I accidently picked up the phone when my
mom and brother were talking for the 2nd
time...
He was yelling at her about my baby having
luis's last name... In dialog;
bro: I dont know why shes giving her his
last name
mom: I know, ive tried to tell her
bro: he can just take that baby and she
cant do anything about it
mom: but she wont listen to me
bro: should I get a lawyer to tell her
that, to get it in her head?
Mom: well if anything should happen to
her, I couldent even take the baby, the
legal father would get it, and I couldent
do anything about it!
That really pissed me off, what makes her
think that shes going to take my baby?
Even if anything did happen to me... My
baby should be with her dad! And she will
have the last name leal, cause I dont even
know my dad.

Pink- you need to get out of that house.
Seriously. You and luis need to find your
own place because that is caca.
And, just fyi- just because she'll have
his last name doesn't mean he can just up
and take her. If anything were to happen,
she'd probably be placed with you as
"emergency custody" and then you guys
would have to go to court to figure it
out.

Chelle that utterly sucks!! :x it
totally bugs me how people worry about
babies' last names. I mean, of all the
things there are to think about and worry
about with having a baby and raising a
child I think it's last name is a pretty
small thing for someone to lock onto if
you think about it. Maybe you should
tell your mom you overheasd what she said
and you've been giving it a lot of thought
so you're going to give your baby the last
name of bin laden. :lol:
i'm really not making fun of it. I just
think there's a lot of things more
important than that for your mom and your
brother to worry about. I also think its
pretty sh*tty of your bro to stiff you on
your car after you let him use it then get
all worked up over what you're going to
name your baby. He needs to grow up and
lighten up.

Aww i'm sorry you had to overhear that..I
personally hate my last name and plan on
giving my baby the daddy's last name...And
I know once my mom told me "why are you
gonna give him his last name? Your giving
him all the power"..Well I think it should
be up to us...And your right, your baby
should be w/ her daddy if anything did
ever happen to you..I hope things get
better soon though..

Oh for sure. Im going to work my hardest,
and do my best, I dont care what I have to
do, to get what ever my baby needs, and
whatever we need to be happy. Cause this
is miserable. My mom complains cause I
dont work, when she was the one who talked
me into quitting my job when I was 2
months pg (big mistake) then cries cause
she doesnt want us to leave. I dont get
it. Shes just lonely, and takes
everything out on me, and wonders why I
dont want to talk to her about anything.
Cause she always says "you cant do it, you
cant do it"

Chelle it almost sounds like your mom's
afraid you're growing up too fast for her
and she's scared of losing her "little
girl" even though you stopped being a
little girl a long time ago. I know my
mom's told me that's how she feels
sometimes when she thinks about me having
a baby. But at least even though we've
had our fights, my mom's been a lot more
positive. Good luck! I think you'lll
do great as long as you don't let all the
other pettiness get you down too much.

Did you ever spend alot of time with your
before you meet your boyfriend and got
pregnant. If you did she may be jealous
because you are spending more time with
your boyfriend and you will be to busy
with the baby to spend time with her. But
with the last name thing. Your mom can't
take your baby away from you unless she
can prove you to be a unfit mother. Which
the way it sounds to me that you are not a
unfit mother. And it is up you to give
your baby the whatever last name you want
to give it. But there is some hostipal
that will give the baby your last name.
Whether or not the father is there to sign
the papers. Because when my brother's
wife had their baby (they wasn't married
at that time) they tried to give the baby
her last name. But my brother got mad
about that and told them that if they
don't put his name and give the baby his
last name he was going to a lawyers and
sueing the pants off of them. I hope that
doesn't happen to you. As for your bro.
Don't listening to him. Sometimes they
think are trying to protect but in the
long run they that just hurt you
sometimes. I hoped I helped any. And I
didn't sound like I was judgeing anybody.
I hate when I sound like that and don't
even realize that I am.

No, what you said was great, and thanks.
The unfit mother thing-she meant if
anything should happen to me, like god
forbid, I died, he would get the baby and
not her, I was like "duh" he should get
her, hes her dad.

i know what you mean, chelle. I looked
at a lot of boards that were supposed to
be "support" for girls like us but were
just drama and crap. There's plenty of
people who love to judge us just cuz we're
bringing a baby into the world before they
think we ought to even though they don't
know anything else about us. The girls
on this board are great though! :)
we gotta stick together!! :)

Michelle- things will get better, and soon
you'll have your own place, and your own
little family to worry about. I hope
things get better soon for you. And don't
stress to much

Chelle! Thats .N.U.T.S, why is she even
thinking of that?! Or do they think that
even if you are ok that he'll try to get
sole custody of the baby?

Are you and the dad on good terms? Like
will you be together this whole time?
Because in truth if he did decide to
medical question you over or the baby...
He would have full rights to the baby even
as a bad parent... How the twist to that
is if he signs the birth ceriticate and
screws you over then he has to pay child
support
but over all if your on good terms tell
them to mind their own business
