am I tripping or should he be helping me?

Question

my boyfriend has given me $130.00 thru our entire relationship. we live with my parents so we don't have major house bills he just got a decent paying job back in April although he has been employed our entire relationship and has bought us food here an there but our daughter turned 2 this past June and I'm currently 37weeks with baby #2 I can not get it thru to him that he should be helping me financially with diapers an groceries an such. I get so mad at him he makes me feel like we're a divorced couple I don't know what to do anymore he won't listen. but I can't stand the idea of us breaking up an hurting my babies.

Answer

He should be helping you.. especially for your kids. My boyfriend and I have no kids, and he still helps out majorly finically, on items like food, bills; etc. 🙄 It's one of those things you shouldn't even need to ask for.

Answer

This is what happens when you mooch off someone else. Since you guys don’t pay your way rent or utility wise, why wouldn’t he get a free ride from you, too? 
I think you should each have individual bank accounts, but get a joint you each put your food/child costs into each month. Equal amounts. Then pull from that when it’s a family expense.

Answer

You need to talk to him about this, its ridiculous to expect other people to pull your slack, especially when, you're an adult. I wouldn't think twice about leaving a grown with a job who, is refusing to support his family.  I don't know what your parents think but if I still lived at home and had kids, with my spouse, my parents would expect both of us to contribute to the household. Tell him to grow up.

Answer

Basically if he isn’t willing to help you can pursue the child support route. I don’t understand how a father can think he doesn’t have to contribute at all, it isn’t fair to you so you have to step up and find out ways you can receive assistance ASAP.

Answer

Just tell me what made u think getting pregnant while living with ur parents is a good idea ? Like really u should be getting ur own place and he should be helping pay the bills of course he’s gonna take a free ride why not , he lives with ur parents n having the time of his life not having to pay

Answer

I don’t think you realize how badly you’re being treated. You’ll never get ahead being with someone holding you back. It’s like you have three kids not two. You deserve a partner. Trust me I’m speaking from personal experience. I had to learn the hard way. 
Your kids are still young. If he’s not willing to man up and be a real life partner then find someone who will show your kids how a real man is supposed to act. That’s what I did. It wasn’t easy but they’re a lot older now and I can’t imagine how they’d be if I stayed with that jerk.

Answer

I see no reason why everything isn’t being split 50/50 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ $130.00? pshhhhhh

Answer

Seriously?
And you’re with him why???

Answer

You can file for child support without breaking up. Look into it, let him know you’re doing it, and maybe it will make him realize he needs to help. If it doesn’t send in those papers.
