Sometimes I feel ignored due to my boyfriends child: Advice?

Child comes 1st regardless. No offense but if you can’t handle that its best to leave now. A good man puts his kids first and does not have to have a woman to help him care for his child. Just my opinion.

I think you would probably be better off dating someone with no kids. For his sake, your sake and the kids you should break it off. His kid should always come first and honestly that should be a quality you look for in a partner…in my opinion you should let him go so he can find someone who will respect his lack of communication due to him being with his child.

You don’t want a man that puts anyone or anything in higher priority than his own children.

Find you a man without kids. You sound selfish and childish. As a mom I can tell you…my kids come first before some guy. If you want to date someone with kids…you need to let him have his dad time and find something that you can do while hes with his kids.

Yeah… You shouldn’t be dating someone with a kid if that’s how you feel. Kids are work and if you can’t understand and respect that, it’s not for you.

That doesn’t make you a bad person but it makes you someone who isn’t ready for that type of relationship. It’s too soon into your relationship to know the kid yet because they’re so young.

Him not giving you a gift though is a slacker thing on his part. He should’ve but that you didn’t want a gift in return but felt slighted says you actually did want one. That’s something you communicate to him and lay out holiday expectations if you should continue the ship.

It’s hard to be with someone who has an already made family. If you are feeling ignored now. Just wait till you move in and his child comes to visit. That’s his kid. You are over thinking it and at an immature level. Get out now and find d someone with out kids.

Its very selfish to think he needs to give you a ton a attention when he has his daughter. Hes being a father first. I’m a single parent and you have no idea the amount men who lose interest because my kids come first. The holidays are crazy and busy when you have kids. He probably didn’t intentionally not give you anything. If you can’t handle the situation, I’d leave and find someone who doesn’t have children.

Why would you want to be with someone who would put someone before their children? He is honoring the responsibilities that come with being a parent, that is a great quality to find in a man. If you don’t see that and can’t handle it, you need to find someone childless. It speaks to your immaturity that you would even consider leaving a man who has his priorities right.

His child will always come first but there is a such thing as balance. You should talk to him about it.

He’s giving his kid his time, that’s something special. That should be something you look for in a partner.
If you don’t understand it then you should probably break up with him.

So you need to leave him and let someone else have him. You seem selfish. I’m sure if the roles were reversed you would give more attention to your own child then a boyfriend too. A child always comes first and if you cant handle that then you need to get with someone who doesnt have a child. Also with the Christmas thing if you weren’t expecting anything in return why are you mad he didnt get you anything.

It shows he’s a great dad but he should be able to manage both things. When having his daughter and being able to still have a relationship with you from afar. He could easily be sending you pictures of what he’s doing or saying watching a movie with my daughter or whatever. It really doesn’t take much to still communicate and love your SO while spending time with your child. Including you will help not only you two to keep and grow a relationship but will help for you to grow a relationship with the child. Maybe instead of seeking attention from him while he’s with her maybe ask little quick questions about his daughter and him. Like how is she doing today and etc. let her in your heart and he will find more ways and time to include u.

I do agree with everyone that the kid comes first, but at some point during the time he has his child he should have a minute to respond back to her, as for the no gift for Christmas that’s kinda sad, you’ve only Been with him for 10 months he should of gave you a small gift. I don’t think he’s ready for a new relationship and your not ready for this one.

If you feel that way now leave. When a person has a child you have to allow them to be a parent to their kid. This means sacrificed time and more. You have to realize people’s kids are #1 priority and should always be.

His KID comes first! Quit being a kid yourself. If you can’t accept the fact that the kid comes BEFORE you…move on to someone WITHOUT kids

Oh honey. You need a hug and a reality check. You should be so thankful he is an attentive dad rather than a deadbeat ass. You need to put on some big girl panties and learn to be involved with him and his kid if you want to stay in this relationship. But I respect him more for being a good dad than a over eager boyfriend. You got yourself a man and not a little boy. So stop being whiny and grow up

Kids come first and since you’re acting like one I’m assuming that’s why you think that should apply to you :joy::woman_shrugging:t2: Who even counts this as a relationship issue/problem?!

His child comes first. He is respecting you by showing you all of the attention you need when he’s with you. You’re expecting too much from him when he has his child. It’s not a competition for attention and time. Dont make it one.

As for the gift exchange, did you tell him you wanted to exchange gifts? Men can’t read minds. Maybe since you’re still early in your relationship he didn’t know it was something you wanted to do. Communication is key and so is comprehension. Talk with him.

He probable can sense your jealous and doesn’t want to deal with your bullshit. I would do him a favor and end it.

I think your being childish that is his child who I dought he sees every day sham on you

I think that yes he has to put the children first. It sounds to me that he is not looking for a committed relationship with you. If he is negletful and uncaring hes not that in to you. You sound like your ready for commitment but he is not

Everyone is hating on you because you are threatened by time with a child. And I would agree except you don’t have that perspective. If you’re not a parent yourself you might not understand it. And you say you try to give him his space. After 10 months he might want to start including you at certain times. Ask him if maybe you can join in and do a fun activity with him and his daughter maybe every other time he has her. Like a two-hour visit to Chuck-E-Cheese and you come to or a 2-hour visit to the playground and you tag along. This way you are not encroaching on all this time but you also get to see how he is as a parent and get to build a bond with his daughter. Is there a reason why he is keeping you separate from her? Is it in his agreement that he can’t have you around her?
You don’t have to feel guilty about your own feelings. If you need attention and you aren’t getting it it’s okay to feel that way but also like they’re saying oh, you need some perspective. He does not have his child all the time. His child should always come first and many people don’t do that. The fact that he is speaks highly of him. Maybe he’s not good at time management or balancing. I would sit down on a day where he does not have his daughter and express your desire to be part of his time with her. Make sure he knows it is not all of the time. Just once in awhile for a few hours would be nice. Also ask him is he can you please try to text you back when he has her at least by the end of the day just so you feel validated. He doesn’t have to drop what he’s doing and stare at his phone while he has his kid but a simple text message before the day is over would be nice. It’s a learning curve for him but also you. Doesn’t mean you have to end the relationship and it doesn’t mean either of you was in the world. Relationships require balancing.

I’m not trying to be rude, but his kid is 4… They still do require our attention and sounds like you have a bit of resentment.
