I'm Currently Feeling: | Just when I thought he was coming to terms with it... he's talk about putting the baby into foster care until he has a job and i've finished uni and got a job (which would be in like 5 years)..!! so i told him hell no i'm not letting my baby get attatched to some carer and then thinking i'm a complete stranger- it doesn't work like that!
then he started playing the sympathy card and saying he isn't ready to be a dad and that it's always me making the decisions, like when i said i wasn't having an abortion. so i told him it's my body and baby, i'll do what the f*** i like with it. what a complete knob- if you're old enough to get someone pregnant then take responsbility (he's 18 not bloody 10 years old). how could anyone possibly think it's so easy to give your baby into foster care, it's not like i would give it a crap life anyway.
now i just feel completly alone with this, it's like he's not even part of it! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Too late for him to decide he isn't ready to be a dad. He has to take responsibility x |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I can't believe he would even suggest it! It's one thing to say before you're pregnant that he's not ready yet but in 5 years he will be, but it's a bit late to be deciding that now! Tell him he needs to grow up and take some responsibility! It might not be the best timing for either of you, but I'm sure you'll be a great mum  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I would tell him that unfortunately you cannot just offload your child onto social services and then pick them back up when you want to. It just doesn't work like that. He needs to take responsibility for his actions. If he's man enough to get it up and make a baby, then he should be man enough to look after one. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Shocking that someone would suggest putting their own baby into foster care. My god!
Hope he comes to his senses!   |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Thats the most immature behavior I have seen so far...
Ship off the baby and then just take it in when he feels like it?!
What the hell?
Idiot.Seriously honey,he needs a reality check.
Make sure you show him your 20 weeks scan pics so maybe he realizes that it's a child not a puppy. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | for f*cks sake - why do men think they dont have a choice when it comes to pregnancy....IF YOU DONT WANT A BABY THEN WEAR A BLOODY CONDOM!!!
he is probably scared and trying everything in the book to shy away from his responsibility rather than have to deal with it...
He may come round....in the meantime try and enjoy your pregnancy! x |
