Baby Mama Drama: "My boyfriend's baby mama is ruining our relationship!"
'Baby mama' - a term often associated with negativity and, well, drama!
A KZN listener who is dating a man who has a child from a previous relationship sent Stacey and JSbu a voice note asking for advice with regards to the mother of her boyfriend's child.
Tumelo shares that she has been dating the 'love of her life' for a little over a year and everything in their relationship has been smooth sailing until recently. Her boyfriend's baby mama, who is the mother to his five-year-old daughter, seems to not be a fan of hers.
According to Tumelo, whenever the baby mama who co-parents with her boyfriend comes over to drop off her daughter for his time with her, she hardly ever acknowledges Tumelo in the room.
Instead of greeting me when she walks into the apartment my boyfriend and I share, she will give me the death stare. I am always left feeling so awkward so I just remove myself from the situation and go to another room until she leaves
At first, Tumelo felt that she may be imagining things and shrugged it off as she did not want to come across as petty to her boyfriend. This was not until she overheard her partner on the phone with the baby mama:
I heard my partner speaking to her over the phone, I think he thought I was still in the shower. She was ranting about me and how I think that I am the mother of their child and that I need to know my place.
This incident has really hurt Tumelo and now she wants to know how to approach her dilemma. Should she bring up the matter with her boyfriend or address the baby mama directly?
