So my baby's father and I are no longer together. He has a new girlfriend and recently said he doesn't want to be apart of the baby's life because he don't want to deal with me. My other kids have their fathers last name and I would like for my son to have his fathers name too but my friends believe he should be apart of the baby's life in order for me to name my son after him. I believe no matter what he's going to be there we are just going through difficult time right now. What's some opinions? I'm tired of listening to my friends whom by the way have no children!
@lonia, so true! Thanks for the advice that's the best I heard! Really appreciate it!
We all go through things in life.You should make the choice that best for the child.And no matter what that's his father and that's never gonna change.JUST because thing are not at its best now don't mean it's gonna always be this way.We all say things and do things we don't mean when we're hurt.Sometime we got to think as mother and not as friends do what best for him in the long run.
totally your choice but idk why you would give YOUR son the name of a person who says they dont want to be apart of the babys life. by what you say he doesnt sound very reliable and who knows how much he will be there or bow good of a father he will be. i would want him to have my name a name to strive to be, someone whos reliable. idk maybe im getting too deep lol deffinatly do what you think is best i probably sounded rude.
He's a great dad to his son but his sons mother isn't in the picture. I guess it is solely my decision. If he has my last name and his father comes around I guess he will just be responsible in paying for it to be changed
Like @kylamommy2016 said he's the father and trust me when the child has the man's last name it makes getting child support and things of that nature so much easier. Even if he doesn't sign you can still give baby his last name and then taking him to court from proof of paternity. Either he can acknowledge or do a DNA when it comes out him you just go to Vita records and have his name put on the BC. When my daughters father was acting like an ass after she was born I had to go through the whole process
That's totally your call. I wouldn't put his last name if he's not going to be a part of their life but I think it's too soon to tell, especially if you feel like it's just a phase you two are going thru
In my opinion I think baby should have your last name. I've heard that when he/she comes of school age if they have dads last name and you don't have his last name then there might be certain things that require his consent if the child has his last name. This Is based off of what I've read from other people who have posted the same problem on another one of my pregnancy apps. I'm new to all of this so I could be completely wrong and of course this is just my opinion, I just know if my baby's dad wasn't in the picture I would want baby to have my last name :) good luck mama
