I would definitely say ask for the money because that is still a responsibility he has it’s no different with all his other bills that he still has to pay and his child is a bill too (not to sound insensitive in any way) but I mean it as another expense that is mandatory too as your baby needs stuff and it’s not only on you. Start off small if you have to but something is better then nothing
You should have a conversation with him about it. Just go at it in a way of you need the help. It’s his responsibility and you shouldn’t even have to ask. But maybe a mature conversation where you two can discuss how he can help and what’s acceptable.
My parents would never be in a position where I’d have or need to cover their mortgage or any bills.im not sure how I’d navigate that. Sounds like the baby has what they need regardless but he should contribute. If he couldn’t for a bit because of his mom being in the hospital and him helping her out ok but if he continues to not help financially I wouldn’t consider him very involved since he doesn’t contribute to her upbringing
Raising children costs money you shouldn’t even have to ask him, he should be giving it to you regular. If he is struggling he should have that conversation with you and come to some sort of agreement
Get the money, not selfish. The no money is for your baby. It’s giving your baby a better life. Good luck
