My boyfriend has two girls already and I have two girls n we just found out we ate having another girl together! I feel he was disappointed yesterday bc I know he wanted a boy but he says he is not. Add far as baby mommas are concerned feel proud that you are now the one.

She's gonna call you names, make you fight, try to make her self look better, act like your friend, talk crap behind your back, make herself look awful! I hold nothing that she says to me back from my children. Because they're old enough to understand that she's not as perfect as she makes her self to me. And they sure do understand it !

Let's face it ! There is a reason most of our men left their baby mommas ! In my case she's a lying, crazy, no job having, sorry excuse of a mother !!! We've had two of the three for 121 days today. Shes had them for all of 5 days. And the third that she has custody of has been staying with someone else !! She hasn't held a job down in forever. Our men upgrade ! For reasons :)

I know how it feels my bf has a son that is going to be 3 he seems excited about having a baby with me but other times it feels like he doesn't care. Im trying to get him involved with doctor appointments but something always comes up with his son. He was not involved with any appointment or even the birth of his son. I dislike his babymomma very much she is always trying to take his son away from him constantly causing problems. His babymomma is on her 3 child and she is only 19 but before she got pregnant with her third baby she broke me and my bf up because she wanted her "family" back and this was after her baby had passed.from sids last year.

My husband has 2 kids, 13 & 15 with his ex. We have full custody of both of them, because of all of the crap and drama she puts then through. Not to mention she drinks... All the time. The kids see her maybe once a month, if they contact her, she's never the one to contact us to see if he can see them. When they do see her, I usually drop them off at a restaurant or movie theatre and pick them up from there as well because we are not comfortable having them drive with her because of her drinking.
I thought my husband wouldn't be as excited for our little one, but it is the complete opposite! He sometimes seems more excited than I am. His ex never told him when drs appts were so he never got to go to the ultrasounds.. So when he saw our little one for the first time... It was so amazing... We were both experiencing it for the first time together :)

My boyfriend has a 5 year old girl from his ex(who is a complete *****) and I have a son that will be 3 next month from my ex. so we already have a kid each, lol and this will be our first together. My bf is really supportive and other than being worried about finances he's happy we're having a baby. To me it's like a whole new experience because my sons dad was never around my whole pregnancy plus I was younger and alot more stressed out about having a baby and scared. This time around I actually have my bf to share the experience with and we're excited and can't wait to find out what we're having. :)

My boyfriend has two boys from two other women, we used to see the kids but their moms are psycho... I don't feel as if its special because he's already gone through it twice, which upsets me sometimes but that's how the dice were rolled... this is his first girl, so I'm pretty sure he acts different then with the boys, but it still bothers me to an extent.

She will do that ! My husbands ex told him the youngest was going to die because she wanted to split him and I up and get him back. We caught her in the lie. She's kept them away from him months at a time. She would make him kiss her feet just to see them. It was rediculous. You take on the responsibility of fighting the baby mommas stupidity when you get with a man who already has children

I feel like hes been through it already and he expects me to be like the mother of his child independent and not really need him for anything i think she acts that way because she wants him she even tries to keep the kid away from him its just alot to deal with..

My husband is excited for the child. But he's been through all of the pregnancy stuff. So it can make you feel alone because he already knows and doesn't wanna hear about it...

My husband already has kids but he's still excited about this pregnancy, he always says children are a blessing & he wanted another girl. (we're having a girl) he takes off for every Dr.s visit he can & went to the baby shower. & we are way civil with his ex wife & her new man we can actually go over there & visit with them & the kids for a while.
However sometimes I do wonder if its not as special to him, & if she's not going to be his little princess since he already has one but I think its just something we worry about. :/

My husband has three kids with his ex wife. Although we have custody of two. I think she is a piece of crap. The oldest hasn't stayed the night with her in three months cuz she always makes excuses. And the other its been a month. And I don't feel its as special.. But its still very special.

Absolutely! My boyfriend has a five year old girl and now we are expecting our first child together. This is my first pregnancy so I am so excited, however he isn't as much. He says its because the initial excitement of having a baby is over since he already had one. It brings me down a lot. Also I worry that my baby will not mean as much to him as his daughter. That girl is his world and I don't want our baby to feel second to her. :(
