I feel so bad

I am not putting my ex names on my LO BC, yesterday I told him firmly please stop asking me I won’t, today is the appointment I feel so bad I feel like I robbed him of something, he hasn’t been there really, never bought anything for her, hence my decision but I feel so bad how do I suppress this feeling?

That's your decision, just trust you are making the right decision for you and your child. Also you can change it in the future if you feel you want to

He’s never there for her he comes 10 mins to see her, has never even bought a nappy for her, just on Tuesday and yesterday he spent like 3 hours with because he knows the appointment is close. His friend is more important, never help during my pregnancy by the end he was there to stay with me, and yhen he went back to his normal self

true I told him it’s not like I’m saying I am never going to put you, I said I am giving you a year to prove to me you going to be there his answer if you don’t put me now don’t put me never and I don’t have to prove you anything

Don’t feel bad at all, if he’s not a present father he don’t have rights to be on it, don’t mean anything . My ex isn’t going on mine he don’t deserve to. I haven’t seen him since 6 weeks pregnant and now 36 nearly, I ain’t about to let him try play daddy, and I’ve know him playing the same game for years so I should of known better. Do what’s right for you

He then can’t deny he’s the father either if you go for child support as CSA will do a dna test if he tries to play that game and will make him pay for it when it’s proved it he is

I honestly don’t need his money, I got all her stuff by myself from crib to nappy by myself I never asked him anything, he always tells me I will give you £100 every week and I never seen It. I did ask him a few times, once I opened her bank account I could deposit the money but every time is next week that I stopped asking it’s too close to begging

It don’t my friend did it… it requires both parents there well did and signature and re print of the birth certificate

Avatar

I got all my babys stuff but if you want him to legally pay I’m just saying it don’t make a different if he isn’t on it etc. He dont have rights without my permission to take her out the country etc if he was to see them etc and he’s just a sperm doner. From experience they never change. If he’s not any good now and not being preset and isn’t doing nothing for the child, I would just leave him off.

speaking of this he did say If I don’t put him on the BC he will kidnap her and I will never see her again, even tho I know it’s empty threats how do I know one day it can happen

Avatar

Very mature of him. My ex used to say stuff like this too, or that he will go to court and make me lose my child to custody etc, boring, never happened. And threats like that is why I don’t regret

Avatar

exactly I keep asking the same question, he’s never there, emotionally abusive but he doesn’t see it, I’m someone who has a soft heart that’s why I’m feeling like that, but I do also know if the table was reversed he wouldn’t let me see her

Do whatever you’re comfortable with. If you don’t want to do it, you shouldn’t feel like you’re forced to🫶🏾

Do not feel bad. No support and no effort to make a bond, you don’t owe him nothing. No offence it’s just a piece of paper so why does he want to be on it when he doesn’t even bother? Don’t let no one make you feel bad. I was in the same position with my first twelve years ago and if I wasn’t young and naive I’d of done the same thing and wish I did.

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol
