Contributing financially to the care of your child is definitely a part of being a parent. But it is a small part. And one shouldn't expect any explause for it. Sending me a "how is she doing" text message every few days and coming to see her every now and then when you are bored or didn't make plans with your girlfriend makes you nothing more than a sperm donor in my eyes. And to send me money to buy her a Christmas gift from you is quite sad when you have no reason why you can't do it yourself. It says you are incapable of spending more than 5 minutes thinking about her. A parent would be proud to take the time picking out a special gift for their child. You have no idea what it takes to be a parent -and have shown you don't have the time to find out - so please don't refer to yourself as one.

Some men are content with being a "sometimy baby daddy". I feel that it is quite pathetic. You spent more time making the child then you do seeing the child. Ridiculous and very sad to say the least!!

WOW! I have gone through this same and similiar situations with my son's sperm donor on far too many occasions. It troubles me to hear of someone else going through the same thing. It's makes no sense at all. My "father" did the same thing to my mom when I was growing up. Now, he brags about me to other people. And when I find out, I'm like, how could he possibly brag on me??? He knows nothing about me personally. He only knows what he has heard from others. Luckily my mom raised me with strong values and morals... that's all you have to do in the same situation. She never bad mouthed him to me... I found out about him on my own and your little will do the same.

Evelyn - it is so sad that there are so many "fathers" out there that take this hands off approach. It is something that I will never ever understand. But you are right - she will find out on her own. Lucky for her she is still too young to notice his mess.
