soon2be momma d (1381.6 days ago) BTW - the name is wonderful!!!
soon2be momma d (1381.6 days ago) What an awful situation to be in - my heart goes out to you sweetie! Here is my 2cents. DON`T CHANGE THE NAME! YOUR brother still passed away, you are the one who chose the name (you know that, the father knows that and your baby will know that) and you are the one wanting to honor your brother`s memory. It is really sad she is acting this way. Truly, she and your baby`s father may not last, but your baby will always have his namesake, and also - she may feel threatened by the baby coming and be trying to steal the show. Keep your chin up and know we are all here for you! Don`t do ANYTHING you will regret in the years to come. Good Luck!
gr8scottswife (1382.5 days ago) Can you get away from them? Is he paying child support? If you can totally get him out of your life, I would name the child Josiah Scott (very cute), but if not, I`d name him something else.
mommy2be707 (1382.5 days ago) i think you should keep it if u like it most likely this thing will blow over if not now in a few years and it really wont matter
emy (1382.5 days ago) What a crazy situation! If it were me I would probably change it, but I think you should do what feels right
Christina1984 (1382.5 days ago) if you werent pregnant id say slap lol just kidding. i think she is insecure because of the baby. maybe she feels in her wacko brain that this makes her part of the child. my situation is different.my fiances sons mom is a complete nut job and will do anything to destroy our family and the new baby that is coming, she is making her son hate the baby.some women are just wacked out lol dont let her get to u, just ignore her. remind urself that this is not her baby and she has no connection to it whats so ever.
RobinG (1382.6 days ago) Ditto! :) Plus ~ even if she is a total snot ~ grief is grief and I am sure it does warm her heart inside to know a new little baby will share the same name as her brother, even if not named after him ~ and even if you hate her surely you can see how this would comfort anyone ~ you cant hate her for feeling that it brings her some comfort in grief ~ when we loose a loved one we hold onto any thing that helps us to connect to them ~ it will get old and eventually it will be dropped ~ I`d keep the name :) Maybe spell it differently :) Like Jossiah for example ~
KarenVG (1382.6 days ago) Women in her position are always like that. She is obviously insecure and feels that makeing fun of you etc will make her feel or be better. You know why you chose the name, that is really all that matters. Make yourself better than her and let it go. If they see how it affects you they will not stop so try not to let her know when she irritates you. I hope for your sake you will not have to see much of her in the future, however I guess that depends of the father is an active part of the babies life or not. If he is going to be, you will have to deal with her alot. Just try not to make things nasty, the kid sees it all and just gets stuck in the middle. Try not to be alone with her have someone with you, she may give up on the whole thing. Really who cares what she thinks, she sounds like an idiot!
