The New Girlfriend!!!!

No I don't think you were wrong to ask that, but I would not call her to ask her about it bu that is just me, unless you can do so VERY diplomatically and do so reassuring her that you are not interested in him but just need him to do his fatherly duties. I guess one way to deal with it would be to tell him if he is not willing to put it back in your car, he can buy a seperate car seat for himself (especially if you bought this one) so you won't have to transfer it.

This is a hard situation and you have to do what you can to try to not make it any harder. Sounds like he has a jealous, immature girlfriend, but then again, maybe he is just using this as an excuse and he is just lazy. You don't really know and either way he is wrong for not helping you with this as a single mom - but you also have to take the "high road" and think about the atmosphere around your daughter. You want to stay on as good a terms w/ her father as you can. Maybe talk to him about it at another time and explain the need for you to do this and ask him if there is any way to fix it - pray also and ask for guidance and strength, as I feel for you so much.

Keep on girl, you get the benefit of having your daughter so don't let it become a hassle, it is not worth it.

Take care,

gET A SECOND CAR SEAT THAT HE KEEPS IN HIS CAR AND YOU KEEP IN YOURS. THAT SHOULD SOLVE ONE PROBLEM. WE HAD TWO SEATS BECAUSE IT WAS A PAIN PULLING THE CAR SEAT FROM ONE CAR TO THE NEXT. AND NEVER EVER SPEAK TO THE GIRLFRIEND. THAT WILL BRING OTHER PROBLEMS

Don't call her and don't ever ask him to do anything else for you. You will have a hard time, but being self sufficient is very rewarding. Tell him to buy his own car seat. You don't need to make things easier for him. Hopefully before too long he will learn that in order to be a good father he needs to good to the child's mother. For now, just handle things on your own, it will be hard, but it will keep you from being disappointed. I personally don't handle rejection or the word "no" very well, so I wouldn't ask him for anything. Good luck.

Wow, girl that would have ticked me off too ;) But I agree with the other ladies that calling her is probably not a good idea. You really aren't involved in their relationship, and she might have been mad for various reasons. Who knows. Maybe she is selfish, you just don't know and calling her will probably lead to more misunderstanding and maybe future problems. You weren't wrong to ask him to help you and I think that you can and should ask for his help whenever you need it. He is you daughter's father. However if he says he can't do it, maybe just say ok. You know even when you are married you can't always accommodate each other for different reasons. I know it is tough, but this woman in his life could be a short term thing or could be serious. If it is short term, why waste your time? If it is long term, then having a decent relationship with her will be better for your daughter. I wish you all the best!!
