Crying..Not Good Enough

[FirstMommy06]

The father of my child likes to joke around saying "I wont be able support my child" but he will always take care of our son. All because I have a minimum wage job. It hurts my feelings because I will/do bust my butt to support my baby when he arrives. Ill do anything to make sure he doesnt go without. It just hurts me that he doubts me & it also hurts because like I want to be a great mom & to think theres even a hint of doubts tears me down. :'( :'(

My dad passed away last year he is my idol. He taught me everything about life. He always told me "I dont want to go to work but I got kids at home to take care of" he did anything and everything for us. So even though Im pregnant I walk to work all the time and do what I have to for my child. I may not have everything but I do have love. And with Love & my savior anything is possible. You cant take money to Heaven. But at the end of the day it still hurts my feelings. My dad always said "As long as Im alive my children will never go without." & thats how I plan to be. I may work minimum wage but as long as I can take care of my son and hes okay. Im okay. Ill go without before my son does. Im only 20 years old but Ive graduated high school with mainly As. I will take care of my responsibilities as a mother.

As a man,  how can he compare what you can provide to what he can provide financially. What man does that?   Doesn't he understand that this is a team effort.  As a father,  he had a role to make sure you have what you need to care for his child's needs- feed,  bathe,  clothe,  nurture,  educate,  lead and all around happiness of your baby.  This isn't a competition.   What is this world coming to?

WHAT?!? First off as parents you should be a TEAM regardless of your situation. He needs to learn NOW that for the next 18 years you guys are in this together on both finances & decisions. Not for nothing we grew up BROKE what I remember most is my Mom taking us on "Nature Adventures" which were walks around the neighborhood, making Bunny Cakes etc... My father may have been the main provider but my memories are mostly of my Mother being the best mom she could be!
You already sound like your their so ignore him.

Don't listen to him! I'm sorry but what an *******!!! I had my first child at the age of 17 and I was a single mother. I worked a minimum wage job and went to college full time and still supported my baby on my own. She is 14 noes and in high school! I never depended on anyone but me and I did what I had to do to support her. We even lived with other people and had roommates but she never suffered not once. I'm sorry but he is an *** and you need to realize it isn't about how much money you have. Your child is gonna remember the good, fun times and how they were loved by mom, not how much money she makes.

I went thru the same thing with my kids dad. But He never helped me financially after we broke up until I put him on child support and even then he fought it and took me to court . I would too bust my butt trying to support my children. All the money in the world doesn't make my kids dad a better dad.  My kids don't respect him. Buy I have they're love, respect , and gratitude because they've seen how I've busted my *** to provide and most important I've been there! Good luck mommy I really wish you the best and don't let anyone bring you down for any reason

Don't listen to nonsense like that.  All the money in the world won't make you the best mom in the world . sounds to me like your a great mom if you have that mentality. All your child needs is food, clothing, shelter , and most important of all lot of love!!!
