My husband's a lousy father

Post Reply New Topic

So I bring home a baby girl on Monday and I have had her with me at all times at home. I named her Jennifer. You don't need to feed her or change her or watch her but if you give her her bottle, she will wet. But my husband won't consider it our child and he keeps saying he can be my baby and says I am acting like a baby because I am saying it's our baby, a replacement for the baby we lost. He won't even hold it or watch it or have anything to do with it. Why? Because Jennifer is just a doll.

I would be a little creeped out by that, i dont know that you need to seek immediate professional help as wombat suggested, i think it seems like you did it kind of jokingly, but it is a little weird.

Divorce him and take the baby doll with you.

I'm sure they'll be more than willing to let you keep your baby..doll.

You should both spend more time in the bedroom.

lol that last sentence was crazy. I hope it was a joke though if not then yea it is weird.

Spokane_Girl,
I am sorry for your loss. You must want to be a Mom very much.
If this is your way to mourn, then that is ok.
But your husband is mourning too in his own way. Do not push this on him. He is not the father of a doll and he must deal with his loss. He must have wanted to be a Dad very much too.

You may want to see if there is a support group in your area.

There are no support groups in my area. I looked.

I think my husband is getting better now. He finally held her but he left her in the bedroom when he woke up and said I was the one who forgot her.

are you being serious?
if you are im very sorry if you arent this still creeps me out.
