My baby dad 🙄

Just on here to have a rant and see your opinions.

So my baby dad and I were together when I got pregnant but since then we started arguing a lot and I noticed how poorly he treated me.

He would often scream in my face when we were arguing and then tell me it was my fault. He would get annoyed when I didn’t want to sleep with him anymore, we then split up after about a month and a half into the pregnancy and since then he because really horrible.

Since we split he would turn up to at my home and leave things outside my home, he would message me with abuse and tell me he wished he never got me pregnant and how he was “wounded” that I’m the mother of our baby, he made threats of kidnapping our child and said he would take me to court to get the baby taken off me and he would “make sure they have the best possible life” even if that meant I wouldn’t be around

Since then I’ve acctually taken him to court and he is no longer allowed to contact me however he has contacted me and he wants to be put on the birth certificate but I don’t want to put him on there, and it’s not to be a bitch but I’m genuinely concerned because of the threats he’s made.

Should I put him in the birth certificate?

Hey, firstly sorry to hear you have had such a hard time and congratulations on your little one. Sounds like you are at a crossroads, have you sought legal advice or anything like that ?

Fuck no do not put him on. Don't tell him when the baby is born either. He's abusive. If you put him on the birth certificate he will have rights to your child and he will abuse that child as well

i have an IDVA and we went to court and he’s not allowed to contact me, he’s to stop turning up at my home, and he’s not allowed to post about me anymore social care we’re involved briefly and they said that they would recommend I didn’t put him on the birth certificate but I’m worried about how he’s going to react when he finds out baby has been registered and he’s not on the birth certificate if I don’t put him on there

If he’s not allowed to contact you, how is he going to find out?

our court order states that the only contact allowed is about the baby and nothing else

That’s hard.
Does the court state anything about him being on the birth certificate.
Do you maybe need to get legal advice on this specific issue?

Oh hell no! and if there is a court order not to contact you, he broke it. You don’t have to tell him when you go into labor so go have your baby in peace. Legally contact him after all the paperwork is filled out.

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Is it just me?

I’m 35. I have a 21 month old and i’m 5 months pregnant. I have no friends. Everyone has either drifted away or ghosted me. I don’t know what i’ve done but i’m so lonely now. My best friend of 20 years has ghosted me and i’m heartbroken. I’ve tried to reach out to other friends but never get anywhere. I don’t know how to make new friends. I honestly just feel so alone.
