Since day 1 I have given my SO the benefit of the doubt. His mom died 2 weeks before our son was born so I let a lot go telling myself he was mourning. We live separate and he wouldn’t ask to see his son so I wouldn’t ask him to. Anytime I asked friends with kids they would say “he’s a man, it’s different for them” and more excuses like that. He now blames me for our son crying saying my mom and I held him too much as a newborn. When we spend the night over there he sits our 4 month old in the swing and expects him to be fine for hours only taking him out for feedings and changing. I told him this is bad for his social and motor skills and that he needs to be entertained. He replied to me “then you entertain him 24/7” never would I ever want to keep our son from his father but is it reasonable now? He’s not willing to do what my 4 month old needs in order to grow..help!
Fathers don’t have the same patience and love as mothers do and that’s normal plus he’s mother died recently which is understandable but what I don’t get is why he gives attitude when he talks to u. Btw my husband always tells me that me and my family spoiled my daughter a lot I guess because men think more of discipline than us mums
Get child support and get rid of that loser who would want that as a father smh 🤦🏽♀️ the shit I read on here he obviously needs some parenting classes I wouldn’t let him near my kid until he graduated that 💯
Maybe he’s still mourning it’s only been four months it’s took my husband 6 months to come back to himself he didn’t wanna talk nor be around anyone especially if his mom treated him like a baby 😒 give it some more time and see what happens I hope everything works out for the both of you❤️
Is the baby over his dads a lot ? More than 50%? if the baby isn’t there for a lot of time. Don’t beat yourself up about what he’s not doing. I don’t know how much actually engagement (tummy time etc) my SO has with my son while I’m at work. But I make sure I do ALL I can and more. It would be nice if they cared about the same things we cared about but you can’t make someone care about what you care about
We spend 3&1/2 days at my moms, 3&1/2 days at his house so yeah 50% of the time but I hear ya, I get that a lot that men usually don’t seem to care as much about the details
