I am in a mood today... It has been off and on all week, but I think today has been the worst. This past weekend I went to the store w/my mom to register b/c she is planning my baby shower. Off and on all week I have been thinking, feeling everything from sadness to anger b/c I have yet to hear from the sperm donor who got my pregnant since he dumped me at 16 weeks pregnant. All the financial responsibilty of just preparing for the baby is falling on me, my family and friends and that really makes me angry! It isnt fair! Why should he get off scott free?? There are times I just cry out of fustration, times I want to call him to let him have it (but I wont do it b/c I refuse to call him), and times I just feel so sad I cant think straight. I know I will be okay b/c I have the best support system in the world. I talk about this to my friends and my family, but I still feel things building up inside that I want to vent to the sperm donor and only him. I am focused on my baby, and making sure she is healthy and will have a good life. I just dont know what to do anymore about him and what is stewing inside me...

Just wait till you see that beautiful baby for the first time. Then I imagine you'll be grateful for the day you met your Ex and grateful for the day he left cause you wouldnt want someone like that around your precious little gift.
For now vent away thats why we are here.

you need to vent! here is secret ... sure that important stuff a car seat, stroller .. A lot of the baby stuff goes on clearance in january .. check the clearance racks

check second hand baby stuff, too ... I got a lot of kayley stuff there. I got a portable swing new 64 and i paid $27, check to see if you a craigslist in your area. I was able to get a lot of clothes from there with varies sizes. if you have a carters outlet check the clearance ... they clearance/defective just for a small dot.

swing - 45/100
entainment saucer - 50/100
portable playcrib clearance @ 34.00 and retails 100. a return for online.

Sorry your feeling so frustrated. I can so relate.
I didnt even have a baby shower because I am so isolated here.
I know how it is when you want to tell him off but at the same time don't want to call.

Kayla's Mom,

you fogot one more price ....

Getting all this stuff for your children at a price you can afford ... priceless

Sorry, I couldn't resist, I know it was stupid!

Seriously, Deter716, he WON'T get off scott free unless you let him, you ened to file for child support the minute the child is born. Don't wait because child support starts when you file. Even if he runs, he will still owe the money.

Even though my mother nor I haven't persued it, I am actually owed money from child support from my biological father who walked out on me and my brother when I was a child. He still hasn't paid and the case won't close until he does (I am 2 by the way so it is an old case). He could still go to jail for it if my mother or I ever wanted to push the case, but it money wasn't worth it to me so he is getting off scott free this now just because I don't ever want to meet him nor accept anything from him since he didn't care to everstep one foot in my life.

I felt the same way and decide to go after child support.

Who is kayla's mom

Ok, sue me! I was writing your name from memory after reading all the posts! I know I could have EASILY clicked the tab to go back and read your name but I was lazy and trusted my memory to do it.

Just tried to look at your myspace profile, couldn't see anything because it is private except I think it is your picture there. If that is the case you are cute and I bet you will be remarried in a year or 2.
