Am i a shitty mom

My son is about to be 9 months, and we currently live with his dad in a duplex. He doesnt work. If he does he works maybe 3 days and finds an excuse to quit. He says its not worth his time for what they pay. I work sunday through friday 5 am to 1:30 and i cant make ends meet. When i was on maternity leave he let bills rack up crazy and i had to use my whole retun to pay off the bills. And now ik the asshole because we obly jave about 200 dollars till i get paid again on the 18th. This is what he had to say when i complained that we wouldnt have had to use all of my return of he wouldve ketp a job that was perfect for our schedule and for our commute. He quit the job because they obly paid him 18/hr and he wasnt gonna do the job pf a machine for soemone who smokes a vape( he hates people who vape and his manager was doing so). Am i a shitty mom if i take my son away from his dad and run to harbor house? I just cant keep with financial abuse. I try everything to keep us above water and he just spits in my face about it.

umm he seems absolutely insufferable im sorry you’re going through this mama, I wouldn’t say you’re a shitty mom at ALL, in fact quite the opposite… you shouldn’t have to take care of a baby AND a manchild

This literally sounds like a skit from a “how to deal with a narcissist page” I’m so sorry.
I’d be responding with

“Ya know what, I am stuck, because you stuck me here. And now call me weird when I’m upset that I’m the only one working to support our family? Ew, you’re weird. I’d support you if there was something to support but what am I suppose to hype you up for not being a responsible adult that can keep a job longer than you wear a pair of underwear? I want you to win, I’d sing your praises if I wasn’t mad ALL THE TIME. You made me spiteful. Do you plan to do anything about it, or just piss and moan about yourself and your blatant failures some more?”

I’m raging for you

Hi this is reality and in reality we live under capitalism and under capitalism money is required in order to survive.

Not sure what part is hard for him to understand.

This bum will never amount to anything and he will be nothing but a financial burden to you and your child.

This man is expensive, you cannot afford him.

You’re a smart mom bc you’re thinking of stability for your child. I’d go with your gut feeling

Where are my sober moms at? No 420 and no other drugs

A lot of the people on here say they are 420 friendly. Are there any moms on here that don't smoke weed and don't do any other drugs? Yes. Weed is a drug. It might not be as strong as some other drugs, but it is still a drug. I do not do any drugs and I do not have any addictions of any kind. I never have. It makes me upset when I find out that some people did that stuff while pregnant. I live in GA and almost everyone who lives around me apparently either smokes weed or does other drugs.

Baby abroad with dad

I need genuine advice whether I’m being crazy.

BD wants to take our baby who will be 12 months at the time abroad to meet his family in Georgia. He currently has her every Sunday, she’s not even been round there overnight yet. This is due to drug charges and other reasons I won’t get into.

We don’t have a court order it is informal arrangent. I have done everything myself for the past 9 months, from sleepless nights, breastfeeding to weaning. I am the primary caregiver.

I am so filled with anxiety at the thought of her being without me for a week let alone abroad?! He’s kicked off and said I’m being unreasonable and it’s not fair.

Is this normal or what? Asking me for reasons why I’m not ok with that?

Am I the only one..?

Am I the only one that, sometimes, stop myself from saying something because if the other person has a different skin colour than me I fear they might take criticism as racism?

Am I wrong

Sometimes I wanna tell my fiance to go eat out someone else since I'm tired or go have intercourse with someone else wrong for that🤔
