To want help with my child?

[racquel86]

I work 34hrs a week, I pay for the nursery - 4 long days a week, I work shifts and occasionally have to work weekends (obvs nursery cant help me here) my partner is off but saying I might have to ring in sick as his family (who are a Jeremy Kyle special to say the least) won't help him with childcare..... I won't get paid if I ring I sick! I do everything for this little girl, she is my world..... I feel so let down that I'm doing my best for her and being stabbed I. The back at the same time!
Sorry this is just a massive rant

Your previous post told you how useless he was but you didn’t engage with anyone because I expect you’re in denial.

He’s a crap dad and lazy partner and you know it.

Oh, I see he was doing this in September and deliberately going to work on his days off so your DD being ill was your problem.

Sack him off and take the maintenance payments. You might as well be a single parent.

I don’t understand why he needs help?

Is he disabled or something which means he can’t physically look after her?

His family are not the problem, it's him. I bet they're refusing to help because they think why should they when he can do it?

What would he do if you just went to your weekend shift? Would he step up and care for her?

Also, does he work Monday to Friday? If so why isn't he paying his share of childcare? (And if he doesn't work you shouldn't need nursery).

Your partner, her father, is responsible for her care when you're at work and he's not. You need to make that clear or make him an ex partner and pursue him for proper child support to help cover babysitters for those hours.

He should also be contributing to nursery costs now.

Until you realise what a shit parent he is for not being able to care for what sounds like his only child you are being a fool. His family could be mad axe murderers and it still wouldn't solve your key problem here.

You didn’t have a child with his family. You had one with him. He’s the only problem. What are you going to do about it?

My husband and I split childcare costs. He has one day off with with DC and I have another. I don’t understand why your DP would need family members to help him….
