"THE BMD"


"The BabyMamaDrama"
defined as: when a woman gives her baby daddy pure hell, beggin for money, saying he cant see his kids, calling when she need somethin', wont work, if she does work she think the father should pay for all the kids expenses. She is always startin drama, and just ghetto to the bone.

Now, before I even begin. I'm a single mom too and have/had a dead beat BabyDaddy, so I know a little about justified BMD and unjustified BMD. Let me clarify a few things: If your baby daddy doesnt pay child support, isn't active in your childs lyfe, the child doesn't go to visit daddy for the weekend; then you may bring on the drama. But only then.

In a world that seems so overwhelming, it is unjustifiable drama when you have a BabyDaddy who's paying their child support, spending time with their child and helping to raise their kids.
Better yet, some dad's are present in thier childs lfye and are busy helping, supporting, teaching, mentoring and still recieving a bad rap from the mama's. Give me a break and give them one too.

BM...Enough of the baby mama drama. Dad's have rights too!

At some point, enough should be enough and all this bickering, complaining and selfishness needs to end. Shouldn't it? BabyMama (a.k.a.: "BM") they really know how to push your buttons. Every last one of them. And they seem to like nothing more than to see you lose your cool and argue.

Isn't it suppose to be about the child and the focus on the child's welfare? Shouldn't the BM be content knowing the guy is supporting and actively involved in the child's lyfe? He pays the medical insurance, bi-weekly support, attends any school functions, etc. But hec, when the child gets sick and has to go to Emergency Room, you would think BM would call. Wouldn't you? No, that's too much to ask of the BM.

Don't get me wrong, I know that dead beat dad's are the main reason for most of this drama. But, BM's get real. You have dad's who are totally responsible for taking care of their kids and yet you give them no credit.

Why is it so hard to give the BabyDaddy his just do RESPECT?

I'm sure you have your reasons to think that baby daddy's do not deserve any credit and are assholes.

Cassie, trust me; I do understand and sympathize.

But, honestly not all deserve to be discredited. And some are really taking the flack because of the dead beats.

Girl, Regardless of how your getting the support, just look on the bright side. Least your getting it. I went for years without getting a dime, maybe a tennis shoe here and there. But, I kept pushing my way.

It's our job as parents to nurture our kids best as we can. Yes, baby daddy should take his responsiblilty but if he doesn't just grow and grow and put your all in your child. Focus on them.

I know that is easier said then done, but try not to stoop to his level of giving him the BMD. That's hard, I know. Especially when your child is the one at stack.

Cassie, stay strong. I'm sure you are a bigger, better, stronger and wiser person.
Thank you for your comment, I do appreciate your honesty.
