Not telling the father about the baby is it selfish or ok moms choice?

Not telling the father about the baby is it selfish or ok moms choice?

Say someone gets pregnant and decides to not tell the father because they are not in a relationship. Whether it be just a hook up or they broke up then she found out she is pregnant. First let me say the father is NOT abusive or unfit to be a parent in anyway.

The mother just doesn’t want a relationship with him and doesn’t want to co parent so they choose to raise the baby alone and never tell the father. Is this wrong and selfish or ok because it’s the moms choice?

Should he find out he could take her to court for custody and I’m thinking he should be granted sole custody if her only reason is “he didn’t deserve to know” how do you deny a child a dad just for the hell of it? You could have done a sperm bank.This actually should be illegal. It should be plainly spelled out for these situations only. If the other parent is not abusive or a threat to mother or child.

The only time it would ever be justified in my opinion is for the safety of the mother (ex: abusive relationships, violence, criminal behavior etc). If the father is capable of looking after a child, then they should have the opportunity to be in that child’s life. It’s not so much about the mother, but about the child.

No the father had a legal right to know so you have to tell him

You MUST always tell the father!!!!!He is part of the child's DNA and has a right to know

This scenario is wrong and selfish.If he was abusive, unstable, what have you... Then I'd def be siding with 100% okay.

It's completely unfair to the father, but it's even worse for the child. Any woman who does that for any reason other than abuse is more than just selfish, she's cruel.

Yes because the baby is missing out on having a father in their life and what if that man wanted to be a father to the baby? The person denying him that right is cruel.

It's is most certainly wrong. He is that child's parent just as much as you are. Just because you(general not specifically you) and him are not in a relationship does not mean he is incapable of being a father and you have no right to hide his child from him. Now if he knows and doesn't want to do with the kid that's different.

A guy deserves to know he has biological kids. How would you feel if the situation was reversed and you were the dad and no one ever told you you had a kid? And hows the kid gonna feel? What if they someday find out they never met their dad because the mom just skipped out on telling their dad they existed
