The past few days have been truely impossible. Im massively huge with my bump and have zero energy which means that ds suffers. I cant play with him the way i would like to and bathing him has become impossible. Ds has also been ill with croup, an ear infection, a viral infection and 2 teeth are coming through so there have been several sleepless nights. Me and the ex are just constantly fighting... He says that all i ever do is critocise but i just want him to pull his weight and help. whilst ds has been ill he has expected me to give him regular txt's and updates on how he is but has only once bothered to come over and help... and when he was here he spent the whole time complaining that was in pain because of his black eye and bruises from football. His stupid barbie girlfriend wouldnt stop ringing to find out how long he was going to be which really got on my nerves as ex was there to see ds, not me. I went out and got medicine and food supplies so that i would be stocked up for a bit and therefore wouldnt need to go out. the minute i got bk from tesco ex left to get bk to his precious gf. didnt even kiss ds good bye! I know people are going to say i shouldnt expect anything more from him but i do... im just so sick of coping with ds and pregnancy alone and then trying to keep up with uni. I find it so hard to deal with his new girlfriend. he is constantly trying to get back with me, has told me she is controling and that he's not that into her so why does he put her above his son and spend more time with her daughter than our ds?
I also came to the realisation that one of the reasons I left him was becuase he was so controling... however he is still controling what i do. telling me what i can and cant do. I just feel so week and the only person i had to support me has gone travelling in africa for 4 months.
Found out to day that my mums cancer isnt as simple as we thought in the first place and that she may end up having her facial nerve removed resulting in her losing the movement on one side of her face. he radiotherapy is being moved to a new time which falls just as im about to have my baby and so she might not be able to be at the birth. I dont really have anyone else. Im so alone and depressed and i just dont know how much more i can deal with. i know people dont come on here to her sob stories but im just totally lost as to where to turn. and instead of things getting better they're just gettiing worse.

me and ex have been at each others throats again the past few days. Apparently all i do is bite his head off. We have however agreed to meet up in a cafe at the weekend without ds and talk about all the problems and try and come to some sort of agreement about things. I dont know if anything will come of it but its worth a try. All i want is for his sometimes to pop round and do ds tea, bath him and out him to bed. would be lovely as i would get a rest and would be great time for them to bond as at the moment he doesnt spend any time alone with ds. his gf is always there.
I realised how drasticly different ex's behaviour has been since he got with his gf... i think she is very controling and this could be why the situation has become so hard. however it could just be that ex is a total knob!!! he had the cheak to tell me not to let ds burn in the sun yesterday... as if i dont know how to look after my son!

I hope the meeting goes ok between the two of you and you come to an amicable agreement, I wouldn't blame the gf for your ex's behaviour, if your ex wanted to spend more time with your child then he would no matter what she said

i supposse. He has has got his foot well and truely in the door tho. He is living with her after knowing her 5 mins... although he may have been seeing her before we split up i dont know. I think she does voice her opinion about him coming to my flat tho... i dont think she likes him being near me... as she is constantly calling him when he is here. ne whoooo i can only do what i can do so hopefully this talk will make things a little easier between us.
He was supposed to give me £30 for a car seat this weekend but has bailed out once again... some things never change, so my mum is lending me the money i need to buy it... baring in mind ds is 11 months old and should be in a proper car seat but im still carrying him around in the baby carryer which is really heavy and not too good when ur fat and preggers!!!
Have had an amusing disaster with a bottle of fake tan this afternoon and i look like i havnt washed for a month... just trying to scrub my legs to get it off. thank god i only did my legs... its looks hilarious.

hi hun i have experienced this sort of thing im pregnant too im 35 weeks now and mty babys dad didnt want to know after 12 weeks because he run into the arms of someone else scared but shes got a son whos one years old and she wants him to be her sons dad. when he come to the hospital the first time she was ringing and texting him she was well insecure but she needs to realise it aint him i want i just wanted him to be a dad but after 5 months of him not even asking how his child is growing he dont deserve to know my baby. It makes me mad that hes just sooo irresponsible, unlike your situation though he wont speak to me because she dont want him too, i hope one day it all comes bouncing back this man who says he wants you back then dont pay for car seat with yoou is irresponsible too!
