Seriously don't know what to think

After that whole crappy show the other day with tummy babies dad he came by today to grab some of his stuff , and talked to me ...

He was saying how he want to be there and be civil and see baby. He wants to be at the birth and see him . He also said he won't file papers in court and be nasty as long as I don't and wants us to file custody papers jointly , and agreed to pay 250 a month child support or the equivalent of that in stuff for baby and he's going to buy a new stroller and swing for him. He even hugged me when he left ?

He has done complete 180 , I don't get it . I don't know what I'm suppose to think. I'm gunna have to take a wait and see attitude and see what he actually does but seriously????? Wtf????

Maybe someone's had a word with him about how childish he was being and the fact he'd get nowhere in court so he best treat u with respect.

But yeah all u can do is wait and see. I hope he sticks to his word

I hope he does it would be better for baby if he did.

I don't know who would have talked to him he doesn't have a strong support system around him so don't know who would . Just keeping my fingers crossed he keeps his word .

I have not been on here since I was pregnant, about 3 years ago. I did not read your last post, but my first instinct: he's full of s*$t. Just from what you said here, he reminded me of my daughter's, "dad," who just signed away all his rights 3 months shy of her 3rd birthday. He did back and forth with me and ended up never paying a cent of any sort of child support.

I don't know exactly what your situation is, but take it from someone who has been there: don't let hope for family become his weapon against you. Being single and pregnant is a lot more devastating if you give away your dignity and play the fool.

I hope he sticks to it but in some way I'm inclined to agree with mamashakesit. I would just not agree to sign to anything until he lives up to his word xx

Don't trust him. Something is fishy here. People don't change over night. Just be very careful.

ha FOB said this to me too, he was arrested for DV when LO was 1. Hes not allowed to contact me apart from through my solicitor. so he spoke to her & told her that he would pay £120 a month & buy her any shoes she needs and 2 packs of nappys a month.. so in the last 16 months ive had £140 off him & thats it :/

dont believe it until you see it! xxx

Seeing is believing, in this case!

Just keep an open mind. Let him prove himself. He needs to man up and be true to his word. If he gets flaky, don't give him another chance after that.
