Name-poll poll i have a situation that i need some advice on. i seen a question kinda like this a few days ago but mines a little different. i am 8 months pregnant with a boy. i have planned on naming him josiah scott since the beginning. (scott after my brother that passed away and i love the name josiah). me and the father were not married and he left me and married his ex girlfriend (who harrasses me and just tries to mess with me) out of nowhere. now all of a sudden i found out that she also had a brother that passed away. guess what? his name was josiah. and she thinks that he picked the name after her brother because she says its too much of a coincidence.so now she wont quit `rubbing it in` that he named my baby after her brother. when really im the one who picked the name not him. i dont want her to be able to even think that but i also DO NOT want to change the name...what should i do?please vote or leave a comment

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!

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.

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

What a crazy situation! If it were me I would probably change it, but I think you should do what feels right

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.

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 ~

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!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
