All about the father-son relationship

If your son and his dad are very close, you should be happy, because the father plays an essential role in the development of your child's masculine identity.

  • Every little boy sees his daddy as a hero he wants to be like.
  • This identification with his dad helps your child build his own identity.
  • A father who is present and invested in his child's education will also help him gain self-confidence.
  • The father-son relationship is built every day, from the first bottle to important events such as sports competitions and birthdays.

So y’all, quick vent... So basically my ex (child’s father) of 2 years just finalized our relationship because he said for the past week it’s been arguments and he didn’t feel respected or heard. I felt so bad because naturally I would want to be my mans peace and his feelings mean everything to me, my hormones been out of thwack from the stress, discomfort and anxiety . So I apologize, acknowledged my wrong doing, and said I would work on it and to please be patient with me. I pleaded with him cause I also wanted my son to have a chance of growing up in a two parent household. Long story short, he said that he’s not a one woman’s man and the only way we’d get back together is if I allow him to sleep with multiple women and I can’t get behind that and he knew from the start I was strictly monogamous. I told him in the past that my worst fear is becoming a single mother (I even opted for an abortion if he felt like this was going to be the case) and I feel like he used that to his advantage to try and fulfill his sick fantasy. He picked having multiple women over ensuring our son the best future. And for that I lost all respect for him. He decided to lay this on me 2 weeks before I have to give birth and just when I felt all that needed to be done is to prepare for the arrival of my son, I have to worry about how I’m going to make it through as a single mother.

Single mother is better than sharing what should be just urs with so many others trust me u will be hurt, stressed and obsessive it will be so far in ur head it will make u go crazy bc he and his heart isnt here for u and not for ur son, its for other bitches and sluts and if he wants to get his dick milked that bad let him why tf he tryna set rules and shit, let me tell u why bc thats whats called narcissism and gaslightin. He thinks u will do anything cuz u cant without him and dont let him see that its true bc he gona fuck u up bad and i seen shit like this happen first hand. If he doesnt want u and only u throw him tf away cuz life is too precious and short and u gota love urself first. He will make u and ur baby miserable. Let him go cuz couple bitches in he gona try to crawl back right to u, and u do NOT let him have his way. He taking advantage of ur feelings and ur situation pls realize he doesnt give two fucks about u and its clear.

Do u have a place where u can go to? Like ur parents or grandparents? Or maybe a friends house? If u do, I would go there when he's not home, and call the cops and get a restraining order. Ik it's easier said than done, but that's why I'm saying to go when he's not home. Staying in that kind of relationship isn't healthy. For you or your baby.

Hi moms out there. I’m currently 12 weeks and 4 days pregnant but still having mixed emotions about having a baby. I’m in a great relationship with the father and I tried to be excited and happy about the pregnancy but nothing has changed and idk what todo. Is this normal? Will this feeling go away? He knows about this and it’s causing so much fighting which is making this so much harder to overcome. Am I wrong to think these things? And then one day be happy about the pregnancy then the next not really knowing what I want?

That I need to choose if I want the baby or not. And I keep telling him idk because I physically do not know! Idk if I’m scared or if something is just wrong with me. I have such a big family and have been an aunt since 7yrs old. I never really wanted kids I loved being one myself and being the crazy aunt that went along on trips. And then I met the love of my life and we just weren’t being careful and we got pregnant. I want to love this baby more than anything but I just can’t. I love him more than anything and I want this family to work but I’m not sure I can. How can a woman think these thoughts, like I love kids so much but why can’t I love and what my own baby?

I have a story you mommies on here n I need some good feed back. My story is that I was in a good relationship for 2 years wen I told him I was pregnant w my son. My so father wanted me to get abortion but I don't believe in that. My son father denied my son and didn't want to help w my son. So I been on my own raising my son by myself. My son father put his hands on me in front of my son n kept saying my son was not his. I did cheat n took care of my son and home. My son father choked me out to the point I couldn't breathe. I put my son father on a straining order and child support. Now this man was to see my son n this man have not been in my son life n can't even buy milk or pack of diapers for my son. My son is 4 years old and I been raising my son by myself and I took my son to every single doctor appointment and school and birthdays n trips. I'm the only parent my has n I take good care of my son. My son is my world n soul. I will protect my son no matter what..

I'm in this space in life where I'm very proud of myself. I know this is my first pregnancy that I'm caring to fullterm. I've had three miscarriages before while being in an abusive relationship. I'm pregnant now feeling peaceful and I'm growing even though the father isn't around. It's like I'm living in the opposite spectrums. I really don't know how far I am. I start showing in the matter of weeks once I knew that I was pregnant and gained my belly weight. I've been alone in pregnancy I'm glad I found this app

Oh girl, I am so sorry to hear that. I'm in a semi similar boat, baby daddy has a gf and doesn't want to admit the baby is his. And I walk about 45 mins to work as well. But I want you to know I got you and you are not alone. They say it takes a village to raise a child so find your village and hold onto them! You got this!

Sooo the father of my child and I were together off and on for 5 years, things were rocky in our relationship and we broke up, a couple weeks later I found out I was pregnant, he was both verbally and physically abusive towards me and tried to kill me, and basically said he wanted me to have an abortion, so I ran away and told him I got an abortion when I was about 2-3 months pregnant, obviously I lied, I don't believe in killing babies, now I'm 32 weeks and he doesn't know he has a baby on the way, I think about calling him sometimes, idk what to do

Don’t call him I know it’s easier said than done but if he put you in a situation where he tried to kill you and your child that’s not acceptable. GIRL you can do this if you truly want your baby to have a better life than that stay away ! I’m so sorry that you are going through this.
