Father With No Job

Darknessangel87 - August 22

I'm 30 weeks pregnant right now, due October 28, 2006 with a baby girl and I just got my first apartment. However, my boyfriend doesn't have a job and says he's "trying" (which is putting in 2 applications in the last 2-3 months) to get a job. I told him at the beginning on August that he had until the end of the month to get a job or he could not move into the apartment with me. He flipped, but said he would get a job. Well, now it's August 22nd and he still has no job. He's only given me $50 out of the $525 that I paid for the apartment. I really don't think that he will have a job by the end of the month, and I really want to stick by my guns, but he's very obsessive and protective of me and I know he would flip on me if I made him give me the key back. I don't know what to do. His grandmother (the one he lives with now) doesn't help anything. She nags him about getting a job, but yet she still pays for his cigarettes and car insurance and gas, and pretty much anything else he wants. He's 20 years old, he should have a freaking job by now. I think I've been extremely gracious about how long I've given him to get one. I'm sick of putting up with this, and I don't want to have to support him. I really do love him, and I know he loves the baby and can't wait for her to be born, but I don't think he really wants to support her financially, or something along those lines. What should I do?

How does he plan on supporting his family when this baby is born? He needs a swift kick to the job bank, and you should stick to you guns because if you let him stay and you end up supporting him and the baby, he dosnt really have a reason to get a job, in his eyes. He has alot of growing up to do and he only has about 10weeks to do it.. (change the locks if you have to)Good Luck.

OHHHH I am in the same boat as you! I'm 20, 24 weeks and 5 days pregnant due Dec. 11th with a baby boy. My fiance has been "trying" to get a job for almost 2 years now...talk about bring gracious! He copped a job at a grocery store for like a month back in April and he QUIT because he complained about it and just stopped going to work (I didn't know I was pregnant at the time either). So then in June when we found out I was pregnant he told me all these promises about getting a job. He is 23 years old and he lives with his mom. He doesn't drive or anything either, no license. I was working 5 shifts a week and he'd call me while I was at work from an outting with his friends...p__sed me off. I was living in the dorms for the summer so I was looking for an apartment (BY MYSELF), my parents had agreed to pay my rent so I could just save my job money and focus on school. He wanted to move in with me! It was like I couldn't say no...I don't see how it would have worked because I would have to pay for his EVERYTHING. I was really upset because my dad's insurance doesn't cover pregnancy doctor visits and hospital costs so I was depending on him to get a job with benefits. He was "trying" but it seemed to me like he was out with his friends all the time or at home on the phone complaining how bored he was. We also had bad relationship problems and due to that and because I couldn't live with him (not until he straightened out and I got myself together as well)...and also due to him not having a job and living off of me and my parents I went back home (I had told my parents my situation and then I changed my mind because I wanted to move into the apartment but they wouldn't take no for an answer and made me move back home) instead of moving into the apartment I was supposed to be living in. He still doesn't have a job now. Stick by your guns. Tell him he can't just wait for a job to come to him he needs to get up off his a__s and find one himself. Feel free to email me at bluespace86@hotmail.com, I know exactly what ya going through =P

Wow...I am 20 and almost 35 weeks pregnant. The father of my child is 29 and a marine that was discharged due to a disability. He doesn't have a job, but gets a check from the marine corps every month. After raising hell he finally decided to go back to school in january to finish his degree. Stcik to your guns and let him know that not having a job is not an option and he needs to be able to provide for his child.
