over protective mom

Are any ladies dealing with a too involved mother? Mine has no reason to feel how she does, but she is upset that my child will his last name and that i refuse ro put him on child support. My situation is I live with him and pay no bills, he is more than hands on, he is looking for a second job because after baby I am not going back to work until I get my degree.  I dont know what my moms deal is and not sure how to tell her that I am going to handle it my way.Every time I try her response is, "but I thought we already discussed this."

That's weird...personally, I would avoid going the official "child support" route because 1 you'll have to get a lawyer involved (and if you've never dealt with one before you should know that they end up taking a BIG portion of whatever you get) 2 if you officially do get child support, you'll have to claim that as income on taxes....since you said you are going to get your degree, that might interfere with financial aid if you are going for that, and 3 you can always change your mind later if something goes wrong and you move out. It's not like you have to claim it now or forever hold you're peace....

Yep I do, I just had an early m/c and my mom keeps telling me put the iud back in. I'm ttc my 3rd child I'm 25 and married and don't ask her for nothing. I have a younger sister who needs to be told something. So I can relate. Just tell her how you feel.

She is your mom, sound like she really cares,HOWEVER, you are going to have to stand upto here, please don't confuse that with disrespect, IRS a fine line lol. But in the end, its your life and you have to live it and be comfortable with the decisions you make. Your mom may be upset temporarily, ut, like I Saud,  she us your mom. Which means she will get over it. You will much better, one less thing to stress over.

Nope not at all. Like I said she has no reason to feel how she does.

Why would she want you to file for child support if you live with him? Did I miss understand?
