Would it be totally disrespectful if I told my parents (whom I'm staying with) that I refuse to go through with the custody/child support battle? (We're slowly getting back together). It's what they want. They help so much but he's doing everything for our daughter, providing for her and helping me despite living an hour away from us but they just hate his guts and are just nasty to him. I want us to work things as parents and not deal with the court. My parents want to act like parents to our daughter instead of letting us handle things until we can move forward and try to get our own place. How should I go about telling them?
Not disrespectful at all! I would definitely get a notarized agreement with him, stating what money he is giving you or what he will be providing for your daughter and how often. Just to be safe, because unfortunately people switch up, but a legal document won't.
tell them your giving him one last chance to do what he needs to do! & you believe he'll do his best once he gets on his feet & the hang of it & got rather not stress yourself or cause conflict with this child support stuff you rather you two as your baby's parents to settle it the right way !co parenting
@sweetpea_nut, it is for sure up to you! You are the parent. I wouldn't let them start controlling things.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Not at all! I think it's very smart and mature too try things out. Some people change after a baby and he might very well could be one. So if you want too give him a chances, go for it. Don't do child support if it's not necessary . Too me honestly it's a last resort
