What would you guys do? Baby dad gone awol….

Me and baby dad broke up in pregnancy and he has been pretty shit with bubba since he was born. He’s gone AWOL AGAIN, for 3 weeks, missed 4 appointments, no contact, not even asking how is baby is. I don’t feel like my son needs this kind of inconsistency in his life tbh. I just want him to fuck off entirely if he isn’t gonna be present….

You can’t force him to have a relationship with your son. You have to take care of you since you’re the only parent that cares. You can’t get caught up on what dad is or isn’t doing. Focus on you and that baby. If he can’t be present 100% of the time then he doesn’t deserve to have unlimited access to your lives. He’s made it clear he barely gives af.

From a child that has had my dad in and out my life (more out than in), stop this before they understand. It’s the biggest thing that has destroyed me since I was around 5/6, I’m now 31.

I hate being a mum.

I never wanted kids before but here I am now with an almost 6 month old and I’m so depressed every single day. I feel down and hate my life. Everyone keeps saying it gets better but it’s actually getting worse for me. Don’t know what to do. I feel trapped in this life that I hate. Partner goes to work everyday so it’s just me and my baby. I’m also bored out of my mind and just feel so depressed.

Cheating when pregnant

I just discovered he slept with someone else while I was pregnant. Our baby is now 18m. Not sure how to deal with this?

He broke up with me recently anyway.

Yet I still love him 😫

Are you able to completely wipe your bum after a 💩 with just one single sheet of toilet paper?

Someone was bragging to me recently about this, and I just couldn’t understand how that could be, but he said my diet probably isn’t great if I need additional sheets.

I want to Feel like myself

I want to feel like myself. But if I'm being honest. I didn't even know who I really was before I had my baby girl. How do you find yourself? As your going thru postpartum and dealing with spending all the free time pumping or grabbing something to eat or a shower etc?

Kissing babies

I'm just wanting to hear everyone's opinions because my boyfriend and I still can't agree, I think we are both struggling to understand eachothers pov? When my baby was born we both had an agreement that nobody is allowed to kiss our baby, I made this clear with all of my family and friends very early on. We went to visit his gran a couple of weeks ago after she was sadly diagnosed with a brain tumour and told she has a short amount of time left. It was her first time meeting my child and sadly, perhaps the last due to distance(although we are hoping to visit in the near future🤞🏻). When we was there she kissed him on two occasions and when I pulled my partner on it he thought I was cruel for saying she can't kiss our baby as she is dying. I am happy for her to hold him, cuddle him all the rest .. I just don't want anybody to kiss him as I don't think it's worth the risk. He said there's a higher risk bringing him in the car than having his gran kiss our baby. For background context my father is of a similar age to his gran, he has Parkinson's, dementia and has previously suffered a stroke.. he lives across the water from us and everytime we see him I don't know if it's the last but I continously tell him he can't kiss our baby. I'm worried if we visit again this will be a problem as we argued over this on a few occasions. Am I in the wrong?
