Yea if he’s not going to help you figure out times to work then he can pay for childcare. Mention that once everything starts in court and yall can both split that at least once you start working but that’s not fair. I doubt he covers everything for the baby you need to have receipts of what he pays for

It takes TWO to have a baby. I would slap him with the court date. Just because she’s 6 months old doesn’t mean he as the FATHER can’t spend quality time with his daughter, but seems to only want something to do with her when it’s convenient for him (when she’s older/walking). That’s NOT a dad!

Yeah he’s not it. Many men have this mindset and it’s like you’re 35 male more of an effort. God blessed you with a beautiful FAMILY and you’re revoking his blessing to you. . . Trust he’ll get his.

I really dislike it when people have this notion that being a dad is only providing a paycheck. It takes love and care to be a father. And he clearly ain’t got it. 🙄

Mama dont waste your time trying to have a conversation with him. Dont even text him w a court date. File the case and let a sheriff serve his ass. Once he see a cop at his door maybe he’ll open his eyes this aint a game. Either way if youre really trying to file a case remember collect proof of EVERHTHING. Literally everything you buy or pay take videos pictures of your baby being safe with you. If you ever txt him saying can u watch the baby and he declines SAVE those messages. Try to not have phone conversations if you can avoid it. Text messages are proof for later on. Take pictures of what he hands or money he sends you as he claims to provide for the baby. Save dates and times he sees the baby or even asks abt the baby. Everything mama. Show the court how he ISNT a father. 🙂

He said “Im 35 and dont have that kind of energy” oh but to have sex you got the “energy” 🤣🤣

Girl save those messages and let the judge see them. Because ain’t no judge going to have mercy on him after reading that.

💯 on this advice

This guy is such a loser 🙄 my bd said similar things to me. Now he fakes like he gives a fuck but still won't do shit
I would also say don't fuck w him, keep your peace, and just do your thing. Keep evidence along the way.
You gotta focus on how to make it as if he didn't exist or just use the court to hold him accountable.
Also fuck that guy fr he will never have a bond w his child if he doesn't start now and the fact that he said that just speaks to him being a messed up individual that she's better off not having to deal w anyways. Men suck smh

35 yo manchild. What does he think every other parent does when they work?
He doesn't want to do the hard baby years but just when they are independent and can throw a ball?
Even with a court order you can't make him parent or be the parent your child deserves.
Bld a support system, take him to court for money and get childcare too so you can grow you life without him.
💩💩💩

“I don’t have energy” at 35 is diabolical 😂😂😩😩😩😩😩
Ok then methuselah

The 35 thing makes me laugh!! I’m 40, pregnant with autistic 2 year old and autistic 8 year old yeah it’s hard work but you do what you have to for your kids

Also much easier looking after a 6 month old than a toddler!

Yes it's your body your choice but he's the one that put the baby in you he has to step up to just like my partner did he wanted to me to get an abortion but I didn't I look after our daughter while he does other stuff to help out, he needs to step up and help out it doesn't matter how old he is or how he has no energy he's a father now and needs to stop being a dick and be a father

Take him to court baby girl & focus on you and your bubs.

I agree id take him to court to make him help you and enjoy everything little moment with your baby

His comment about 35 made me laugh, my partner is older and gets in from work and plays and looks after our child for hours. Your baby's dad doesn't want to enough, he needs to stop making excuses and step up. You didnt get pregnant on your own. Hopefully you get to a place soon where you can agree on a set up that's suits you both in the best interests of your child x

“6month year old” 🤡

I already file
Court date is Aug 4th
He on the birth certificate and all I just want them to give us a schedule

🙄 girl I felt this. My BD is the same way. The “I’m 35 and don’t have that kind of energy.” Got me messed up. Like boy bye 👋

Honestly, I wouldn’t even trust him watching her after he said all that. Just focus on you and your baby.

the whole kill is
He been watching her /getting her when I ask but recently like a month ago
He mad cuss I be talking to his other bm
Now he don’t want to get her

girrrrrel my bd is the same way! He don’t want me talking to the other bm! Why is that???

Girl fuck this loser 🙄. I wouldn’t let this mf be a part of my baby’s life!! Pshhh wait till she’s older and can walk & talk boy bye. Step up now or don’t step up at all. Hate a dead beat 🙄

Omg, I honestly can’t believe men like this exist?! He’s been working all day and doesn’t have the energy to ‘go off and watch A 6 month old’ and then go to work again the next day? Boohoo welcome to most parents world fml, he seems so detached & there’s nothing he can do at 6 months? He can do everything you can?! (Apart from breastfeeding) what a man child
