monkeyjrsmom (1144.9 days ago) i read your story and if i were you i`d use my own last name. i mean you`re not with him anymore. its a personal choice though, and you do realize there is always the choice of a hyphen... its completely your decision and whatever you feel is right is what you should do. no matter what anyone else thinks. good luck.
RobinG (1146.1 days ago) Unless he is relinquishing his parental rights I have always supported the BD name. Just because you are not with him doesnt mean he will not be a good dad to his child. If he is planning to not be involved at all that is different. Perhaps give him both names and hyphen it :)
babypie (1146.1 days ago) I was with my son`s father for 7 years-been apart for 3 and even though he is still in my son`s life I wish I`d given my son My last name-I`m the one who has done the parenting and it bothers me that my son and I don`t share the same last name.
