LONG but well needed to be vented about 💆🏼 Soooooooo. I’m really pissed off and have been for a while. I’m about to give birth in a few weeks and my SO has still not bought anything (really important) for the baby. Only a couple outfits and 2 pairs of shoes. That’s it. Mind you, he’s the only one working. Let me explain. So before getting pregnant I was a full time college student and I didn’t have bills so I focused 100% on school, was not expecting to get pregnant. I worked only in the summers and on breaks. Then I got pregnant. At the time, I was receiving unemployment because I was wrongfully fired from a previous job (long story). So I was good for a while, every penny of mine went to the baby. Then around 5 months pregnant I started applying everywhere to attempt work for the last 5 months of pregnancy, but of course no one hired me. So I just used all of my money on things my little girl needs. After I ran out of money, my family was so generous and tons of help and literally paid for whatever I couldn’t (BEYOND THANKFUL FOR). So all together, me and my family bought her clothes, diapers, wipes, bottles, bibs, wash clothes, blankets, receiving blankets, bassinet, crib, travel set (car seat and stroller), sleeper, playard. Meanwhile all he has bought was a couple of outfits and 2 pairs of shoes. He’s been promising to pay for the swing, car seat cover (no hate please, I know there’s lots of mixed feelings of those), and car seat insert to support her head. He has been promising these since I was FIVE MONTHS pregnant, keeps saying “next week” and that week never happens. Mind you he makes about $2000-$2500 a month. Yet all of his money has gone to accessories for his truck like decal stickers, seat covers, tail lights, fancy grill, new tail gate, bed cover, tool box, wheel turner thing, hitch (NOT NEEDED), hitch lights, license plate covers, I can literally go on and on about everything he’s bought for that truck. Which I had no issue with for a while now til recently, since I am about to give birth and he’s still yet to help me buy anything and when I bring it up he gets so mad at me and yells at me for and says nothings needed. Like he hasnt helped with anything. Me and my family have bought it all. Which is wrong because he should be the one helping me, not just my family. And this entire pregnancy he’s promised to take a month off of work to be there and help me with the baby for the first month. Now he’s only taking 2 weeks. (Still grateful) but just angry because he promised a month so long ago and just now tells me only 2 weeks (paid). Mind youuuuu, he doesn’t have bills other than his truck which he makes PLENTY in 2 weeks to pay for it, so the other 2 weeks that won’t be paid for, wouldn’t be any issue for him. I’m angry about this because his job, he works different hours, sometimes ALL day long so I will be alone all night (because he will refuse to get up to help with the baby, yes, he’s told me this), and all day long just by myself. I just really feel like I’m a single parent and he’s just able to live his life and I’m just struggling so badly... I cry everyday because I want to work when she comes so I can support her but I can’t because his job works so many different hours. But I know he won’t help pay for anything when she’s here either... also, he demanded he’s claiming her on his taxes, which means all the money meant for her, will be his and he was saying he’s gonna buy so much stuff with that money like a truck cap and new tires... I wanted that money to just be for my baby.. I wanted to keep some to buy her more clothes and whatever’s needed at the time and then put the rest away to save for her. But I literally have no say 😔... I love him but all of this is pushing me away from him so bad

Ok end rant 🙁
