Although my baby-daddy lives with me, I still had a lot of problems getting him to step up. He was a frequent marijuana user before the baby, so getting him to quit was a huge fight. He went behind my back a lot. Even the day of my baby shower he was trying to buy. He had a hard time just giving in to the fact that we were going to have to suck this up and just get serious. He even tried to break up with me once, he talked to other girls, and spent a lot of time with his crappy friends. I felt like I was the only one being responsible, and because he didn't have a baby attached to him he could do as he pleased. It made my pregnancy really stressful and I didn't get to enjoy it. I think I still might resent him a little for that.
Fortunately he came around. After the baby was born he did everything for the first 2 weeks while I recovered. We go back and forth between being superdad and being incredibly lazy. Just roll your eyes and keep pulling teeth to get him to do what the baby needs. It's not about how much of a dick he is, so don't even bother telling him off. Just get the job done.
