Ok so long before I conceived I had always said if I ever had a baby boy I was going to name him Evan. It seems to be the only name me & SO can agree on. Well when I told my mom she told me I couldn't name him like that because that is her boyfriend's son's name. Her boyfriend isn't allowed to see his son because his baby's mom doesn't let him because she says he's a bad influence & she blames my mom. Anyway, my mom said if I name my baby like that she will not be as attached to him because it will remind her of her bfs son. I think that is so unfair! First of all I LOVE that name & I don't care who else has it. Second, her boyfriend will not be around my son so why should it matter? This is my kid not hers. Ughh I just really hate that she's making me chose a different name. What do you ladies think? What should I do?
Thank you ladies! I appreciate it, I cried when she told me I couldn't name him like that but he's my baby & she will have to love him whatever his name is & if she doesn't oh well
@hairgirl1087, we are not really close, we are always arguing😒. Yeah that's the way I see if he's not going to be around long & he will definitely not be around my child, I don't see why she is so concerned
Don't change that name girl that's not her husband and its not your daddy. Name your baby what you want!!
I'm sorry your going through that. how close are you and your mom? keyword her is "boyfriend" so I say name the baby Evan. this boyfriend of your mothers doesn't sound like he will be around long.
although we all WANT to respect & consider our parents wishes... the truth of the matter is that we must realize WE are now the decision makers & parents over our families. So mom can have an opinion but ultimately YOU have to live with your choices & decisions so u better LOVE what u choose & be confident about it. Even if u feel bad for a bit.. & c'mon once she holds that lil boy in her hands how will she NOT be able to love & adore him by nature?! Do it! I LOVE the name Evan!!
Don't change his name. She'll get over it once she meets him. It's your baby. You get to make all the decisions. Just ignore her if she brings it up again and say you are willing to discuss it.
Don't change his name just your mother is being a child about it. it's your child. not hers, the naming is your decision.
she going to get over it ...my mom wanted nothing to do with me when I told her I was pregnant.. then she calls back in 30 mins and telling me all types of pregnant stuff n where we can shop at ..lol but she'll be over it don't stress over that
I would keep the name hell its her loss and f she doesn't want to be around him.
@amoramomma16, exactly! You like it or not that is your grandchild! Lol
@babyjjsmommy, @mommyof2boys248 @gummy5 thank you ladies! It really hurts that she'll try not to bond with my child because of his name but her loss!
same my mom think paiyton a boy name so she says I need to change it ...I love you mom but your grandchild name is paiyton ..
Agreed^ you're the parents, and it's your decision. That would be wrong of her to purposely not be as "attached" because of a name, regardless it is her grandkid..
honestly I would keep the name, her loss if she decides not to be as involved with your son.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
I mean... Who says such a thing??? "Won't be as attached to him because of her bfs son?" That's ridiculous @
