Maybe the father of your child isn’t on some Maury Povich level of denial and ridiculousness, but still has deadbeat tendencies. Spotty financial contributions, sometimey acknowledgement of your child’s milestones and a general lack of effort to establish a deep bond, are all sure signs that you’re dealing with a dead beat-ish dad. What’s a single mom to do? If you think the father of your child has the potential to be a better father, but needs some prodding to get things going, try out these tips. Is it fair to you to have to take responsibility for facilitating a father/child bond? Hell naw, but you’re doing this for your child’s sake. It’s worth it.
