So, is he there to make sure she has prenatal vitamins (+DHA and consumes the correct diet), a labor partner, attends infant care classes, birthing classes, chooses the hospital, the pediatrician, the daycare facility, breastfeeding options, researches the appropriate car seats, cribs, lead levels in the home the infant will reside in, gets her to the doctor appointments, makes sure she's safe in case of bad weather (falls, car problems, etc), x the million typical things westerners deal with?
Or, is he skipping out on all that?
No, he goes on about his dating life but pays child support and has time with his son when he is born.
I see what filihok is getting at here. I can't really make an opinion on this since there is not enough information. I guess it just depends on the situation.

Sure.
I haven't seen anything in this thread that indicates that that is the circumstance though.

Then he's either not terribly intelligent or his care/concern for his kid is limited. It would be best if he didn't add to the gene pool, but obviously that's not how it goes. I'll add one vote for ass hat.
My situation was a totally unexpected and I was devastated but not for me for some reason when he left me I didn't care I just cried thinking of my baby (son) I couldn't understand how he could walk away from his child. I'm a good mum though and my son has a great life. I'm going back to school to become a nurse this fall when my son starts nursery (per school) he's now 2 and a half and he's never asked about his dad or anything I think he thinks my dad is his dad and he loves him to death so I know he's not missing out on anything
After reading your words in different threads i know you are a wonderful, loving, caring mum, lass...
The details given are constantly evolving, seemingly to suit the matters raised. What 'facts' are supposed to be taken into consideration for an answer exactly or does one choose from along the thread?
Does this turn out to have a happy ending with the 'deserting' male realising the error of his ways and returning to be a doting father and loving partner? Does he go on to earn three figure sums and put his child through college and sing at his wedding?

Yep, we took Lamaze classes. I delivered all my young'uns. The doc helped a little bit......
You & hubby will be wonderful, loving, caring parents, Braunie...
Me to. And he is a scum bag too. Our child together is 9 and he has yet to meet her or send any support.
I was on the pill and we used a condom...go figure. Love her to death but I can't say I would not run him over, on a dark road if he happened to cross my path.
