Unfortunately I am in a sticky situation where I cant afford to move out and rent privately so I dont have the luxury of sorting a nursery
and as for names, we are stuck. OH doesnt want a traditional white name and I dont want a typical black name. Its not a topic we have thought much about - surprisingly! x
I know how you feel.
I may or may not have a nursery.
I'm in the process of finding an apartment right now. But to save money, I may have to settle for a two bedroom apartment, which means baby will be sleeping with me in my room, BUT I will set up half of the room as babies. So I'll decorate it as if it's hers.
The FOB and I can't come up with names that we agree on either.
He wants a traditional family name, which I don't like at all. I want the baby to have her own name.
If it was a boy he wanted him to be called Joseph. I personally don't like that name, but it is his name, his fathers name, his grandfathers name, my brothers name and my aunts name...
so you might be able to see why I wouldn't want to name the baby that.
THEN, He wanted to name our baby girl after his mother who passed away last year... I can understand that... sadly I don't care for the name but I wanted to respect his mother.
BUT I recently found out he was still cheating on me... and I haven't talked to him in about 3 weeks. & he keeps claiming that I got pregnant on purpose, and he hasn't helped one bit with getting baby stuff. He wouldn't even help me go pick up a free crib one day since he has a truck. So I'm in a pickle, and don't know what i should do. Should I still respect the name of his mom? It's not like it's her fault that he acts this way. I've never met her, and I really don't see him being in her life. Just wondering if, by me giving her his moms name, will just continue to bring me heartache from memory... blah. I don't know. :/
didn't mean to get emotional. No body likes to hear someone elses sad story. lol.
