baby daddy vent!!

Anyone else have a baby daddy that doesn't seem to be very interested in the baby? Ugh I want to punch him. Everything we have for the baby, I bought. He hasn't bought anything. He doesn't want to go to birthing classes with me, and he never touches my stomach or shows any interest in her at all. Has anyone's baby's dad been like this and then changed when the baby was born?

Mines haven't brought **** for his son either I ask him when will he buy anything he says when my next pay check comes and he never does.... but he does keep pica of the ultrasound in his phone and rubs my belly but I still hate him sometimes.... when I was 14 weeks prego he left and I never heard from him until I was 18 weeks pregnant now isn't that a *****.... I'm 32 weeks prego and he says he loves me (********) but he still hasn't grow up yet n hes 25 n I'm 20 and I act more mature than him and he told me he always wanted a black son now he got one now hes acting kinda shady.... so I have it in my mind ima have to raise my son alone and keep it on moving....guys like ours r douche bags fyi he doesn't even know my due date I have to remind him.... I hope they grow up n realize that they need to be dads not a deadtbeat one

In the beginning my bf was like that too.. and it really upset me because he already has a 3 year old daughter and i felt like this one wasnt special to him. i did alot of b*tchin and crying before he actually sat and listened to me about how i was feeling. Now hes pretty excited and we are making the baby book together but sometimes he doesnt seem that excited. i think guys forget sometimes because they dont have a baby inside them constantly reminding them. dont worry he will probably come around!

My bf didnt show any interest and he already had a son!Then when I had our baby boy his whole world changed. HEs a great father and spends so much time with him. Our son is now 8 months and im 6 months pregnant with another boy, and he shows no interest in the baby inside.  But I know onve he comes out everything will change again:) theres hope lol

Lol I'm just glad its over...i love my son so much :) I'm glad I'm a single mommy <3 i know i can take care of my kid nd i know he wasn't ready to b a father he knows nothing about kids so I'm glad i don't have to teach him nd he wasn't mature anyway he acted like a big kid nd i didn't wanna raise two boys when I'm only giving birth to one

She's the first baby for both of us, were only 19! But when I found out I was pregnant I asked him about adoption and he said absolutely not. He wanted this baby! He used to be so happy about it and kiss my stomach and actually show interest in her. So idk what's going on with him :(

Different men act differently about different prefancys. I don't think youshouldlleave yet. See what happens. Is this his first baby, it may not have sunk in yet .mike was not really involved or understanding with the last pregnancy but that was our first baby,and she was unplanned. This pregnancy is much different still he is calm but he at least wanted to go to the appointments and touch the belly this time this one was planned

I feel you should be having your baby for you more then for him. My first child's father was complete opposite he was so involved while I was pregnant but when my daughter came he was stand off ish . I'm not going to tell u leave him Bc that's not what u want to do obviously but u shouldn't feel like being with him is ur only option

I think its best if you leave him make him realize what he's missing if he's man enough to go after you then work things out but for your best and the baby tell him he eaither reacts or your leaving for your best honestly my baby daddy doesn't want the baby eaither so I left simple as that hel react sooner or latrr but for now we don't need their ********
