Co-parenting headache with baby mama

In the lengthy note, the man wrote, “I just reached out to my baby mama for a way forward concerning the welfare of my child. I had spent over 20 million on her and the baby in 5 months but I was met with lack of accountability.

“It made me feel so bad that since the 11th of January, I haven’t bought food or anything for my baby again. She ran out of food on the 30th of January (a month and two days ago).

“But watching Ada Omo Daddy preached a gospel to me and made me weep at the scene where Mr. Bankole handed Pero over to Charles Okafor. It broke my heart and I wept fa.

“To be honest, I want to take care of my child but my baby mama has been making it challenging for me. I’m going to dust everything off, and continue right after the DNA. This movie was for me. Thank you so much.”
