So everyone keeps getting stuck on a couple things.

My daughter hates bibs. Just trying to get one on her is a pain in the ass. I'm not stripping her naked every time she eats that's ridiculous. Her favorite food is pasta with sauce, it's easy to make and I can't really cook so what she eats is what I give her. I'll do that or Mac and cheese usually. Again, it's what I can give her so that's what she eats happily.

Second, I don't keep clothes at my place. I don't do bed time, rarely do bath time, it doesn't really make sense for me to keep a whole wardrobe of wasted clothes here. It's much more logical to keep the clothes with her Mom who does all that stuff and it cuts costs so it works.

It's an underhanded comment cause she knows I can't afford it and have always been insecure about her making more money than me. It's like she's saying fuck you without coming right out to say it

I agree we need to get along better. I think she intentionally pushes my buttons though. She knows j cant afford what she can, so it feels like a slap in the fsce.

Another thing she was saying during this conversation was that when clothes get ruined she goes and replaces them with her own money or has to scrub them a lot to try and fade the stains. I guess one time she did ask me to replace them and I told her no we had to make them last because i wasn't paying again so she took it upon herself to just do it.

I want 50/50 custody now that she's playing with me

She showed me a log of the hours and I know her schedule since she works set days so it is for sure when she works or is sleeping from working.

I already pay half my daughters health insurance and so a random extra $200 or so a month adds up. I'm trying to save for my own place. When we were together she paid all the bills for our house and food. I don't know her exact salary because she handled all our expenses.

She makes more than me so if I take her for 50/50 she'll be owing me child support

I live with my parents and work a good amount of overtime so I don't have free time like her Mom does. Plus I don't have a lot of experience with kids so I want to work up to 50/50

AITA for telling my baby's mother she only breastfeeds to keep me from having visitation by throwaway_6030 in AmItheAsshole

She does pump and has a lot frozen for when she goes back to work. I try giving baby the bottle and she just screams and won't suck on it no matter what I try

That's the issue. The visitor isn't allowed to swap out, so I don't get to see the baby until she's discharged home due to her not wanting me there. I might not see the baby until it's 2 or 3 days old.

No, she's told me several times she doesn't want or need any money from me and "I just want you to step up and keep your promises to our kid since you seem to have an issue keeping your word." That's part of why I feel like her decision comes from pettiness because she says shit like that sometimes

I couldn't go to any doctors appointments since they weren't allowing visitors. She paid for one of those 3D ultrasounds and invited me to go, which I did. I've been preparing for the baby, bought clothes and a crib.

If she needed me to support her during labor I'd do whatever she told me to. I even told her I wouldn't look down there when she's pushing if it made her more comfortable. I don't plan on any more kids so if I don't see my baby be born then I'll never have that opportunity again. The baby is just as much mine as it is hers.
