He Stupid

[Nehemiah_Mommmy]

My baby father mad because I won't give him  15 outta my 50 my mother giving me for our son. This our son money Why is you trying to take his money away from him. He calling me a bad parent because I'M getting him a basket to put his clothes in so it won't be with mines. Like really he really need to educate himself. The basket is because I wear perfume and I don't want that on his clothes.

Are you serious?  You two must be VERY young.

Agree with NG and SM.

DITTO the above replies 100%.

Parents should be giving up THEIR money to go towards anything their child needs, not the other way around.  I agree that he doesn't sound like a very good choice for a partner if that's typical for him.

Okay, I hesitated with my answer on this one and had to think about it.  I agree.  What's wrong with this man?  I spend ALL of my extra money on my kids.  My husband would wear shoes with holes in them for his kids.  I buy myself nothing if it means that my kids go without.  It's part of being a parent and the commitment to care for your child.  

what does he want 15 dollars for out of 50 given for the child?  Is he THAT hard up for money?  Not exactly attractive in a partner.  What kind of job does he have?  How on earth is he going to support a child if he wants money that someone else donates to the care of the baby?  Are you going to be able to afford the expense of the baby?

I will say that I use the same laundry basket for my kids and myself and always have.  The purpose of washing the clothes is that they are cleaned of whatever is on then . . .  including perfume.  so, if I'm washing clothes anyway, I don't need them separated from mine.  And if I only had 50 dollars to get things for the baby, that might not be what I spend 5 bucks on.  BUT, that is your business and your the one who gets to make that decision.

This guy sounds odd.  And like a taker.  Even from his own child.  Sad.  I agree that you should  be irritated and worried.  Don't give in to him and ask him to mature a bit into a man.  good luck

Tell him to quit being a lousy bum and get a job if he wants money. That's how normal people get money, they actually work for  a living instead of expecting handouts from everyone.
