The former Love Island star, 36, shares the 21-month-old with the former Hollyoaks actor, 43, who she split from during her pregnancy. After their daughter was born the pair briefly got back together before then parting for good.
Laura, who has claimed 'co-parenting and financial support didn't exist', took to her Instagram Stories saying she felt 's***' for the tot on Father's Day.
She captioned a clip of herself sarcastically giving a thumbs up she wrote: 'Cheers to the single mums that feel sh*t for their kids on Father's Day'.

MailOnline have contacted Gary Lucy's reps for comment.
In January Laura looked back at the last year she said the past 12 months 'weren't easy' as she never imagined that she would become a single parent.
She said that financially she wasn't supported with Bonnie and that she has been 'struggling everyday'.
Laura did however include some positive highlights in her post including meeting her new footballer boyfriend Clark Robertson.
Scottish TV star Laura took to her Instagram in July responding to a comment as she claimed Gar hadn't seen their daughter since early January.
Responding to a troll who questioned whether Bonnie ever sees her father, Laura replied: 'Do you mean has her daddy seen her…. No he hasn't since 2nd January if you would like to direct those questions to him as I have no control over the actions of others x.'
A representative for Gary declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline at the time.
Then in September the actor, who also shares two sons and two daughters with ex-wife Natasha, broke his silence on the matter when a cruel troll commented on a sweet clip of Bonnie playing with her elder brother.
'When Theodore got to be the big Brother for the day …. If this doesn't melt your heart I don't know what will ,' he captioned.
The post was flooded with touching comments, yet a negative one caught Gary's eye.
'Funny you keep posting videos but you never see her,' a person wrote - but the actor was quick to reply: 'Nope only you 'shaz' everyone else seemed to just enjoy a lovely video ….
'I'll block ya in a bit … then ya can set up a new email / insta profile so ya can keep a bitter twisted eye on my page.'
He went on adding in another comment below: 'Course she does .. she's invested hours n hours on ppls 'instagram lives' that's gotta going for something right ….. oh wait.'
One fan raced in his support, commenting: 'Sounds like the Gary police are out in force today, leave the man alone, if you don't like what he posts then don't look and unfollow, I'm sure he won't give a, its his profile, he can post what he likes. Rant over.'
Earlier this month Laura hit back at trolls after suffering backlash for holidaying in the Maldives without her daughter.
She jetted off with her boyfriend Clark and shared a series of sun-soaked snaps from her romantic getaway.
While many gushed over the stunning snaps, one follower accused the reality star of abandoning her toddler.
They wrote: 'Poor Bonnie ditched again… I just wouldn't choose to leave my child over and over again thousands of miles away. A wee night away though absolutely!'
Laura wasted no time to hit back and replied: 'Over and over please explain,' with many of her fans rushing to defend her.
They branded the critic a 'mum-shamer' as they praised Laura for taking some well deserved time for herself.
Firing back once more, Laura commented: 'No one shames the dads.'
However, the original commenter doubled down, saying: 'I will if it's a dad doing it.
'Shame on Bonnie's dad, shame on my dad, shame on any dad that treats their kids the way some do. Shame on any sex.
'And I didn't say shame on you. Just said you'd ditched the wee babe again.
'I ain't ringing the bells like a town crier, just saying bairns been left to someone else to look after while you jet off again!'
Laura later clarified to fans that she had only been away for just four days and had many video calls with her daughter.

Yasmin misunderstood the question and thought it was about who she would pick and she wrote Dejon on her board. Later she confessed this to a bewildered Jamie who became clearly upset. In tonight's episode Jamie sat with a couple of the boys and said: "This doesn't go outside of misinterpreted the question and she said Dejon." He continued: "I am a little caught of guard because she is acting like she hates him. "Even in the challenge the other day always oh Meg and Dejon, Meg and Dejon. "Why is she obsessed with him bro? Know what I mean. "Like that is weird." Fans of the show were quick to comment and one wrote: "Yasmin & Jamie I'm gonna need you to just hold it together!! The final is on Monday." Another added: "I completely understand Jamie's confusion, but I think him and Yas just need to have another conversation and it'll all get worked out." Watch the moment FURIOUS row explodes between Love Island's 'strongest couple' as they head for a split just days before final "Yas and Jamie need to sort it out asap! stressing me out," said another fan. Tempers also flared when the Islanders were asked"Which couple are you most scared to give your honest opinion on?" Shakira and Harry chose Meg and Dejon and Meg said to Shakira, 'I think if people were honest in the first place. "And told us to our faces instead of saying it constantly behind our back, it would be a different story.' An emotional Shakira became annoyed at Meg and accused her of being fake and acting like they are mates. She said: "I don't know why you keep acting like we're the best of mates in here. From day one, you were very standoffish with any girl that was posed as a threat.' Meg replied: 'I think you've called every single person in this Villa fake.' Shakira then told her she will never pretend to be her mate. Meg interrupted: 'You won't be my friend on the outside.' Shakira said: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.'
