BABY DADDY QUESTION

[tiarose92]

SO IF YOU AND UR BABYS FATHER PLANNED ON HAVING A BABY TOGETHER AND U ENDED UP NOT BEING ABLE TO WORK DO U FEEL HE SHOULD B THERE FINANCIALLY! !! WHILE U WERE PREGNANT

[JPlumley26]

WITHOUT A DOUBT! if you plan on making and having a baby, then you are responsible for that growing being. period. which includes before birth...

[tiarose92]

LMFAO! ! I SEE WHY MEN PULL THE BS THEY DO BECAUSE WOMEN LET THEM GET AWAY WITH TOO MUCH!! BUT THANK YOU ANYWAYS FOR UR OPINIONS I'LL KEEP THEM IN CONSIDERATION. ..

I know in the state of mn if a woman uses state funded medical assistance, the father of the baby will owe the state half of all the medical bills. So if you don't have good insurance and high deductibles or increased insurance rates because of the pregnancy, he should help pay for the difference. If my boyfriend and I don't move in by the time the baby is born, the state of mn will go after him for half of all my medical expenses which ends up being about $7,000 if not much much more. So I say yes he does have an obligation to help with medical expenses while pregnant.

I believe he is responsible to help you with anything concerning your pregnancy and the baby. Especially when you all was trying. You shouldn't have to do it all alone just because things didn't work out. And as for someone saying until baby is born he doesn't that is just wrong. A baby has needs before they arrive, you can't wait until they are born to buy everything and you shouldn't have to buy, it all yourself. Your carrying his child and he should want to help you out and everything.

I think he should definitely provide the things the baby needs carseat diapers etc..

[keaij]

Regardless if you both planned both people should be held responsible. If he is buying baby items and doctors appointments, thats fine as lomg as it meaning about the child and not you and him. If he fails to make a parenting plan than just move forward and put him on child support

My personal opinion***

[rebeccaann11]

My personally option is if you are dating. Maybe.
if you have a your own house and all the house bills and he has a house and house bills. I think it would be hard for someone to pay double every month.
If you two are not dating. I don't think he is responsible to help with other bills that aren't for the baby.
if you two live together and he isn't helping you. Shame on him.  
It would be nice for him to help
Especially if you are on bed rest.

I'm going through the same thing. Except him and I are married. We got married after we found out I got pregnant. He got orders to england and left. He was helping me out but now he wants a divorce and stopped helping me. I feel the exact same way you do. I feel as if he should help me. After all he did help make our baby. Hang in there!!! Feel free to message me if you ever need anyone to just listen. :) Best wishes.

[MSmith90]

It depends on the situation. If you're just dating and have seperate bills to pay (meaning living seperately) then no. However in my situation where I'm married (or sharing bills and living together) then yes. My husband works and pays our household bills and food but if I want something extra like a book or game then he doesn't get it and when we had seperate cell phone bills he didn't pay that either. I guess my opinion is that he takes care of the necessities and living expenses but not any extras.

[mege26]

Are you two in a committed relationship? If so, I feel you should work together as a team. Like when I was unemployed for 3 months my husband took over my part of the bills. If you are not together then I guess 1/2 of Dr bills that concern baby and help get items ready for baby.

[tiarose92]

Thanks a lot ladies I feel he should help 2 just wanted some other opinions ty!!!

[Dariix33]

I think he should take care of you how dare some woman say he only have to take care of the baby when born . Well honey she's the one that will carry the baby for 9 months and suffer , throw up , gain weight and the one that has to attend to all the doctors appointment.  I mean if your man is that low of a man he would of say something like only the child but a real man would take care of the mother of his child period!!!!

[lexus3232]

Yes yes he should be responsible my current situation im a dental hygienist but due to my pregnancy I hv not been able to work lots of issues I hv had so yes my partner takes completely over I mean there is no other way I am his responsibility im hving our baby and its been hard I can't work and he is happy to make sure im ok and that we hv a roof and I hv my snacks and what ever I need !!!

[MsUnpredictable]

I think so cause if yall together and even if yall not he help made the baby its not your fault if you cant work you carrying his baby his own blood yea he should do whatever you need him to do I think its a different story if you just dnt wanna work but still in dat situation you always gon be the mother of his child, I been off work since march n me and my baby father are not together he has another girlfriend but he still supporting me n my needs cause im carrying his baby

[tiarose92]

Thankyou I'm glad some women have sense

[libellula]

Of course he is. You didn't do this by yourself. Just because you are carrying the baby, doesn't get him off on responsibility. That's ridiculous! If he didn't want the responsibility,he should have not pparticipated. End of story

[tiarose92]

Thankyou

[30ftm]

I would say he should be responsible to a certain extent. Especially with the medicals bills or getting to and from the doctor.  I've been so miserable with this pregnancy I wish I could quit. My work is suffering im throwing up all the the time im missing work. We don't get pregnant by ourselves and regardless once the baby is no longer called an embryo and is a fetus its a person a child and ee need help.

[Momof3cookin4]

For the child yes. Mother would depend on the situation.

[mckaylas_momma1018]

Okay... still the answer is no.

[tiarose92]

If u took the time to read it says if u ended up not being able to work. ...

[mckaylas_momma1018]

No, I dont. A father is not financially responsible for the woman he got pregnant, he is financially responsible for the child- and if the child is not born than the woman is not his responsibility.  He could choose to support her, but it is not his obligation to do so. Pregnancy does not prevent a woman for working a full time job and it is not a disability- it is considered a temporary condition.

[STILL_STANDING]

Yes he should cause u didnt get pregnant along
