I am having issues with my boyfriend and him helping financially: Thoughts?

I would put child support on him too. So if ge leaves its already in motion n that is a guarantee u r getting sone help though court ordered financially from him. Dont be mad at tge daughter she has no fault in this its him n his way of thinking. U have let it go on this way for too long. N to be honest as now a mom urself u know $200 bucks a month is nothing when it comes to bills n raising a kid.

Itā€™s your fault you have one a 7 month old been with him 2 yrs another on the way are you serious? Having another with a male seems immature selfish from what you say but always 3 sides to every story yours, his and the truth!!! You should have thought before you opened, jumped aboard without protection. Sry some jump on dog males look for pitywagon it takes two seems both are being irresponsible.

Sounds luke your not in a good olace in your relationship w/ your man, one you shouldnr be hating what hw soends on his children but by the same token it should be spilit evenly including yours do you work and help oay the household bills? Or is he carrying that himself? You shouldnt be having another child especially if he having problems supporting the ones already his? I take it this is a real issue between you both what do you think is going to happen w/ another child? Please stop having children youre not financially , emotionally, set. Your life is not going to get better brunging more children into you boths lives! I really hope you will start makung better choices life choices

Leave him because he will never change! Get a court order for CS and move on.

I think some have missed the point. I donā€™t think she is complaining about the amount of support he pays or even the money he spends on his daughter. Itā€™s the simple fact she asks for help with the current child and he brings 1 can of formula and is told she that is enough to support that child??

Guys seem to be weird when it comes to money and their kids. Iā€™ve no bio children of my own, but i have five stepsons. One from my current relationship and 4 from my last. Bio mothers in both did very little to nothing to support theor children, the four the dad did a lot, but I wasnā€™t ALLOWED to work because I had to be available to babysit and take them where they needed to be. When I started working I was expected to provide their clothes and toys and what not and that relationship tanked (not because I wouldnā€™t but because i was no longer a 24/7 sitter). This relationship I buy everything for my stepson. Clothes, shoes, school supplies. I pay the house bills and my personal bills. I have nothing left over but my SO now thinks he can get pissy because he pays the rent. Weā€™ll see how long thhis carries on. But neither felt responsible to provide necessities for their kidsā€¦and never mind the fact Iā€™m not technically responsible for any of them.

I think thatā€™s the longest sentence Iā€™ve ever read in my life!

Soooooo heā€™s your bf for 2 years but you donā€™t live together and youā€™re having ANOTHER baby by him? Wtf :thinking:

Stop having babies with low life fathers!! Thatā€™s it for me!!:roll_eyes:

Ok, Iā€™m not saying he is a low life, but if you know he had 2 other kids, and obviously he is doing his best to take care of them, why give him more kids and than fight because he canā€™t take care of yours like you want him to? Maybe you should help out and go work!

Do yā€™all not live together?

Go to court and put child support in placeā€¦ consider birth control

Why arenā€™t you married

Throw his ass out! Have him pay child support and move on. You will survive better without his cheap ass!

if you live together, he pays half of everything or else dump him

Been there done that ! My husband did the same thing . His daughter my previous marriage is 21 now and Iā€™ve told him I better not catch any money swapping hands or Iā€™m going off the deep end on them both. She has a controlling bf . He drinks does drugs and if he gets her in big trouble she will sit there ! And if he gets her out Iā€™ll go off him and her as well . He will do anything for her but our kids together they have always been second.

I wanna know how McDonaldā€™s costs 25-30.00 each visit for 1 adult and 1 6yr old child. Yeah Iā€™m even thinking about desert on this one and I donā€™t see that.

GIRLFRIEND

Enough said.

Sounds to me you are more then a little jealous of his daughter. Does the mother of his son pay him child support? Thereā€™s a lot left unsaid to me, why have another baby with a man you feel doesnā€™t provide enough support for the one yā€™all already have? My husband paid his x-wife $1500.00 a month in CS for his 2 sons ( who are grown now) does that mean we shouldnā€™t have taken then out to dinner or to movies or whatever other activities we wanted to do while they was with us? Maybe he feels guilty that he lives full time with heā€™s other children and only has visitation with his daughter! FYI $200 a month is the lowest amount you can be ordered to pay.

Sounds like youā€™re jealous of his daughter. How much do YOU provide to the house financially? He doesnā€™t live with his daughter, and $200 a month is chump change for child support. Why be so petty about him taking her to McDonaldā€™s? You have a lot of growing up to do. I feel sorry for these kids.

#1. You need to file for support. Yes, heā€™ll be pissed, but, #2. You need a new boyfriend anyway.

This is one reason why women should :running_woman::running_woman::running_woman::running_woman: from men with a child/children. IJS!!! :woman_shrugging::woman_facepalming:

You knew he had children when you decided to have children with him. You donā€™t keep score of what child gets what unless youā€™re immature of course. It sounds like you are jealous of his daughter. Maybe he should run as fast as he can.

This is tough because there isnā€™t enough information for me to give an opinion. I can tell you my situation. My husband and I have been together for 19 years, married for just under 14 years. We both have a son from past relationships and we have a son together. My son lived with us and his daughter lives with her mom. My son moved out, she still lives at home and both are over 18. My sonā€™s father was barely in the picture and I never received money from him. Ok Iā€™m lying I received a total of $30 in the entire 18 years, my husband and I supported him. Also, my son was never kept from has dad or the family, he loves with them now and has for four years now. My husband paid child support and wasnā€™t allowed to see his daughter without giving his ex extra money, $200 or more. When she was with us we made the best of it, we went places we went out and had fun. No matter how tight money was we still did it. Yes, we often made food at home and went to the beach or to a park. We also went hiking, swimming, camping and had bon fires. We bought things she needed, yes, WE and not once did I get upset that we did all that for her and not for the boys. The only thing that ever upset me was went he wouldnā€™t discipline her when it was necessary so we talked about it and he realized he still had to be a complete father. With this being said I donā€™t think it should ever be about what he does for his daughter. I think it should always come down to what is necessary for your child (children). I can almost guarantee that she feels the tention no matter how nice you may be to her. Trust me when I say I always knew how my dadā€™s girlfriend felt about me even as a very young child.

Get. Out. Why is this even a question? If you want the same support from him as he gives his daughter (petty asf considering sheā€™s a child) then leave and get child support. Boom. Now he can buy your infant a pizza too :woman_shrugging: unless you bitch a bout it. Then you might get the $209 and a cold shoulder

But is he paying all the bills at the house including utilities, phone and car ect? I mean if all his money goes to child support for his other two kids and hes footing the house bills what are you contributing? Seriously what are you contributing? Because if hes paying all the you may as well add all that up and dived that by the number of people in the house and thatā€™s what his contribution is for your childā€™s child support. Other wise you could leave and pay your own bills and only get a fraction of support because the Child support orders go first come first serve so the first one gets their cut right off the top then the second third and fourth get the rest.

If your gonna cry better make sure you got your ass covered and ducks in a row.

Unless yall have all these kids and shaking up in some relatives house.

Made yourself a mess of a bed now you lie down in it.
Probably shouldnā€™t have made children with a man who was struggling to provide for the 2 he already had šŸ¤¦

She seems jealous of the daughterā€¦ He had 2 kids before she came around ā€¦ She should accept he has other responsibilities and he should prove he cares by stepping upā€¦ They probably shouldnā€™t be togetherā€¦ Acting like children while raising them wonā€™t work

Yeah. Quit letting him reproduce.

You had a child with a deadbeat. With previous history of being a deadbeat. Irresponsible of both parties

You need to get educated on birth control before you have a bunch of kids with deadbeats who canā€™t afford child support.

Certainly donā€™t have any more kids w this selfish immature brat! U will never see the money u need to raise these kids now. Yikes!!

Sounds like a loser. Leave him and get child support. Sounds like youā€™re better off without him anyway.

You sound psycho. He is supporting his children and youā€™re jealous? Hereā€™s a suggestion, stop reproducing with a guy that canā€™t satisfy you! You have a 7 month old and youā€™re pregnant again? Thatā€™s your problem. He sounds like a good guy whoā€™s trying the best he can! But you seem to think he owes you everything! Youā€™ve been with him for 2 years and youā€™re on baby 2. Youā€™re the problem! Not him! Close your legs! Problem solved!

Donā€™t have children if you donā€™t want to provide for them. Once you have kids it is no longer about you and your wants. I would tell him to self reflect and thatā€™s on him for having so many kids.

You asked for positive advice. That tells me youā€™re not realistic about the situation and probably will ignore any good advice. You need to wake up!

Iā€™d be gone. No excuses. If he canā€™t be responsible, leave him and make him be responsible.

Also just a helpful tip I learned the hard way. If he doesnā€™t step up now, he isnā€™t going to. Donā€™t waste your time for almost 9 years like I did.

You can do it on your own. Your already doing it, if he isnā€™t helping you now. Trust me. Sticking around just so your kid has both parents isnā€™t always a good thing. A part of you dies inside slowly. It is not worth it.

I feel he should be paying half of everything he lives with you and it is his child . Juat because he had other children that is not your problem. He would either be paying half of everything or he would be leaving and Iā€™d go after child support. He is the one that keeps creating children and they need to taken care of equally

I agree, yet disagree in a way. Yes, maybe he should be helping more financially with the baby. But I wouldnā€™t say he is giving his daughter a ā€œtreatā€ when buying her food or something. If he gets her ONLY every other weekend, why not give her a treat and spend quality time with her when he actually has it? Does he pay other bills? I know my fiance and I have a system with our bills that works for us.

Also, how much do each of you make? In my household we provide what we can, when we can. Sometimes I support us when I get paid, and sometimes my fiance supports us when he gets paid.

If he is only providing 1 can of formula for the baby why have another babyā€¦ him providing financially will forever be an argumentā€¦ if he isnā€™t responsible enough to find it in him to put ALL of his kids first there is nothing you can say or do to make him changeā€¦ if it were me I would move on with my kids and file for child supportā€¦

I think something beneficial may be to write out a list of bills/ costs/ expenses and go over it together. Title it ā€œFamily Financesā€ or something so he knows he is as included as you. Then just do a split cost and tell him thats what he needs to bring in in order to keep the family going.

So does he not contribute to house bills? If so, then that is his ā€œsupportā€. He should def be paying 1/2 or more of the bills since his 11 year old lives with yā€™all.

I still donā€™t understand how ppl fight over money like thisā€¦ if he isnā€™t helping with any household bills, why are you having another child with him?

Sounds like you need some legal papers yourself for support.

I donā€™t think feeding his daughter should be considered a treat by youā€¦also you have zero business having a second child with someone who isnā€™t even supporting the first you had with him. I guess our good old government will have to step in if they already arenā€™tā€¦since you are not married.

Ask him the question would he like to be paying more child support for 3 children or pay child support for 1 and actually pitch in a little more for his other children . That bullshit I work hard for my money is just that BULLSHIT! Why should you be the sole provider when it took you both to lay down and make that baby :roll_eyes:

Does he pay the bills for your guys place or is it split? Reason I ask cause if you all are living together and he is paying majority of the bills then in a sense he is supporting your guys child. If he isnt helping out in other ways financially and leaving everything up to you including whatā€™s needed for the child well then sorry he needs to go. If your living single mys well be that

I really canā€™t answer this. Have you tried the WIC program. Go get help. Another thing you have to realize is if anything happens to the other childrenā€™s mother do you realize that your boyfriend then will be a full time father. Thereā€™s a strong chance of that.

Wowā€¦go and take care of baby on your own. When their is respect everything falls in place naturally concerning each otherā€™s feelings and necessities are always prioritized. Happiness is natural and constant, little bickering is normal. But he treats u like u dont matter and are there to bread, and do what he says by doing everything and all he does is lay with you. No no noā€¦ Iā€™d cut my losses. I need respect more than anything, he will never change.

Youā€™re not very smart, take him to court. You are not defined by anyone.

He needs to take care of all 3 kids and you knew he had 2 other kids when yā€™all got together and yes he needs to treat them donā€™t be a bitch!!

He shouldnā€™t be the only one having to provide for your children, if your child is only 7 months old and youā€™re already pregnant with another than I think instead of complaining about what he does with his other child you need to get on some form of birth control and figure out how to provide for your own children and stop putting the responsibility on just him

Heā€™s a deadbeat. He doesnā€™t respect you or your kids.
