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.

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

🙄 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 👋

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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 🙄

Avatar

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

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.

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️

Hiiii!

Hey yall! I’m Mahala and socially awkward as hell. I’m looking for other moms to connect with to hang out in person or on FaceTime. Drink coffee while the kids destroy the house. Literally anything. Making friends is hard in motherhood when you don’t know how to talk to people. I’m pretty low maintenance friend and we can talk whenever. And I’m down to do anything within reason. Let’s chat!
