If you are a single parent how do you deal with the babies mother or father?

Well, I think you should try to talk with him first, tell him about how you actually feel about this and tell him too, that he was never there. Then see his reaction, if he say that he is sorry and he want to try to be a good father, then give him a second chance with a time trial (a month or 3 would set for this).

i'm a single mother, my daughter was 6 months old when her dad and i decided to split. Even though we didn't love each other anymore we still did everything we could for our daughter. we continued to talk and do family activities together. He came to my house to spend time with our daughter and we even went on family vacations. Now things have changed a little. She's 3 now and her dad has found a girlfriend. His girlfriend doesn't like the fact that he spends time with me so he stopped doing everything as before. now my daughter was so used to that so it's become a bit of a shock to her that he's not around anymore. i beleive you can work it out and still be friends but it's hard when someone else comes into the picture, you can never predidct what will happen in that situation.

My son's father is not a part of our lives at all. I found out that he was cheating on me when I was six months pregnant and broke up with him. He had been telling all of his friends and family that I was lying about being pregnant until I started to show and then it turned into the story of how it wasn't his baby. I had been with him for the past three years off and on so I had gotten pretty used to his lies and cheating. Every time he came back he apologized and swore that he would change. He refused to be at the hospital when my son was born and has only seen him once in the five months since he was born. I ran into him at the grocery store about a week ago and he refused to even look at us. If he decides that he wants to come back to us I have decided that I will tell him that we don't want to have anything to do with him. I personally feel that with his record of leaving me and then coming back months later that it would do more harm to my child than not having a father in his life. Good luck with your situation.

i am a single parent and i dont talk to the father anymore.He can visit his daughter here anytime but his reason is that when he does visit,all i do is scold him and remind him of his responsibilities.is that wrong? If u want him to come back to your family and be a fmily again then go.but make sure he knows his responsibilities now.
