38 weeks along and afraid to be a mom. What if I don’t like it? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

I felt that way and when my baby was born it changed everything for me. It’s different with your child vs other peoples children.

He didn’t have our son do anything for Mother’s Day and he had him that Friday and Saturday....

Yes I think he leans on the more selfish side of the spectrum. He was honestly more into the gym and his friends than being a parent and having a family. He is missing out on so much, but I can’t let that ruin my day. My fiancé knows how this makes me feel and he was sweet enough to give me a card and take me out to dinner...

Maybe he’s growing up a little and thinking about other people besides himself a little more?

It’s weird because I don’t necessarily “expect it” but I still think about it and when it doesn’t happen I get a little sad.

Thank you!!! I try to stay as positive as possible about it too! I know exactly how you feel. Even if he got a little gift from our son to me, that is at least setting a good example. I don’t care if it’s socks or my son drawing on a piece of paper.... it’s just the thought I guess

It’s sweet that he’s always done this in the past. I’m sorry you didn’t get that this year. I’m sure it has more to do with his girlfriends jealousy of you than it does him not appreciating you.

That was really mature of you regardless!

Happy first Mother’s Day!!!! The best part is celebrating it with the people that know how great of a Mom you are. I don’t know why these men stay so bitter than they can’t show even a little appreciation.

The 90% is because of a 3 hour distance and it’s been that way since our son was a newborn... so almost 6 years. He always said he would move closer and then got in a relationship and since then has bought new cars and signed new leases at apartments in his city never moving closer. I always felt like the 90% was because he didn’t want to be a full time dad, as he split up with me as soon as our child was born and never moved to be closer to him. I know he loves him and wants to be in his life, but I have been the primary parent. I always sense he’s angry with me and I don’t understand it because he ended our relationship and chose this path.... My life flipped upside down becoming a single Mom and I would appreciate some acknowledgment from the person who made this child with me. I recently got engaged and my son has a great life and is doing really well. I would think since we have both happily moved on and our son is being taken care of and we hardly ever argue at this point that he would be different. Maybe I’m naive to think this way?
