The father of my child has contributed very little through out the pregnancy, at the start of the pregnancy we were together and he seemed supportive but gradually it's just faded away. He's paid for no more than 1 scan, has failed to turn up to any appointments, has said he will be at countless scans and only been to 1. After he has continually failed to show up in really any way I still said he is able to build her bedroom furniture after he has requested to. We scheduled a day and again, he didnt rock up. I asked him for money once to which he agreed to help me out and later retracted that. He doesn't ask if I need any financial help either. Today was the final scan, I told him about it, he said he would be there and didnt show up. My gut tells me to not allow him at the birth as I believe fatherhood starts in the womb, but there's also a part of me that thinks its harsh to deny him the opportunity to see his first being born. I dont believe he has earnt the right to be a part of something so intimate but also dont want to allow my disappointment and frustration dictate my decisions, opinions definitely wanted on this one please!!
