How should I respond to this: I live with a couple of roommates what keep telling me to abandon my kid that lives with me ex. They think I'm wasting my time and energy towards them when I could be doing something more productive. They think I shouldn't be as nice as I am towards the ex since she put a restraining order against me. Currently we are working together for the sake of the baby, but we don't live together. They keep calling me unintelligent. DO you think it is rational for them to make that assumption? They think they are my parents and try to lucture me about how I am making a big mistake in supporting my kid. Now I'm at a point where I feel so worthless to believe that I am so foolish with all the negative feedback. How should I respond to this tormenting?

You should not be bothered with what people say. You are being a responsible parent and this is good. They may not understand what you are doing but just let them be. Each person has their own opinions and I think you just have to "ignore" them. Good luck.

That's because these guys were NOT there when your kid was born. They have no idea the heart of a father and the little conversations and promises a father makes to his baby. To abandon your own flesh and blood is an act of irresponsibility, selfishness, and immaturity.
So it is the other way around. Your roomates have the minds of kids. What do you want to be? It is your choice to hang around with immature kids. I would not give up those fantastic moments seeing a kid grow and change by the day in exchange for senseless parties and substance abuse, all of which are meant to drug your mind to last another day in their empty world.

The most important thing is the welfare of your child. Screw your roommates. You have to take care of that child. Keep a friendly relationship with your ex for the child's sake. You are a parent now.

nicely, i'm assuming you're sufficiently old to choose on between suitable and incorrect so, in case you think of that that's the only right suited situation to do then stick to what you beleive. while you're having doubts using fact of ehat they're asserting then you definitely ought to look at it and see in case you would be able to make the placement extra appropriate. while you're sufficiently old to have a baby then you definitely are sufficiently old to have sufficient accountability to comprehend what to do. Dont pay attention to them, do no longer forget approximately, whether you think of what your doing is erroneous, you are the single with the baby, no longer your roomates. stable luck.

Tell them when they can prove they gave birth to you then you will listen to what they say. Until then, they need to shut the hell up and just worry about themselves.
