, I’d just do what seems right to you and go based off of your own judgement. I dated dudes after my daughters donor and they would have been worse options but my husband has an open spot for when he officially adopts my daughter! My ex pays child support though so we have to establish a marriage and life before it’s easy breezy to adopt and we are going for abandonment from my ex too so waiting on that time frame.

Yeah I’m confused by your post because in one sentence you say he barely helps and y’all don’t have a set schedule, then in another sentence you say he’s changed a lot.
If you regretted putting him on the bc with your first, chances are it’ll be the same with the second. Don’t make that same mistake twice when he’s already shown you his true colors.
Ultimately, the decision is yours.

I wouldn’t if he’s already not doing much for baby #1… idk if you’re thinking about child support but if you ever think about doing it, he doesn’t have to be in the birth certificate

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”
