Sad/disappointed :/
So I'm currently 20 weeks along due in February. I'm only 18, my boyfriend is 21. We've been dating for 2 years and he has a son from a previous relationship who is now almost 2 1/2 years old which I'm totally cool with and I love this little dude a lot.
So ever since I got pregnant my bf has been changing the mood a lot. He goes from being the sweetest person on earth giving me back rubs and massages and rubbing my bump talking to our baby to being very moody the next day quickly. Which is okay I know he's in a lot of stress because he's moving to a different apartment right now and has just begun his new job 2 months ago still getting used to everything so I get he is stressed out sometimes and it's okay. We have been split up for 2 weeks at one point and are now taking things easy and slow. I'm not moving in with him anymore and we don't see each other as much anymore but talk and text every day. He often asks how I feel and if there's anything new about the baby (like when I started feeling movement or if I started showing more and asks for bump pics if we haven't seen each other for a while) but he does not care at all about the baby purchases I make. I told him the other day that I was on my way to a baby store to go buy the stroller I've laid my eyes on hoping he'd ask me which one it is or anything like that. He just simply said "okay". Didn't bother asking if I got what I wanted or what I got in particular. He doesn't seem to care at all. Same goes with any other purchases. I'm all alone in this whole baby shopping thing. I'm not demanding money since I know he's got a lot on his plate with the renovations and rent for his new apartment right now but I wish he'd care more to at least get a little something for our son. I would be so happy if he would just get a onesie or a sleeper he likes, just something that HE picked, that HE wants his son to have. I always inform him when I plan to buy something hoping he'd get interested in it but he can't be bothered at all I feel and it makes me kinda sad because I feel like I care a lot more about our sons things than he does. I want him to have nice clothes, a good stroller that will last us for a while, a nice looking safe car seat, a cute crib and bedding and in general all things nice and just want to make sure he has everything that could be needed.
I feel kinda left alone in this whole thing when it comes to buying things and deciding about what items to get as he doesn't bother to ask me any questions at all about those things.. What he does care about is his sons name but that's pretty much the only thing that I'm not left alone in to decide about.
Any advice? Or is this normal that men just don't really care about what kinda stroller their baby is in and what kinda crib and bassinet he will sleep in? Don't wanna sound stupid as my pregnancy hormones probably make me all the more emotional and sad and frustrated about things
