I had to go somewhere this morning didn't wanna take my baby along. her dad is here and refuse to keep her while I go im so angry I can never depend on him to help!!!

That's unfortunate.  I agree that forcing the issue of expecting a man (as long as you know the baby will be safe.  Some young men---  more than you care to think about are short tempered with their babies and hurt them) to care for his child.  Leave when you need to leave.  I know my husband was a bit of a deer in headlights when we had our first child.  He wasn't sure what to do.  He probably would have let me do everything.  I had to say "here's the baby honey.  See you later."  and just go.  But I knew once he had the baby, baby would be just fine.  Don't put your baby in harms way---  but if you can trust him to do the right thing, then he's not the baby sitter when you have stuff to do, he's the father that has to be expected to participate in child care.  good luck

Girl, i would've just left the baby with the dad. What is he gonna do? Leave the baby behind? He needs to take responsibility also and letting him convince you otherwise is just gonna frustrate you and let him do what he wants when he wants and quite frankly he gave that up as soon as he had gotten you pregnant.
