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

He’s being a Dad! You cannot possibly continue in the relationship if you expect to come before his child’s needs. My boyfriend has 2 children from a previous relationship and I understood from the beginning that they get the majority of his time. Now we have a baby together and he devotes time to her as well which I would expect. You won’t be happy in the future if you’re already feeling neglected because of his duties to his child. Maybe just find a guy with no kids, sounds like it would be better for your expectations

It blows my mind that I’m actually seeing a post about a father spending “too much time” with his child… like are you ass backwards? Idc if i sound mean but maybe you should re-evaluate if you’re mature enough to be with someone who has a child. You should be in awe watching the man you’re with interact with his child.

Im pretty sure he should leave you. You arent his mom, his child or anything of the sort. Your a girlfriend, dont like that his child has his attention you deserve to be alone. You need a reality check sweetie

Did it ever occur to any of you judgemental ladies that she probably doesn’t have any kids and doesn’t quite understand how much time kids take up?.. It’s a learning curve to be with someone who has kids if you don’t have your own. It doesn’t mean she’s a bad person. Guys go through the SAME EXACT THING if they are dating a woman with kids. They have to learn that she cannot dedicate all her time to him because her child(ren) come first. Y’all are a trip.

I participated in Christmas for my bonus daughter. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Family comes first. Try to be more understanding of that. Don’t be negative when a child is involved.

You have a ton of maturing to do before being with someone who has a child if this is your way of thinking…

  1. I won’t even entertain the idea of letting my children meet someone before at least a solid year…
  2. he has the child part time … of course he’s going to be wrapped up and soaking it all in
  3. you will NEVER and I repeat NEVER come before that child if he’s any kind of parent (which should make you want him that much more not be turned off by it)

Are you fucking kidding me??? I only read the first few sentences…he needs to leave you.

It’s actually a good thing that he puts his kid first. He’s a keeper! & yes, you may be overthinking it. Put yourself in his shoes and maybe you’ll feel more appreciative of what he’s doing. He may be the future father of your children.

#1 I think you and he have different ideas of your relationship. Sounds like he wants a more casual set up.
#2. KUDOS for him being a dad when he has his daughter. She should be his priority when he has her. Again, he would not want to confuse her by having another woman around her if there was not a commitment.
#3. It does not sound to me like you are mature enough to handle this situation. You can’t infuse yourself on her time and stake your claim.

Good on him. That’s a good father, unlike half of the walking deadbeats pretending they don’t have children. This shows that he’d be a good father to your children. I’d encourage this behavior. However, if I were him, you would of been left long ago. His kids come first. If you’re not ready to come second, date someone without kids. :woman_shrugging:t2::woman_shrugging:t2::woman_shrugging:t2:

And here I am trying to my kids father to her first. He sounds like a good dad. What are you really worried about here? My kid’s dad’s gf thinks he talks to me too much when he has our daughter and too much about our daughter and our baby on the way when he doesn’t when I just wished he’d go away. If it has to do with the child’s mother I kinda get it but not if he’s just focusing on his daughter when he has her. That’s just extremely selfish and he shouldn’t be with you if you want to take that time away from him.

Yes please end things with him. You are not ready to be in that type of relationship and I’m pretty sure he’s starting to figure that out. Know that you will never be his priority. I can only imagine if you have kids with him, how you’d compare the amount of attention he gives to your child verse his daughter. Do you know what he is feeling right now? Probably guilt for his daughter being raised in two different homes. Guilt not because he loves his ex, but seeing what this little girl has gone through. It’s ok to not be ready to be in this type of relationship. But it sounds like he hasn’t really brought you around his child much and with good reason if you are texting while he has her. Just know you are giving up a great father and person.

Well I think he needs to have a little respect for you…he could at least text u once to let u know he’s alright and he with his child…and 2 he could have thought enough of u to get u a gift for Christmas too…sound like hes all about getting and not giving …this is my opinion yall had yalls…there should be enough love attention for both if his ladies in his life

His time with his child is less than his time with you.

Respect it.

He gives you the attention you crave when he can, if you can’t respect his time with his child you need to go…treat it as if he’s at work and cannot respond. Kids demand their own time, it is not malicious to you or even him trying to ignore you…he’s just busy.

The last thing you want is a guy who ignores his child and spends all attention on you…would he do that at work too (text all the time)…if so that would be someone that would have a hard time providing any kind of life because employers don’t put up with that crap…and if he doesn’t do that at work too, but would ignore the child…is that really the kind of person you’d want to keep in your life and potentially do to any children you may ha e with him? I know I wouldn’t.

It is a sad day when you resort to social media for advise. If you play in the big girl league then be prepared to be dished a big girl game. NEVER EVER come between a parent and there child - you can be replaced but that child will always be in his heart. Pull the tampon out and yank up those panties if you want to play with the big dawgs.

This man has lost his child basically because of divorce. He should 100% protect his time with his child so that he/she feels loved, protected, and cared for by his/her father who is no longer around every day like it’s supposed to be. You need to realize that the child will ALWAYS come first and if you can’t accept that then you need to move on. The only thing that gives me pause about this is that he didn’t give you a card…was that this current Christmas after being together for 10 months or what? And honestly if you guys can’t talk about this stuff to figure out what you guys both want and/or need from the relationship, then it will never work. Again, I stress to you that his child will always come first and you have to be okay with that…if not then say goodbye.

He is your boyfriend you have not been together that long and his child comes first before anybody else not the other way around his child is his priority not you you are only his girlfriend not his wife. When he is with his child that’s his time to be with his child and you need to respect that you are not the center of his universe his child is and always should be. If he wasn’t paying attention to you at all no matter the situation then I would understand, but this is just childish he spends time with you when he does not have his child when he does have his child that’s his time with his child not you. Being a parent comes before being a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Are you overthinking this… umm youre being selfish. Dont date someone with a kid… you should appreciate the fact that he is spending time with his kid not texting your needy ass all the time.
Jump off your high horse and come down to the real world or date someone who does not have kids and can focus their attention on you 100% but that gets old fast. Good luck

Maybe you need therapy so you can cope with him having his priorities in check. His child comes first and YOU need to get over that.

Move on and find someone else, does he spend any time with you and his child together or does he always exclude you? Its reasonable to be upset with being excluded especially after 10 months. But then again parents do need that one on one time with their children. There should be balance.

I dated a guy like this… It’s your job to respect the relationship he has with his daughter. Don’t be selfish. I would go to my mans later in the evening, spend time with his kid and him and then go home the next day and live my life during the day so they could have quality time. I have kids though and understand the demand of responsibility that comes with them. You will always come second to his daughter and that’s how it SHOULD be. Not once did I EVER think to give a man first priority over my girls and not once did I have a man expect me to do so… If he did then I’d be leaving his ass. I will always put my kids before ANY man. You should be happy that he wants to be a dad to her because there are tons of sperm donors out there. Just goes to show that at the very least, in that aspect he has extremely good character. You need someone that doesn’t have kids.

He should end it with you since you’re immature still.

When his baby is with him ALL ATTENTION SHOULD BE ON THAT BABY! You will always be second in his life to that child and that’s 100% how it should be. More men should be like him. Instead of complaining stop trying to get his attention away from his child. Text him, say hi, good morning, whatever but if he doesn’t text back then get over it. If he only gets every other weekend then his attention shouldn’t be anywhere but with his kiddo who hasn’t seen him in 2 weeks.
Also, you don’t give a gift to get a gift. You sound like a petulant ungrateful teenager.

I get im not a mom so commenting is kinda off maybe. But I do have a boyfriend who has a 9yr old daughter. I 100% understand where your coming from. I deal with the same thing i have been for 2 years now. That being said. I also understand thag she was in his life before I was, and that end of the day i will always be #2 in his life and thats how it should be. So many times you see single mothers having issues with the father not wanting to be in the childs life. He wants to be in his childs life LET HIM and accept the fact there will always be someone ahead of you so to speak. What you described happens to me all the time and im perfectly fine with it. I understood from the begining that he was a package deal and that meant certain times his focus will not be on me and thats cool i want him to have a relationship with his child. I want him to have that bond with her. You need to grow up amd understand that you will always take backseat to his child and if you cant do that then your just wasting his time. Maybe find someone who doesnt have children and pray that if and when you do that you dont end up with someone with the same mentality as you because frankly your just being selfish. Again sorry if im out of line not being a mom and all but saw this and had to comment!
