Let me preferace this by saying i love you guys because you understand where im comming from as a single mother.

I feel like i cant talk to my irl friends about it at all. Im the only single mom in my group and they dont get it.

I feel like if i talk about being frustrated with bd, or having guilt bentley may never know that part of his family(even though i dont like his paternal grandma), or other single parent problems in general i get nothing but stupid.

Ive just stopped talking about it because i dont want to hear people tell me how i shouldnt feel guilty because bd sucks, and i just shouldnt respond to any of bds texts but i should ask him if he got served with child support yet. I feel like the only people i can talk to are my parents, you guys, my bf, and my sister without getting a shit ton of stupid.

Since i vented, i want to say i love you to all my single parent peeps

    I tell my irl friends that if I vent about BD (or his mother), that I just need to get that shit off my chest. I'm not looking for advice, nor someone to commiserate with. It's like when they complain to me about their husbands. I'm sorry... He lives with you, helps you with baby duties, is just as exhausted and high strung as you've gotten via lack of sleep and you're upset that he burned the STEAK a little? Or that it's supposed to your turn to stay in so he can go out? First, I am the ONLY cook in my house. Which means, there are days that I don't get to eat unless Harley is napping, which lasts about 20min. Nothing good is prepared in 20min because in my house when I ask my dad to take meat out of the freezer and into the fridge, that doesn't happen. Sometimes, I survive on scrambled eggs and a strip of bacon. Second, I don't go out. I have to call around for a reliable babysitter at least a week in advance. I can't just be like "your turn to watch her, I'm out!" When I do leave the house, it's with her so I never stay out long. It's like, bitch, you have more than you think you have. Quit complaining and suck it up. Don't come to me looking for advice unless you want advice on how to do it alone.

    I mean my BF does help a lot but I don't live with him and I don't see him everyday. These bitches live with their BFs/husbands! Fuck right off, cunts! Why are we friends?

    I mean, I know why they're my friends, but they get right on that one nerve

    My biggest pet peeve is this one.

    I just dont understand how he cant love this little boy? Ummm i dont have a good answer for you but thanks for bringing it up.

    Ohhhh or this, why dont you make him give up his rights. Doesnt work like that princess. You dont just give up rights. You have to have someone there to adopt the child when rights are terminated.

    @Beccaga16 and @roxalot i hate thw child support questions. I dont want it for me. I want it for bentley. And the friends who bitch about their partners to me
