he probably has a hard time coping with it, just showing it in a bad way. he shouldnt of called you names tho, maybe talk to him about it. Im sure it will be different when shes here, he will be the first to come and visit i bet!

My dad is pretty weird about my situation too. In fact, he won't even mention the fact that I'm pregnant, doesn't acknowledge it at all. I don't feel comfortable talking about anything while he's there....even if he's just in the same room and probably not even listening. I can't even mention the words baby/pregnant anything along those lines while he's there because thats how he's made me feel. Yesterday I had left my maternity notes on the arm of the settee and he tidied them away...so I was like dad wheres my stuff off the arm of the chair...he said what stuff....I could NOT bring myself to even say "maternity notes" !!!! Had to call them "my yellow hospital notes"

Why do men bury their heads in the sand????!!!!!

My dad was similar with my sister and she was in a relationship and had her own house....I know how much he loves my nephew now so I try not to let it get to me.

SORRY - completely went off on one about my own situation there but I'm trying to say that you're not alone. I know for a fact my dad is dreading the baby being here, even though I plan on moving out by summer. To be honest I just ignore it lol...I didn't ask to be in this situation and like yourself I don't want to live on my own, I need my mums help until I know how to look after a baby!!

You may have read a couple of weeks ago about a huge argument I had with my mum? She made me feel like she didn't want me here and I seriously considered moving out...but speaking to her afterwards I realised it was just a heat of the moment thing. Took me about a week or more to forget the things she said and I couldn't be bothered speaking to her for a while. I think our parents are probably just angry at our FOBs, but they can't take their anger out on FOB so they have to take it out on us from time to time.

I hope things get better for you. Your mum obviously wants you there so just try to ignore your dad...you'll need your mum when Scarlett arrives and you shouldn't be made to feel like you have to move out in your condition!

xxxx

as purpldahlia said he is probably more pissed that his own little girl has been treated like $hite tbh! Then again he should know best and not get you all stressed out, you are about to pop for gods sake!

Have you got on the housing list yet for council housing? its a bit crap but anyone can get on it

try not to dwell on it, my dads a moody old git sometimes too xxxx
