Baby's last name

[newmommy10_06]

The dad and I aren't getting along. We've been together for seven years and this is our first kid and all of a sudden hell decides to break loose with us. I was going to give my son my last name but now I'm thinking if I should give him his father's last name?? I want to do what's best for my son. Any suggestions moms??

Hun my bd hasnt been there for me at all. We dont get along. We broke up months ago. And im not giving my son his last name. . . .but unfortunately the dad can take it to court and get it changed. So just be aware of that.

It's definitely up to you hun. I just had my daughter almost 6 weeks ago and she doesn't have her dads or my last name she has my fathers last name. Before I had her we hadn't been together the entire pregnancy but ended up getting back together two days after she was born and now we're living together and talking about getting engaged. But I still gave her Melton as her last name not Claridge which is his or Mills which is mine. He was upset a little but he has no room to get mad because she doesn't even have my last name which was the point.

If he deserves to have his baby carry on his last name then yea u should but he has to b there for u throughout the whole pregnancy, show up to every drs appt , help buy baby things , even f hes not n a relationship with u he should still do his father duties while your carrying his baby...u kno wat I mean? The men or should I say boys that aren't there for their babymammas and dont care bout showing up to a dr appt but xpect to b there for the birth of the baby ,those are the ones that dont deserve to have they're baby carry on there last name !
