Hey ladies, I have a few questions!
For anyone still in contact with FOB or lets them see your LO, what kinda of regulations or rules do you have set up now or when baby arrives? Or are you not going to have him involved at all? Are you planning on getting child support?
Also, are any of you planning on having him at the birth or visiting you afterward?
For me, I'm about 80% sure I'll be the one cutting off all contact once Beanie arrives. It's been 6 months with nothing but stress and anger. The letdowns and broken promises have reached an all time high and I don't deserve it and neither does my baby when they arrive. I've given him way too many second chances.
The reason I'm keeping contact with him is because of our prenatal agreement in which he's responsible for buying the crib, mattress, change table and travel system; he's also financially responsible for any of my prenatal needs, vitamins, clothes, etc. We have no agreement after that in terms of visitations or child support. Financially I'm stable and money is never going to be an issue, I figure once I get those four items I pull a disappearance act because raising a child isn't about money! (Though I am very, very grateful for his cooperation.)
I'm obviously not having him at the birth either.
It's hard to be strong about this now though! The minute I see Beanie, I'm sure I'll know exactly what to do.
