Help?

Hello all. I am 18, going on 19 and my son is about to be two months old. The father isn't meeting all of the requirements I would want but he is a wonderful boyfriend all at the same time. I am just unsure of what to do. Does anyone else have this same problem, and is there anyone out there I could talk to privately? I am just worried that I am not doing the right thing as a new mother...

Maybe he doesn't realize he isn't contributing as much as you like. Have you talked to him about it?

hi, i had those same questions when i was your age. i was 17 with a dd, and my boyfriend wasn't up to par, either. if you want you can pm me anytime.

That's how DF was up until recently but as our son gets bigger he gets more comfortable taking care of him.

Welcome and congrats on the new baby! I think sometimes it takes Dads a bit longer to "get" being a parent. My advice is to be honest with him. Maybe you are expecting too much, maybe he has no idea what you expect.
