Hi there I'm just wondering if anyone has or is in the same boat as me
My baby's father split up with me the 4th September and it was alright at the start and now he's being so negative and trying to argue constantly about wee silly things that don't need to be argued about
He works 4 on 4 off so now back to work the way it works out is I'll take babu when he's working and I'll work round his shifts when he's off so he can take the baby but he'll text me saying he's not taking him because I don't start work till later that day and he'll pick him up in the morning baring in mind I've been doing half 6 starts in the morning.
I talk about coming down to my mums on Christmas Day for an hour or 2 to see our son open his presents but he doesn't want to be around me and doesn't see why we should do things together now and he insists in taking him Boxing Day instead.
Maybe I've just got the perfect image of a family and trying to co-parent ?
I try my best to make it work and give baby the best life with us being his mum and his dad not in a relationship way as I've now put into my mind we aren't together and not going to be together but he's acting so childish about things and trying to argue about the smallest things ?
What should I do as its very frustrating and making me stressed now when I can't rely on him all of the time to take our son or trying to argue and make wee silly comments any time he takes him. We both agreed to be civil and apologised to one another for the way we acted and how immature we were being but we are back to square one again and feel like we are never going to get along and I don't want that.
We were never in a bad relationship , we just argued when baby came and just unfortunately never worked out so I don't understand why he's trying to shut me out of his life now.
I know he's talking to other people and he told me the other day he's not moved on. Is he maybe just enjoying the single life as every 25 year old would.
Was he ever ready to settle down and have a family do you think ?
