any single moms having arguments with father over financial support for baby? Things seem okay until you ask.. I just want to know if there are other mothers out there with the same dilemma. Things are fine until you ask for some money or some kind of financial assistance? That seems to be our problem lately and always has been since my pregnancy. We both have good jobs but he makes way more than me and has way less responsibilities. I have a 7 yr old from previous relationship in which i do recieve child support. I love my bf very much and we get along great until the topic comes up for some financial assistance. He gets really defensive and says, "i'll help the baby...i'll buy diapers and formula". when i ask for perhaps some money weekly just so that i dont have to keep buggin him for things he keeps saying things like, "i do alot around here and i always help out. I dont know if i will have a job soon...im worried about my retirement". Im lost for words when he says things like this. We do not live together and we both pay our own bills and i also worry about retirment. I also worry about my future too. We are both older and the baby was a big surprise. Now that she is due anyday, i feel that i will be the one sacrificing more than he will be. I dont mind but i still feel that he should financially contribute a little bit and still provide things for the baby and pay for daycare. He says he will pay for baby items and daycare but then complains if i ask for any money from him. He says that im being controlling and unappreciative and that i have a hidden agenda. Im very hurt by all his words. I even tried sitting down with him and discussing our bills and income and coming up with something that is reasonable without going through child support or a lawyer. He gets very upset and doesnt wish to discuss things with me. I dont know what to do. If i go for child support, i lose him completely and will struggle with daycares and babysitters. If i just ask him for things on a weekly basis or as needed, he will help out and contribute. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is anyone having these difficulties? What causes men to feel financially threatened like this? Im going to stick it out for a while and see what happens. Maybe once the baby is born he will change? I need his help with the baby for i have no family or friends nearby to help me with an infant. Plus, I have to return to work early. Please women out there tell me im not alone and that there are others experiencing this. I dont want to hear things like "why did your open your legs?" or "you should of thought of that before getting pregnant". I was going to get my tubes tied a month before the pregnancy and i was considering abortion as well but decided to do whats right. Please be easy on your answers.

My best friend is going to start school this fall & needs all the financial help she can get. Any information would be helpful. Thank you in advance! Wow! Very judgmental!

Credit repair/financial/career help question? Ok here goes: Had some bad accidents. Am partially disabled. I have had to declare bankruptcy in 06 I had lots of slow/no pays prior in various types of credit. I also had a house begin the forclosure process. I sold it prior to total forclosure, but it shows up on my credit report as "forclosure begun" I have student loan debts:$40k I have a question about credit first: how long until the mortgage comes off of the report? How do I remove it? Due to my disabilities, I have been unable to finish school. I am also a single mom-without any financial help. Bills don't stop even though I am trying to better myself. Meaning, I want to go get some job training but can't because I need to work every moment possible as I don't make anywhere near a living wage. Financial aid doesn't pay enough to live on. I will always have to work and go to school. My child and I barely see each other anymore. How can someone get out of poverty? Will I ever be able to own a home again? Thanks. Dad is participatory and due to shared custody, he is not required to pay me child support. Although my student loan debt is high, I changed degrees, and am no where near graduating.

We sold everything else trying to keep up with the bills. Everyone tells me I am unqualified to receive any government assistance other than food stamps that we have graciously accepted. Having been a nurse for 21 years this has been very difficult. any suggestions out there?
Any single moms who need help? If you are a single mother with a young child, live in the US, don't have a boyfriend, and are in need of small financial help, then tell me your story. Any small amount helps, right? Interesting, so far you are all a bunch of idiots. I like to help people - and like 99% of the other people in this world, no, I don't want anything in return. Absolutely nothing. Unfortunately, you all assumed otherwise. What a sad world we live in. Sorry if I offended you.
Collge Help... single moms and others? Hi I am almost 30 and a single mom of 3. I have been working in the fast food industry for the last 5 years and I am ready to get out. I have always wanted to go to nursing school and become an RN and I am seriously thinking about doing it. I am afraid though, I will not have enough income to support the family while I am going to school. The state of Maine helps with daycare services. I am wondering about financial aid and perhaps student loans... I have my own computer and have a steady 500 dollars automatically every month, is there someone else who has done this that can give me a push in the right direction, or someone give me advice or an opinion on what I should do? Thank you this is something I am serious about, I can't work my butt off no more for such little money...

Survey For Single Moms (from a single Mom...) ? Do you have a 'significant other' in your & your child's/children's lives? How's it working out? My son & I have gone through SO much together! WAY more than I could explain here...but suffice to say, I was incredibly skeptical about having an "adult" love again!! I just wanted to go do my job that gave me income, so that I could come home & do what I love! Well, after being widowed once, & divorced after that, I finally found the man I was meant to spend my life with; my Karmic Lego. :-) We bought a home together last year. My little guy adores him! But it has NOT been an easy transition.... I am still a single Mom, for all practical purposes. I don't need, expect or want this man's financial help; I kinda like it that way. We are both professionals, w/ good incomes, etc. Now I'm just rambling... I guess my question is, are you a single Mom w/ a serious love interest? How does/do your child/children fit into the scenario? I just want to make everything work....
Is there any finacial help available for a single dad raising kids.? We always hear about help for single moms but todays society is growing in numbers of single dad parents and I am one of them.

Single mom, Attending School Full-time?.....How can I work, and not loose all my money in childcare...Help!? In need of some serious advice from single mothers. who have been faced w/ these issues. I have a six year old daughter. I just relocated for a fresh start. I'm a fulltime cosmetology student my school schedule is (Tue - Sat 9:30 to 5:30pm). Currently I pay 200.00 per month for b/f and after a/f care. I knew when I made this decision it was gonna be hard. It just became even harder, I used to have financial support from my ex. Recently he just up and cut me off. Which in the long run is a good thing, he was very abusive to begin with. However i'm forced to work. I have many concerns 1) is in the state where I live they have a waiting list for child care vouchers. 2)I will probably have to (work 6:00 to 11:00, 5 days a week) This is only PT. The cost for day care from (4:00pm to 11:30 pm) is 600.00 even with child support. I will still owe 300.00. Mom's how can I make this work? I have lot's of clerical experience. What type's of jobs can I work that pay higher rate for less hours. Waiting list for daycare vouchers, The school I attend is private, so no help there. I have no family here. (no, help!) I know it can be done. I only have 9 more months to go.
