Aa
what to do?
So im getting induced saturday and my dad told me he didnt want my boyfriend to be in the room with me. I told my boyfriend and he got mad saying why and i said my dad thinks we should be married. And now my boyfriend is mad saying why do i let my dad control me. What should i do should i tell my dad that i want him in there or no
Your dad has NO SAY! Whether your are 14 16 18 or 44. Doesn't matter. You are the patient AND parent. Nowhere in the US do they give the parent of a son to be parent the right to call the shots. YOU say who goes in your room. And you can tell them that your own dad is NOT allowed and he can't do anything about it. Not saying that you should do that. But sweetie this is YOUR show. And if you want the father of your child to witness his baby be born, then that is what will happen!
I live in arizona but i will look into it
Yes and in most states ur pretty much emancipated once ur pregnant I believe so u would have say so. I do respect ur .bf for going and talkin to ur dad maybe that'll open his eyes more than u could.
I do to. Im going to tell my dad that i want my boyfriebd in there.
I don't know the specifics of your local laws, but one of my friends had her baby at sixteen. Her mom insisted on being in the room with her, even though she just wanted it to be get and her boyfriend. She ended up so stressed (her mom hates her baby daddy) that she stopped progressing and ended up with a c section! She looked into the laws afterward and found out that she could have had her mother barred from her room. Legally speaking (at least in Utah) she had all rights to that baby, including the right to decide who was present at her birth. Look into it I'd you have time.
Sorry about that. Well I hope they have a good talk. Its his baby too so I hope you all work it out.
You guys make good points.
Thank you that means a lot
I Agree ^ There Are A Lot Of Guys That Don't Want To Take On A Daddy Role Especially At A Young Age So I Think Your Dad Should Be OverJoyed That Your Boyfriend Actually Wants To Be There And Take Responsibility .... Says A Lot For Your boyfriend
Ask ur dad if he would of liked if ur mothers dad said he couldnt be in the room and took that moment from him. Maybe explain that it is your baby and want the father there. I could understand if you and the father were not together. But u guys r together made the baby together and should be able to make this decision also.....best of luck to you.
My boyfriend said he was going to talk to my dad. I dont have a mom.
No problem honey. :) you Do what's best for your child. Let the baby's father be in his/her life. Everything will work out for you. :)
I do. It doesn't matter if this is an ideal situation for your dad. Yes you are 16 and technically a "child" but you guys are going to become parents so it's time your dad let's you two be the adults. I don't feel there is a need for your dad to "punish" you or your bf. What's done is done so its time to accept it.if your bf is accepting his role as being a father then let him be! Have a talk with your dad about it. How bout your mom how does she feel?
Thank you mommikat
Just Tell Your Dad Your Bf Had Just As Much To Do With This Baby As You Did And You Want Him In There period
This is your bf & your baby. Whether Your 16 or not.Not dads decision. Let him be mad, hehe'll get over it & he'll understand. The deed is done. U weren't married when u had sex, so what's the difference? U can try exolaining to him, & maybe he'll come around, but... if not, I would definetly let the Childs father be in the room. Sorry dad.
Thank you for the advice
No its not my dads. Its my boyfriends.
You better man up and tell your dad to back off. You're not married but you're having his baby. Its your choice period. If you're in the hospital and tell them you want your boyfriend there they won't ask your dad because it is your choice. Honestly if I was a guy is leave my gf if she let her dad do that.
Then Tell Him What You Want! This Is YOUR baby Not Your Dads... I Hope! So He Needs To Let You Make Your Mind Up,
Mege26 do you really think so
I do what him inn there but my dad just wont let it happen i feel like i have no control over this. he told me i had to have my sister in there and shes been a big ***** to me since ive been prpregnant
This moment is between you and your bf. I understand where your dad is coming from in a way. At my moms house it doesn't matter what age you are if you are not married you dont sleep in the same room/bed. However, you guys are having a baby. Married or not, this moment should not be taken away from your bf.
If That's What You Want! If Your Uncomfortable With It Then No Don't Have Him In There But If You Want Him To Be Then Let Him... I Always Think About It Like This, If The Shoe Were On The Other Foot And He Were Having This Baby Would I Want Him To Let Me Be There?
