If a couple were to brake up and have a baby together shouldnt dad still be there for the baby?

Answer 1

Yes Absolutely! Every Child deserves a Father!

Answer 2

absolutely definately all the way why should the child have to suffer of having no father just because he doesnt get along with the mother. the couple both produced the baby so they both have the same responsibility for the child 100%. if the father wasnt ready to be a father maybe he should have been more careful in the first place I think any father who doesnt have time for their child or doesnt want to see them is a low life and that someone needs to knock some sense into them before its too late

Answer 3

Certainly! The problems the parents have are not the childs. I can't stand my boys' father, but he is their father, and it is not my choice as to whether they see him or not. I leave that up to them. He chooses not to see them or talk to them very often, but my youngest still goes out a couple of times a year to see him, my oldest has nothing to do with him...by his choice. Their father agrees with me on this. My youngest even lived with him for 6 months. That is all he lasted out there (we live in different states), after that, their father and I decided that neither child would live with him, but could visit when they want, that was because it interrupted the school year, and my son wanted to live with each of us for 6 months. So now my son goes out every summer and spends the summer (if his dad doesn't change his mind). So, yes as long as the father wants to be a part of the childs life, he should. It can only help the child in the end.

Answer 4

yes of course it is child too.. and he should love it almost as much as you do.. i say it that way because i know the women carry the baby and feel it grow and move inside us.. i lost some children at birth and it did not effect my husband as it did me.. so i say they should care almost as much as the mother does...and he should do all he can to make sure the baby has everything the child needs... i think it is real sad though that you two can not make it together...hope all works out for you...

Answer 5

Absolutely. It is a blessing to have a healthy child.

Now I have seen situations where the mother is bitter and angry and makes it very difficult and uncomfortable on purpose for the Dad to see his child.
I have seen some guys don't want anything to do with the child and that is just damn sad. Makes me want to smack them across the face.

Answer 6

Yes, most definitely. For your baby to grow up as normal he/she should, his/her father should be there for him/her every step of the way, regardless of the fact that he does not live with you and your baby anymore.

Answer 7

Absolutely(1). Furthermore, he should be there for the baby's mother too...(2)

Answer 8

By all means the father should be a part of the child's life!!!

Answer 9

IT DEPENDS~AND THIS IS WHY IT DEPENDS~SOME MEN YES ARE GOING TO BE WONDERFUL FATHERS REGARDELSS OF WHAT KIND OF HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND THEY WERE~IF THEY CHOOSE TO BE A PART OF THE CHILDS LIFE~AND ON THE OTHER HAND~IF HE IS GOING TO BE ANY TYPE A SHITTY FATHER~WHAT IS THE POINT!!! IF HE IS GOING TO MORE HARM TO THE CHILD THAN GOOD~LET HIM WALK~THERE IS NO AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THE WORLD THAT IS GOING TO MAKE UP FOR ANY KIND OF DAMAGE HE COULD BE DOING TO THIS CHILD IN THE LONG RUN~SO WHY START IT?? IF HE CHOOSES NOT TO BE THERE FOR THE CHILD~YOU PERSONALLY CAN NOT FORCE SOMEONE TO BE A PARENT~LET ALONE A GOOD ONE~SO WHY DO IT??? I KNEW MY EX~WAS GOING TO DO MORE HARM TO MY DAUGHTER THAN GOOD~HE FAUGHT FOR HIS RIGHTS~I TOLD HIM I WOULD PAY HIM THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT HE WAS ORDERED TO PAY ME~EVERY MONTH UNTIL SHE WAS 18~JUST TO SIGN OFF ON HER, HOWEVER, HE DIDN'T TAKE THAT DEAL~SO 7 YEARS LATER IN COURT~WITH HIM ONLY HAVING SUPERVISED VISITS FOR FOUR HOURS ON SATURDAYS, IT IS FINALLY OVER~WITH DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE, HIM BEING CHARGED WITH SLEEPING WITH A MINOR~HOW COULD I POSSIBLY THINK THAT HE WOULD BE A GOOD DAD??? I KNEW NOTHING ELSE BUT TO GET RID OF HIM AND RAISE HER ON MY OWN~IT IS SO MUCH EASIER AND SO MUCH BETTER FOR HER IN THE LONG RUN~~SO I GUESS TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION~WHAT KIND OF DAD DO YOU THINK HE WOULD BE??? DO YOU THINK THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR YOUR CHILD TO HAVE HIM AROUND OR NOT??????? WILL HE BE A GOOD DAD, OR A BAD DAD???? THIS IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO ANSWER YOUR SELF~BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING OF THIS MAN~I'M JUST SAYING BEING A SINGLE MOTHER, IS REALLY HARD~FIGHTING IN COURT AGAINST A MAN YOU DISPISE FOR 7 YEARS~EVEN HARDER!!!!!!!!! BUT IT IS SO MUCH BETTER FOR MY DAUGHTER IN THE LONG RUN~SHE WILL KNOW HOW HARD I FAUGHT FOR HER, AND HER SAFTEY~GOOD LUCK WITH ANYTHING YOU DECEIDE~OH~AND PS~HIS START OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL ABUSE IS WHAT ENDED OUR RELATIOSHIP~THEN 2 YEARS AFTER WAS HIS CONVICTION WITH THE MINOR~SO IF YOURWONDERING WHY WOULD I GO TO BED WITH THIS A**HOLE TO BEGIN WITH~HE WASN'T ALWAYS LIKE THIS~THIS IS JUST WHAT BECAME OF HIM, WHEN I FOUND THE DRUGS I WAS GONE~

Answer 10

No. He should leave the mother and child to fend for themselves. After all, a kid is the mother's responsibility entirely.
