What do I do if my boyfriend does not help out with the baby but wants to be on the birth certificate I fee like. I'm a…

If he's the father then he should be placed on the birth certificate xx

@lucyspear., even tho we live together and he goes out gets drunk and does not come back k home and never helps out with the baby but I get his family saying what a wonderful job he is doing

@gabrielladode1 when the baby is crying dont get up just sit there and let him see to him get him involved with everything you do even make him bath the baby with you iv been through this problem with my partner and our kids @gabrielladode1

If you feel that way why stay with him? If he is that bad then leave. You wouldn't stay with someone but not have them on the birth certificate. A bit backwards if you ask me...

@chesscalouise2, trust me I have done all that and he still does nothing

@gabrielladode1 surly he won't just leave the baby if he needs feeding or changing so dont you do it tell him to do it and if he says make sure you tell him how selfish he is and that your son isnt just yours hes his aswell

He should be placed on the birth certificate, he's the father of your child.

@lucyspear., ok then I will do it

Doesn't matter what he does and doesn't do, that's irrelevant when it comes to a birth certificate. If your not happy why are you with him

Because I have a child with him

And trying to make it work

Sorry trying to make it work but debating whether to put him on a birth certificate🙄

@lucyspear., it is really complicated where I come from no matter what if a guy gets you pregnant from my country your stuck in. That and the families from both sides come together and try to make it work

I'm very confused.

It is hard to explain.

If it's that complicated & your family would make you stay with someone like that then I'm guessing they would also force you to have him on the birth certificate. If you have the will to not put him on it, have the will to leave him.

Like @lucyspear., and everyone else have said he's the father he SHOULD be on the birth certificate no matter what, and if your not happy just leave @gabrielladode1,

No matter where you come from that baby should have both parents on the birth certificate. And no one can force you to stay with him especially when there's a baby on the scene, to me when there's a baby involved if he's that bad he shouldn't be around doesn't seem to complicated but he should be on birth certificate

I agree with everyone. A birth certificate isn't reserved for who plays dad best, it's there to have both biological parents on regardless of if they step up on there roles as a parent. No dad should be refused his name on a birth certificate based on their behaviour. He's the babies dad so he goes on the birth certificate. I'm with @lucyspear., @lauren1996, @sara-lou86, and anyone who else who says as I have

Dads have rights.

I think dad should be on birth certificate too, when baby grows up, they have a right to know who their biological parents are. If either mum/dad doesn't play a role in their life then the child would know anyway, but they still have a right to have the parents on that certificate x

I don't think he Shud b on it if he does jack shit for his child and if he's not on it it's less hassle for u coz wen he is on birth certificate he has parental responsibility and he can jus take ur child if u split up and police cud not do anything about it x

He deserves to be put on the birth certificate not for him but for your baby. They deserve to know who their dad is. Xx

The father on the certificate mean nothing...the real father is the one who care and give love ...
