Baby daddy advice needed

So my partner has hardly worked since my baby was born (a year and a half ago) he started a job called in sick all the time and then they fired him because of this. He is employed at a fast food chain however hardly gets shifts and will turn shifts down. Being with him 24/7 is making me loose my mind and start to resent him! I feel like I literally do everything! I cook, I clean, I play with baby, I feed baby, bath him, shower with baby, put him to sleep etc etc like I literally do everything!! And to be honest i don’t know how much I love him anymore?! Is this bad for me to say is it normal for me to be feeling this way because he does nothing? What do I do? I’m scared to leave because I’m scared to be a young single mum (I’m 20 and we live with his relative) I would have to move in with my mum until I had enough to move out…and then if I left what would I do about custody? He isn’t very patient with our child and I don’t like the thought of doing one week with me one with him i don’t know what to do I just need some MAJOR advice. thank you x

Show your support

his behavior from what you have said is not acceptable. if you’re considering planning on leaving him then you need to position yourself to get full custody. so you need to gather evidence. how doesn’t provide financially, he doesn’t take shifts at work idk if you have messages. take videos if he gets angry and get text messages if you guys communicate that way. you need to position yourself financially and legally in order to provide for your kid and for them to have the best parenting they can. there may even be some probono lawyers you can talk to for help

My baby daddy only comes to see our child maybe once every six months and only sends a hundred pounds a month. He doesn’t help me with anything. I’m 20 and in full-time education, going to school Monday to Thursday and doing an eight-hour placement on Fridays. I have to take the child to nursery early in the morning since I start school at 9 o'clock, and it's really draining. The last time he saw our child was in November, and I have no family here to support me. It's just me and my child, and I handle all the cleaning, assignments, and placements on my own. I understand how hard it can be; we could actually be friends and help each other out. Where do you live?

And he lives 10 minutes drive away from us

@Millie that sounds so hard 😢 I’m in Australia
