Look i know a baby dad suppose to help but he wont he thinks just  buying a crib and diapers is helping it is not. I am a first time mother and I would love for him to step up and offer to take her to give me some time to myself I been with my baby 24/7 since she has been born and it is hard and I would love to o get my hair done or run around without dragging her along or just sleep one whole night without having to wake up. He wants to file for custody but she is 3 months and he wont recive what he want he dose not give me money for her and he refuses to help me with picking her up from daycare. It either his way or nothing. I am about to scream and I dont know what to do about everything it is breaking my  heart to be this way angry and stressed all the time.  I  need some people to talk to.

It seems you're betterbof without his support. Is his name on the birth certificate? If yes, you can file for child support, if no, he won't be able to get any custody. What an ass.

*hugs* is this his first baby too? Being a single mom is hard to adjust to, but trust me it does get easier, and my dd father was that way, but the older she got the more he would help out, i hope things get better!

he is taking me to court for  perturnity test even though I  gave him the forms 3 times to  be  put on the birth certificate... He says he provieds for her but my baby is 4 moths old and he bought a pack a diapers and a crib and 3 outfits that not providing though I  spent well over 900 on her already for bottles n everything else.

That's not really true. If he's not on the birth certificate he can file for custody.....but it will just take longer because he will have to have a paternity test done and get put on the certificate first. My BIL is going through this all now because his ex decided to not put his name down. He brought it to court, will get a paternity test done then file for custody and set up child support.

Even if he isnt on the birth certificate you can take him to court for child support, they will make him take a dna test. it also sounds like you have a bit of post pardum depression. i would talk to your dr about that. do you have any friends or family that can help you?

IF he does not want to help on his own he dosent need any rights to her. I have family but in the end I am the one doing everything myself. I dont know what to do sometimes I just wanna leave n not come back. Sometimes I  go outside and scream till my voice hurts. I dont know what to do I dont want to take it out on my Daughter but it is hard with everything.

First off, there is no way he can get custody. Unless you are a crazy drug addict and a drunk, and it sure doesn't sound like you are. Second, he sounds selfish. he obviously isn't ready to be a daddy. I was a single mom for a long time, and its hard at first. But you can do it. Women are far stronger than they gives themselfs credit for 9 times out of 10.
