Having a Baby Has Changed My Life
Quote From: sdakotahi, i am 21 yrs old, i never planned on having a baby this young, but things happen, my b/f of 2 yrs i just broke up with 2 monthes ago because he wasn't being the father he should be. basicly he wasn't around much said he was busy working but he wasn't he was do what he wanted. even before the baby come i was working more than him trying put money together. i worked 40hrs a week and still made time to see my son and cook and clean. but i don;t have anytime to myself which everyone needs a little time so they don't go nuts. but i took care of the babysitters and the up all nights even when i had to work 5:30 am. if i need help i was to call his family to help me, not him. So i got tried of it and left, it was the hardest thing i did. having a baby is a two way street, it takes to make so it takes to raise it, but not everyone is lucky to have the father be there and help. but now i am in the bad place again the father of my son said he knows what it is like to be in my shoes and knew i was unhappy than, said he has changed, but it took 2 monthes???? My QUESTION IS SHOULD I LET HIM BACK IN??????? please give me feed back. i gave in a little chance he promised to come see me but yes we had storm come thought, but it don't last all night, but he said he would come see me the next day " the I promise 100% i ll be there" guess what he don;t show. i am i better of alone lookin for someone else of what? If it were me, I would not be so eager to let him back in other then to see his child if he wants to. You can't make a person do what they don't want to do. I would expect him to prove himself before accepting him back. You can leave the doors open for him to see his son but you don't have to have to be in a relationship with this guy.
guys like this are only out to get what they can from the female and until the women start standing up for themselves and quit allowing these guys to come into their lives and messing with them, it will continue. Now, I do believe people can have a change of heart but they have to seek out the help that they need, and do the work to prove themselves, they have to want to change and then do it. it all comes down to choices and we all have them.
You are stil young and I think you need to concentrate on you and your child. The baby needs to be your number one priority. Take time for yourself when you can even if it means taking a hot bubble bath while your son is sleeping, put him in a stroller and take a walk, enjoy him and at the same time believe in yourself and know that you don't have to take this guy back if he isn't being what he needs to be for you and his baby.
I agree that it takes two to make a baby therefore it takes two to take care of one, too bad that not every one agrees with this, both men and women are guilty of not taking responsibiltiy for their actions and that is so sad, especially when they bring a child into the world and basically walk away, the little ones certainly does reap most of the consequences when it comes to irresponsible parents.
