FED UP!!!
Im fed up with my daughters father! He only sees my daughter when he feels like it! I feel so alone, like noone understands! I just want my daughter to have a normal life. It's already the 24th of November and he's seen her once--- wow SUPER DAD_ huh? Just because her pays child support (court mandated) he thinks he is such a good dad! i just wish he would either be responsible or just leave us alone.

I can definitely understand where you are coming from. I have 4 children by the same man, and we split for good about 9 months ago. He barely pays me child support (I havent gone through the courts yet) and he only sees the kids like 1 time a week or once every 2 wks. When he does see them, he hasnt kept them overnight. He just started watching them for me on weekend days b/c sometimes i have to work, but i have to drop them off at 6:30am and pick them up as soon as I get off work. He doesnt even live the life of a parent at all. He is free to do whatever he wants to do everyday all day and Im the one who is taking care of every single one of our childrens needs. Im the one feeding, dressing, taking and picking up from daycare, bathing, washing clothes, dealing with their misbehavior, etc ... all day every day.
He is more concerned about getting me back than he is spending quality time w/ his kids. Its ridiculous!
If you want to send me a message, we can talk more. I know its hard, but we have to be the responsible adults in these situations.

I am sorry, men are so not connected with their kids. It has to be the birth we go through. Honestly, my opinion is some men love the kids when they still in love the women, or are with the women still. When they split up, they feel like whats the point. They move in for the next family.

I wish you all the best,
Shauna

Sorry to hear that Michelle, it is very hard when a father is not involved. My older son's father was around for maybe 6 months then hasn't seen him since (my son is now 6 years old). I never took him to court to pay child support b/c I just didn't want him in my life, and now he is not. I know how stressful & alone you feel, but just know that this will pass. Your daughter has one good parent, so make sure you take great care of her! Keep us updated.

shauna, I'm going to disagree. My parents got divorced when I was two and my dad has had more to do with me than my mom and even flew across country to see us for a day (which turned into only a couple of hours) when he hates flying. I know that if something happened in my marriage that my husband would fight to see our son as much as he could. Some guys are low lifes and some aren't. A lowlife starts as a low life, it's not progressive.

I'm going thru the same situation right now. I just got a divorce and my son's father already claimed that he would not pay child support nor see his son anymore. It was and still heartbreaking for me to hear that. I know I will get him to court to pay me child support but I can't force him to see his son. I sometimes do feel gulity about the whole thing but at the end it's not our choice but the father's. His Loss.
