Question girls.. Would you think I was petty if I didn't give my son his fathers last name because he cheated on me at 7 months pregnant.. I'm no longer with him. I don't wanna be bitter.. I jus feel like if he can't even respect the mother of his child why does he deserve his son to have his last name..
baby deserves the last name but if he doesnt want anything to do with baby then i suppose you give baby your last namr
well none of my siblings have any if their dads last names, and that's cause neither of them stepped up as dad's. I'm the only one with my dad's last name and he's the only one who stepped up to the plate. I say that if he's not showing you the characteristics of what a responsible father is, then you shouldn't give him the privilege of carrying on his family name to to your kid.
If he wants to be there for his child and be a dad I would give him the last name. In the end that is his father regardless of your problems with each other. But if he's not around & a so called "sperm donor" then I can see why you don't want to. All up to you anyways (:
does he want to be a father to your child and not just a sperm donor? it does mean a lot to a man but do what your gut tells you. I was considering hyphenating mine and my SOs last name instead of just giving my baby his. but I think it'd b easier to add later versus changing later on.
It's not wrong. My BD hasn't been there for me and he won't be around (marine and he hasn't shown much involvement whatsoever) so our daughter will have my last name. She won't even know his side of the family (they live a state away). We're not together so why should she have his last name? I'm the one who will be raising her so in my head it makes sense. If later in life she wants to have his last name, that's her choice. Go with how you feel.
nope... I regret giving my son his dad's last name because he cheated on me 11 times while pregnant...and I stupidly thought he would change... he was there for the birth but walked out on us 4 times since... give your baby the name your most comfortable with.
you follow what you think is best ...if you don't want your child to have the father's last name that's your decision no-one else's..it's not petty it's how you feel .
my baby is getting my last name. ex doesn't wanna quit the drugs and the criminal behavior instead of being there for his kid. I don't feel bad at all.
