Start being more independent!  Quit relying on him, get over it and show him that you don't need him in your life.  Show him you are capable and willing to raise your child on your own.  Basically cut him out of your life.  Remember any man can be a father... takes a Real MAN to be a DAD!

Run for the hills, your kids and you deserve betterr than what your man has to offer...lets say one day you make tons of money, do you want your man to leach off you the rest of your life. Your kids deserve the best in this world...life is precious, i commend you for trying so hard to live the American Dream...Ditch the zero and get with a hero!!!\n\nGood Luck, Jo Jo

maadidi, My little boy is 4 and he just recently started to become attached to his father. My husband and I have been separated most of his life. Just this past year my husband and I reconciled and my boy has become a daddy's boy finally. Only because he became a part of my sons like on a daily basis. We are now separated again but my husband see our children now at least every 2 days even if its just a few minutes. And he spends all weekend with them and me. Make a bigger effort to spend time with your son. Also you have to find out the things he enjoys and do it with him. Always make him the center of your universe. Good luck.

You are correct, a dad is more than a sperm donor.  We adopted a little girl when she was 6 months old and she knew right from the beginning that she was adopted.  I saw first hand how adopted and step children hate to be suprised by this knowledge later in life so i did not want this to happen to me.  If she is not very old then you need to be honest with her .  Honesty is the only way if you want to set a good example for her.

What do we do with Daddy?  Your moral obligation as a human being is to care for him "because he needs somebody to be there for him if something goes wrong"  and no, your future is not in jeopardy, you have choices, look for a better job there, then quit your job.  Maybe you need more education in your field so you can be  so called calling the shots.  \n  OR you could pack your Dad up and move him someplace like Orlando,, Tampa, Charlotte N.C.  Job opportunities are really great there and he could probably offer a financial relief for you. Anyway Good Luck I feel you will do the right thing for you.

Although it's not going to be easy, it's time to have your son step up to the plate of adulthood.  Make an appointment for him to meet with a recruiter from the Army/Navy/Airforce/Marines.  He will get good direction, an education, and with luck take responsibility for his life.  I know this isn't the best of times to join the service, but it doesn't sound like he's on a great path as it is.  Good luck, Mom.

From what you have said, I would say no.  If he can support your family adequately, then it's great that he wants you to spend time with your children.  There's nothing wrong with raising a family without having a career.  Most women think that this is the only way to have a family.  Really women who have the career as well as the family are similar to Wonder Woman.\n\nHowever, if you see other signs of controlling behavior than you may want to look at this a bit closer.  We don't know all of the details, so if he shows signs of other weird controlling behaviors than look into it.

keep your self fit and healthy make sure there is some fat in your diet - fat promotes sperm development\n\nsleep well and dont drink much coffee or alcohol\n\nkeep your boys cool and loose \n\nwhack off or have intercourse frequently to encourage turnover and get new sperm made but refrain for about 3-5 days before you want to work on conception

Indeed. But then again, it depends on if his children are already having a lot of terrible behavioral issues and if their mother is woman enough to try and be civil with the new woman in Dad's life.\n\nI don't instantly disqualify men for having kids, but I do dig a little deeper to find out if there are any red flags. There's no sense in getting invovled with a man with children if you're not going to be in it for the long haul.\n\nI believe that like women who are single moms, single Father's are a sacred thing. Don't start trampling on the hearts of our youth...that's a whole different kind of bad karma.\n\nbest of luck!

First make sure you take care of your child, set up regular visits and do what a father is supposed to do, when she sees she can depend on you to take care of your child she will be more likely to give you a second chance.

it depends on the relationship. if your happy and have done all your fun things and want to settle down than i think one is good for now. so you can get the feeling of how fatherhood is like and you must have a good job that's paying kind of allot. because babies don't come cheap! there is so much to learn when your a father. and is she the right one? do you want to spend the rest of you life with her and no other person? do you and her have a good relationship understanding each other?

i am assuming you're a guy here:\n\nyou're good with dad, not so much with mom. spouse, if you have... you will adore and love her. but your not so good with your kids, or they are finding it a bit hard undertanding you. but the guys will be okay with grandpa, and the girls will be okay with grandma. and you will have communication problems with your wife and kids.\n\nthere is a tendency to move around whether it is job or just having a vacation... you love to travel.\n\nyou are better doing illegal (not necessarily drugs or gambling, but can denote untaxed) businesses or those that doesn't have taxes, or just aren't registered. you are good as a leader like the army or military; you are good as a leader but not those managing money for profit, and you do not want to be restricted by superiors.\n\nother people have difficulty in appraching you because you might be a bit too strong for a personality, that they may fear you, including your wife and kids, keeping grievances inside.\n\nyou are doing okay right now. but you need to save for the future, as your luck is diminishing. but it will still be good until 38 - 39 (age). from 40 to 49, you be careful from back stabbing people or accidents. then life will be good again from 50 onwards.

You do have rights, where do you live, would assist if local. If money is holding you up in the battle, try locating a DADS or POPS in your area, I recommend DADS over Pops though. DADS can steer to to legal de facto or Ex Parte soulutions.

i would make time for the special olympics only once a year?  come on u make the call.  my kids are very special to me so i would make the effort to do what is right as a father.  i just went to my 4yr olds pre-school graduation and that was very special for me, and him as well.  when he seen me there he had a smile on his face from ear to ear.  he had a speech to say and he was having problems with, and once he seen me he did it without no problem.  so i think that it is very important for the fathers that are not in the home to be there for the kids.  and the fathers who are in the home as well.
