My fiance thinks baby gift cards are for him to spend on himself: Advice?

Are you kidding us…I never heard of that. He should be thinking of you so that’s not a good sign. Hes being selfish!

I pray for you​:pray::pray::pray: Because that’s some Bs & your soon to be husband is full of shit for even thinking them cards is for him & not y’all as a unit or for the baby​:woman_facepalming::woman_facepalming::pensive:on top of that fact he still want you to pull a magic trick out your ass to pay half the bills while on maternity leave…

Sorry - I’d be having that baby by myself. He sounds like a selfish AH…

Sounds like a toxic relationship and he seems very selfish

Just leave the bum as fast as you can. He thinks only of himself. That’s about it.

Girl…you need to run! Run like your on :fire:!

Get away from him tell his boss what he wants to do go live a happy life with your baby they are not for him alone

I can go both ways - the cards were addressed to both of them (so she says) so the intention was to use them for the two of you, supposedly. Although technically they’re from his boss, meaning him working and doing a good job (because why else would he get the generous gift) is the reason he got them in the first place, so I see his side in thinking the baby one is for the baby and the others are for whatever, otherwise it would have just been a bigger buy buy baby card. Doesn’t matter anyway because money has to be spent on the baby eventually so it’s either via the gift cards or money that would be spent at the places the gift cards are for, so it’s all moot. And no? When you first have a baby not every meal has to be delivered :roll_eyes: she sounds like she thinks all the food ones should be for her, so fine she has the food ones, give him the Amazon and visa and call it a day. Saying “I bought all the baby stuff - but he paid me back half”, means you did not buy all the baby stuff - most likely because you had a preference as to what to get and he dgaf. Women often feel entitled because they have the baby, it’s weird. I think there are A LOT of missing pieces to the story, we’re only hearing one side… the side that wants the gift cards LOL

He’s showing you who he really is. Pay attention.

Oh mamas, you’re absolutely in the right here! Those cards are for you guys as a family and for the baby. Especially the baby cards clearly should be just for baby supplies. Also this worries me that he might withhold money from you in general wether that be in secret accounts or just flat out like what he’s doing here and not letting you use the cards. Especially when your gonna be the one home with your new precious lil one, while he’s out working.

You said your not married yet…you might wanna think long an hard about that. JS

What a treat for him bull**** !!! If it was given to the two of you for the birth of another child its not fun money the bills add up once the baby is here and it was not a gift for his children from a previous marriage. Sounds pretty selfish and your going to marry this guy and he is playing like this I hope you plan on keeping your own money come the marriage it will be a fun ride good luck!

I think you need to swap him in and tell the nboss how he’s acting you just had his baby so you are supposed to pay half the bills I think you should tell him to catch a fast moving train out of your life if you think it will get better your wrong

What an idiot! Run girl…forget his cards and rather get child support.

What kind of relationship are y’all in. You say fiance like you’re going to marry him. Maybe you should’ve waited to have a child with him. Call me old fashioned but when I got married and had a baby everything was ours. There is no more mine and yours. We are a team. A family. That goes for all kids before and after. There is no half of bills. It’s all ours. What happens when u can’t pay your half?? Thats ridiculous.

Call and tell his boss!! Lol

On a real note, he not ready for this. Girl not sure how much time you have left, but you need to find a safe space soon.

I can only imagine the emotional abuse you will endure while trying to recover, and I am assuming he will not be of any help when the baby gets here and you’re going to need it.

Listen to all of us mama’s we know.
I wish I would’ve listened.

He will have big jealousy issues over the baby. The signs are there.

Stay safe.

Kick him to the curb and get child support. If he wants to use one of the cards for him and his kids ok but the shower was for YOUR baby. It is for you both to use. If he can’t take care of you while you are home taking care of his child …well.

I don’t care for how he says his family and your family . Will he always be that way ? Do u really want your kids to live like that ? Just in my eyes , I’d leave .

When I had my baby shower for my oldest daughter I received $125 as well as some very nice gifts. I knew when I went home with cash that it would not be spent on the baby, but would be spent by my then husband on God knows what. Before I drove home 2 hours south my mom and I went to the Carter’s outlet store and spent it all there. As I predicted he was pissed I spent it.

This is why you don’t give husband priveleges to non husbands.

I think you should run from that relationship… he sounds like a selfish inconsiderate prick

His previous MARRAIGES? Oh boy take yourself out of there girl! Your life will be better without him

oh boy…want some cheese with that wine? Grow up, you can cook gasp after having a baby. In fact, some women even clean house!

You better plan on getting child support out of this dude…and don’t ever, ever have another child with him because he is a perpetual child himself.

Write the boss a thank you note for JUST the ones the B/F gave you. Let him explain to his boss why you were not given all of them.

Baby gifts are for the baby. Doesn’t matter if it’s a gift card or a onesie.

Wow…you dont haveuch of a partner…sounds like a true narrsasistic asshole…the gift cards are for the babies needs, the food should be shared equally.

his seems like a bitch wouldnt you want to use all you can on the baby so its not to hard when they get here there something wrong with here and why do yal have to pay eachother back for what you buy for your guys baby thats strange

His previous marriages and this behaviour are huge red flags. Now a baby is involved. You’re here asking for an answer you already know. Is this how you want your life to be? He isn’t going to change, they never do.

What kind of family did he have growing up? He may be handling this just like his daddy did and thinks it’s normal.

You need to run from this selfish man will never get better or go to counselling and sort himself out

NO they are not!!
How/why would/could he EVEN think this???

Hell no. I would leave now before the baby comes. It will be much worse after. Been there done that.

Don’t marry him. He is selfish. The gift cards are the least of your worries.

Kick his ass to the curb, along with the gift cards, so his kids from his previous marriage can be there to help him sit on the potty in his aging years. You’ll be busy living your best life with this baby. Things will get worse when this little one arrives, and doesn’t need the poison that your drinking.( same goes for the other kids) Get out and far away.

Wow, what a selfish human being. If he’s like that about gifts/money, how do you think he will be about considering yours and the babies needs when they are here. I’d seriously be reconsidering marrying such a person. It shouldn’t even need discussion to know that the gift cards are for you as a family to help you while you have a newborn. Who does he think he is. Fuck. All he did was impregnate you. At the end of the day, you have to do everything! You have to carry the baby for 9 months, then give birth and then care for you and your baby after birth - hes not considering you or your child’s needs at all. Sorry - gone off on a tangent - but you get my drift. He sounds like an absolute self centred c*nt

Leave this fool. He obviously doesn’t care about you’re well being during the most intense time that you need a partner there for you. And he’s being unreasonable and a jerk. Do not marry him. If he wants to act a fool don’t let it be on your time, money or health.

Wow, this guy is going to be a GREAT Dad :woman_facepalming:t4: Already acting selfish AF. PLEASE do not marry this dirtbag!!! “Previous marriages” = he’s already screwed up this matrimony thing multiple times. Those women got real sick of his :poop:.

Take the cards, ditch the baby daddy. Maybe let his boss who gifted the cards know that he thinks they’re for himself to dine out alone while u struggle to buy formula and feed urself. His previous kids have a mom and if they’re still alive, there’s good reason to suspect she is capable of feeding them. Gift cards do not equal child support loser. He needs to grow up and get a set because it is not urs, ur baby’s, or his bosses job to keep him swimming luxury for free. He has a job, he can spend his PAY CHECKS on his children and give the gifts sent to their intended recipient. Nobody is going to reward his hard work of getting laid, nobody is going to deny u ur needs for the crime of baring his child. If he wants to be all “But its Miiiine :persevere::sob:” then he is too damned childish to be a proper dad to ur baby or the previous kids. She left him for a reason. Don’t be a doormat.

You really have to ask for opinions? Honey, go back and read what you wrote and pretend it is someone else, what advise would you give? Run like your butt is in fire and torment is catching. Get rid of his toxitity before it rubs off in your child. Wait till he is asleep and take all the gift cards. If he says anything then call his boss and ask him what the gift cards were for!

Would his boss give him those gift cards if you were not pregnant? If they were addressed to both of you, why would he believe that the visa cards and restaurant cards or for him. Call his boss and thank him for the gift cards and that Her husband will show you pictures of what your card was used for. Congratulations and if he’s your fiancé and does not want to give his child the best, kick his ass to the curb.

He’s definitely in the wrong.

Take the profound advice repeatedly being given here.

HE IS NOT A GOOD MAN. RUN!

Apply for child support and don’t expect anything more from him. You’ll only be disappointed and hurt.

I know it’s easy to say and hard to do but you deserve better.

Your child deserves to be raised in a loving environment and this guy isn’t going to provide that.

He’s Toxic.

He is a selfish bastard. Of course the gift cards are for you and the baby’s needs. ( And him if he were man enough to support you and the baby and contribute to the family). So sorry, but he is a dick.

Theres a lot wrong in this. 1) he is wrong to spend any on his other kids if its for your baby, 2) you dont HAVE to give up 6 weeks of pay to have a baby. Should he expect u to pay the bills for it all, no, but you also could take less time so yall dont struggle financially (im sure I’ll gt hate for that but maternity leave is a luxury not a requirement) Im petty af tho n would call his boss n thank him for the baby card n if he mentions the others say he kept them…prolly shouldnt listen to me tho :laughing:

Sounds like a very unhealthy relationship. Best to leave him now vs trying to make something work out that never will. He’s a selfish jerk. Run fast!!!

If you have the bosses number i would text or call and let him know what your fiance did, he may be a nice enough man to reprimand or give you some gift cards to help you out since you finance is a selfish little narcissistic cunt. ask your parents for help if you have a good relationship with them and break off the engagement it will only get worse and the child will see his behavior as right and treat you like trash
