Naming of baby

[Omacastrop]

So here is the story: my daughter & her boyfriend decided to get married. 2 weeks later she found out she was pregnant. The boyfriends family wanted them to name the baby 1 thing and at the time my daughter agreed.  Then she finds out boyfriend cheated on her & she broke up with him & called off the wedding. When she found out she was having a girl, she went to the father of the baby & said I don't want to name her the original name his family came up with. So together they came up with a name they could both agree on. Well a few days ago his grandmother calls me & is mad bc my daughter doesn't want to use the family name. I told her this is my daughters child & ur grandsons child they get to name it, not u, not me! I have a feeling sh** is gonna joy the fan again when she find out my daughter is giving her daughter, her last name & not the fathers. Lol we have told these ppl constantly that they are more than welcome to come to our house after baby comes to hang out & get to know her, etc & that we will bring her over to deere them. However, the baby won't be allowed to be anywhere without her mommy bc of breastfeeding. They say pump we can give her bottles, my daughter says no, I don't want her to have bottles. - I understand where she is coming from, but maybe thats bc I'm her mom lol. So anyways her baby shower is today, wish us luck that it doesn't break out into a fight:)

I say doesnt matter if the farther agrees on the babies name, he should of thought about that b4 he cheated. Now the rest of his family have to suffer the consiquence.

You're a great mom for supporting her. My mom is the same way witj me. Im 22just weeks and thw father is not around except to tell that he should be able to name the baby cuz he is the father and we are having a boy...i guess somehow he came up with thw rationale that thats why he should be able to name.him lol
I just laughed. To me he only wants to be involved in the decisions that matter to.him....thats the only thing he has had an opinion about. Her exs family can get over it. Its her choice in the end of how she eants to.feed her child because guess what shes the one pushing her out and shes the food source so they dont have any rights to tell her qhat to do in the least. Just like im gonna breast feed and not bottle feed. Thats my choice. No one can make her do any different.

So the baby shower went well- the grandmother of baby's dad didn't even bother showing up! No one on his side of the family did. I guess they are really pissed abt the name change lol. I will protect my daughter with my life, if anyone tries to mess with her or my granddaughter:) if these ppl are this hard to deal with now, I can't wait for Mikahla to be born lol

Maybe his side of the family needs to see what hormones and annoying people can do to pregnant woman lol. Let her loose on them :) Maybe they will get the message lol.

Haha your such a good mom to your daughter. Just stick to your guns about this issue, the reality is theres nothing they can do about the situation. Shes not denying anyone access to see the baby, so they just have to deal. if your daughter does not want to use bottles, then guess what, thats just the way it has to be because shes the milk supplier.(lol). Good luck with the shower and always stand your ground.

It's funny he will agree with my daughter then turn around & tell his grandma he didn't know anything abt it. I realize he is just trying to keep himself out of trouble with his grandma, while throwing my family under the bus lol. The way my daughter sees it, they don't have a lot of say so where baby is concerned since she is the 1 carrying her for 9 months & going through everything. I agree. That family doesn't realize that I've been making my daughter be nice for the last 7 months to try & keep the peace. They do not want me to unleash the pregnant beasts on them lol

Good luck today :) But I completely agree with you. It's your daughter's baby and if her and the babys father decided on a name that they both like then that's the name they should use. I say let them get mad all they want. Don't let them try to convince your daughter to pump or guilt her into anything she doesn't want to do. If they choose not to come over to see the baby, that's their fault, at least you were nice enough to allow them to come over into your home to visit. How does the babys father feel about all this? Does he agree with your daughter and her decisions or is he taking sides with his family?
