So, baby dad picked up my daughter (3 months old) tonight as he does every weekend. He said he wanted to talk about putting a formal “child support” plan in action. So far, he put half towards baby things before she was born but hasn’t paid anything regular since she was born. I haven’t asked for anything, but he transfer a large sum of money into my account at random at around 4 weeks old. I know that I can’t depend on this man for anything, and that’s why I haven’t bothered to ask for child support; he left me in the worst possible situation already, I’m not going to put myself in that position again.However, I was feeling nice today so heard the man out (and even made him a cup of coffee, he normally doesn’t get through the front door!). He outlined what he thought was reasonable to pay weekly given his wage and his own circumstances and detailed how he wanted to make it official in writing. Okay, not a problem. Legally binding contract means that if he doesn’t pay up, I take him to court. Then… THEN… he has the cheek to say “I want to see receipts though. I want to know that you’re spending my money on our daughter and not getting your hair and nails done on me.” THE ABSOLUTE GALL OF THIS MAN.This man wants to see receipts? He wants a run down of my finances and what I spend my money on? This man that picked up and left mid way through my pregnancy still wants a say on what I do with my money? It’s not as if I get my hair or nails done anyways, like I did it whilst I was pregnant or before I was pregnant. I used to get them done for special occasions or as a treat. I don’t do that shit because I can’t afford that shit. How he didn’t leave my house wearing that cup of coffee is beyond me.So, no longer feeling nice, I not so politely told him to shove his money up his arse and that I don’t want it. I told him he was an unreliable, flaky piece of shit that I couldn’t depend on to save my life. I may be struggling for money right now but I would rather struggle than accept his money on his terms and depend on him again. I then suggested if he wanted to contribute to his daughter he should deposit the money into a bank account for her, for when she turns 18. I don’t want a penny of his money if he’s going to use it against me.God. I am so angry. I love my daughter to death, but I wish literally any other man on this planet was her father than that waste of fucking space.Also, my step father has told me that I was stupid and should have taken his money. He thinks that I’m over reacting. So, I guess I’m here to ask that (but mostly here to rant about that piece of shit that impregnated me). Am I over reacting? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2VLU7gl
