Update: they’re getting divorced. But he’s going to fight for full custody because apparently OP is “conniving and abusive and manipulative”. In my opinion - along with the info at hand - I’m willing to bet he’s parroting his mother.
The reasoning for divorcing his wife is because baby is a girl…fat chance he’ll get hardly any custody. He abandoned a good marriage over a baby’s genitals😂🤦🏼♀️
@@KDawnn Yeah exactly. No sane judge would give this man custody when they hear the reason for the divorce (I’m hoping they get a female judge or a judge that’s a “girl dad”). If I were her, I’d definitely argue that I’m concerned for the baby’s safety since he already abandoned his pregnant wife and baby because of her gender.
Ummmm the sperm decides the gender😂 There’s absolutely no old wives tale that works to get the gender you want. It’s literally just which sperm gets to the egg first. That’s it.
Update: they were fighting for custody but OP won and has full custody now ❤ (she also thanked reddit, as someone there connected her to a great lawyer)
the moment OP mentioned her husband's family making "jokes" that if she got a daughter she wouldn't fit in, i got big red flags vibes. not surprised that his family did turn out to be a bunch of creepy assholes. i am shocked though that the husband sided with them, especially since he didn't even try talking to her about it at all and just left... but at least OP just dodged a huge bullet. hoping her and her daughter grow up to be healthy and happy.
Every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child. This is a perfect example of it. If you can turn your back on a child just because of their gender, orientation, agab, or disabilities, then you don’t deserve to have a child.
The MIL and husband REALLY took all of those old wife's tales super seriously? Like, they're supposed to be fun. There's really no science to them. MIL definitely never liked OP. She probably always hated that OP is rather independent by the sounds of it. I mean, the family seems extremely misogynistic.
We waited to find out the gender until my daughter was born. My MIL was devastated she was a girl and even more so at the name we chose. She made my husband so upset that we ended up changing the name. She made no effort to get to know my daughter over the next year. When we found out we were pregnant again and having a boy, she was so excited. It really made me upset to witness it all.
I wish I could know the conversation he had with his mother! He was excited and was happy about the baby until he got that call. What could she possibly have said to ruin his love for his wife and baby.
He said he wanted a boy to carry on the family legacy and protect their siblings be big and strong and athletic as an older sibling who is a female I have done all those things for my family as a girl gender does not matter the older sibling usually will look out for their younger siblings despite gender that’s just family roles
My mom once told me that when she was pregnant with me before they knew the gender, my dad wanted a boy because of the "Latin tradition", once they confirmed that it was a girl he was still happy, he just wanted a healthy baby. When I asked him if he would have rather gotten a boy, he look at me with a sad face and said "no absolutely not, I would not have had it any other way." In spanish my grandpa says: "Que sali mas ch1ng0n@ que los hombres" lol
Honestly, as bad as it sounds he done her a favour - she doesn't need that toxicity in her or her daughters life. Good riddance, the trash took itself out!
My opinion will always be " if you are going to be actively unhappy with any healthy outcome, you shouldn't be a parent" "if you are not willing to love then unconditionally.. don't go there"
In México, we get two last names, one from each parent. Traditionally, the father’s goes first and the mother’s second. When living in the US, many of us use hyphens because nobody understands and confuses our last names with middle names.
Yeah, same in Spain. Two last names and they never change, even if you marry. The new marriage, when they have kids, they put father's first surname as first and mothers first surname as second. And nowadays it's legal to do it the other way around too.
This is so sad. This must have been a total shock to her!! What a pathetic person. To really let your mother talk u into a divorce over the gender of your child? It's gross! And it proves what kind of human he is. Hopefully his family isn't connected to anyone in the system so that he can't get full custody. With that audacity, I wouldn't be surprised. I wish we knew if his family is wealthy...
Love from Arkansas and from a mom who is still currently dealing with a similar situation if he won't see the harm he will cause to your daughter ( which he will ) You have have to get full custody and let him go I promise you won't regret it in the future
Not an asshole, dont give the baby the father last name. Giving him the last name gives him rights he doesnt need that. They(his family) would probably be rude to her if he gets custody of that baby, since they also hate the mom.
This is crazy, from how OP told the story it seemed like the husband was perfectly fine and still excited to know that they're having a daughter but it's his parents (or just mother?) who brainwashed him and made him leave. Shame on those parents and shame on the ex husband. I just saw the update and yeah he still WAS excited but then he goes to say that he realizes how abusive and whatever OP is and he addresses their baby as "that thing". He said that he didn't want anything to do with it at all but I guess after his mom started spewing more bullshit now they want to fight full custody so he can save his child from OP and he can grow to love her. With that there's NO way he can get custody right? It worries me how they could lie in court though to paint OP out to be the bad one
Wow, that's even worse. Wtf? How, how, how does one person go through that many changes in perspective??? "You're abusive and I don't want that thing!" "Wait! No, you're going to abuse that thing so now it's my daughter and I need to have full custody to protect her from you and maybe I can actually grow to love her"!?!?!? Grow to love her? Like she's the bride in an arranged marriage? Every update is just worse.
Speaking from some experience, she needs to fight for full custody and cut off all contact with that man and his family. Otherwise her daughter is going to be subjected to all kinds of abuse and manipulation. The phrase "you know, you were supposed to be a boy, but your mother interfered" WILL be used at some point, and this poor kid WILL be made to feel like a disappointment.
Wouldn't this be the real joke of a lifetime. He leaves his first wife and then his second has a daughter so they wave it away saying it's his second child but the future children turns out to be ALL GIRLS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most definitely. My dad apparently couldn’t stand the idea of having daughters (my aunt and grandma both said so) and he (self admittedly) doesn’t respect woman, guess what he ended up with? Five daughters, no sons. He’s still bitter about it (even if he doesn’t admit it) and “jokes” all the time about how he doesn’t actually like any of us.
It did not take much convincing at all for the husband to turn on OP... Honestly in that case, she's better off without him because I can only imagine if not this issue, his mom would be looking for another reason to make her son turn on her.
Moms also throw bitch fits when it’s another boy too with gender reveals. I HATE gender reveals so much because of it. If you have any form of preference then don’t do a gender reveal bc you will react poorly if you don’t get the gender you want. Gender disappointed is a NORMAL feeling but it’s something you need to work through privately not at a party and on camera.
Update: for anyone new who’s curious They got a divorce, he went for full custody and lost op got full custody and they have no rights to the baby but still has contact with them this update was two months ago so it may have changed but yeah
If it was that easy to convince the husband to leave the woman he supposedly loved after being happy about having a child, good riddance. P.S. In Spain both surnames are that, surnames. We just have two. Actually the one the parents give the child is their first surname, which happens to be the father's.
When I was with my ex, 6 years together, he would joke that if we ever had kids he only wanted a boy. And his friends used to make jokes about that stuff too and I thought it was crazy that men literally only want boys(obviously not all men). And then they’re disappointed if they get a girl. I never wanted to have kids but I told him I wish if we did have kids I would have a girl and he said “of course we would have a girl, god would love to punish me like that”. Like bro what! Lol
What kind of Henry the 8th witchery is this? Some days I think the world can not be this mental and then I hear things like this and just shake my head. I hope she gets full custody and takes him for every once of money she can get.
This is EXTREMELY SAD I can’t believe they’re making her go through that while she’s pregnant 🥺 hoping op is okay. This is horrible . She deserves better and so does that poor baby.
I’m Mexican and my mom hyphenated our last name so it’s my dads last name first and then my moms but not everyone does this many of my cousins only have their dads last name, I honestly prefer two last names and if I ever get married I would just hyphenate it as well, my mom uses both her married and her maiden name and I will do the same.
I am guessing that this is the case of the guy coming from a very traditional Chinese family. I grew up in Chinese family too. The mom bringing up Chinese calendar system and Chinese beliefs all the time really pointing towards them being one. Hence, probably also why he is so powerless against his mom's words. I can't really say if he was manipulated by his mom to do all these things after being so happy with his daughter at first, but it just felt like that to me. Still not something forgivable though.
I would take that loser to court and also have an order made for the grandmother to never have access as she’s discarded the baby before it’s even born.
Even if it's "not his choice" he let his mother make the decision for him so he is not husband material. I feel sorry for their future daughter. Also I know it hurts. It's a whirlwind of change in a short amount of time but I hope she takes her kid and moces somewhere far away from him.
I don't know if anyone has said this already, but I'm Spanish, and I have two surnames, as most people here, the first one is from- tradicionally, not necessarily- the father and the second one from the mother and you give your children your first surname. So I have as first surname my father's first surname and as second my mother's first surname
My parents actually did predetermine my sex, but even if my dad wanted a boy he knew how important it was to my mom to have a girl so they tried really hard to have a girl. There are ways to do it, but it's very rare to actually do, so it's likely that she just had a girl because she had a girl- its so strange that he didn't like that too, and so misogynistic T-T
Literally unless you were a petri dish baby(no judgement if that's the case) that's not possible. You can wish for whatever gender you want, but the sperm that fertilizes the egg holds the genetic code for the gender. You also can't tell in ultrasounds what the gender is until the fetus reaches a certain developmental stage, all babies look like blobs for the first couple of months. I don't know if you could potentially test tissue from your cervix or something to see if there's a gender marker in the genes or something, but that's not choosing the gender so much as learning what it is. Literally petri dish babies are the only way to choose the gender of your baby.
In Spain we have two surnames, yes. And as many names as we want. Royal family usually uses a lot of names, for example: "Felipe Juan Froilán" are three names and "de Marichalar y Borbón" are two surnames.
I hope that op gets full custody in the divorce because this man does not deserve to have access to this child in my opinion if he's so willing to abandon them over the fact that the child is a girl. What will probably end up happening is that op will move with the baby she'll grow up to be a great person and he's going to want to be a part of her life and he'll have to explain to her why he abandoned their family in the first place and then the daughter can decide if he's worthy to be her dad. Just my prediction.
I'm Cuban/Costa Rican and for us, and I believe other Hispanic cultures as well, we have two last names, actually four but the last two dont tend to be on legal documents. On legal documents, some people will have one last name as a last name while the other as a middle name, some will use both and hyphenate, some with have only one. When I was in school, my last name was only ever my dad's, and then randomly in 11th grade I couldn't login to my student account, turns out it got changed to both last names. Generally a full name will have two last names from each parent, and the order will be: First Name, Dad's Last Name (From his dad), Mom's Last Name (From her dad), Dad's (from his mom), Mom's (From her mom).
Yes so usually in the Latin American countries, the kids take both parents name, and sometimes just the mom's last name. My bf has two last names, his mom's and dad's and he's Filipino.
While I'd perfer a girl and my man perfers a boy first. All we really want is a healthy baby it doesn't matter what gender. Do we root for one sure, do we get disappointed sure, but we will still just as excited yes. Hell yes
NBA fans have lamented Kobe not having a son for many years, so it likely did also happen after his passing. But that was not a sexist, "girl dad" situation. It was out of a wish to see a child of Kobe specifically make it to the NBA. Gianna (rip), wouod have made it to the WNBA.
In order for her to be save i would take this to the extreme. I'd divorce the family and then say i have had a miscariage because of the stress and loss of my marriage. Then have the baby, don't sign his name on the birthcertificate and have a great life with your little girl. Don't have him or anyone of his family near her, or if you ever run into someone of his family just lie " i found a great man, we have this beautiful daughter together" they wouldn't know what a daughter of one their sons looks like anyway.
As they mentioned in the video, I don't know what their culture is, but just to clarify one thing for those who are curious how it's actually like in Spain, taking into account they mentioned something about it hahaha Here you actually have 2 surnames, first the father's and then the mother's. In terms of the name it self, they can have 1 or 2 names (however you prefer), but not more at least that I know of, because for example my father, who is argentinian, had 3 names and then his father's surname, but here he had to change it, so he doesn't have his 3rd name anymore and had to add his mother's surname as well. Another thing I'd like to add but this time from Argentina, is that many years ago once a woman got married to a man it was different to the States, you wouldn't change your surname to your husband's, you would add it at the end this way: "Maria García de Linares". So it's her name "Maria", her surname "García", the preposition "de" -which means "of" in English- and lastly her husband's surname "Linares". I haven't been in Argentina in 20 years, and it seems that this has now changed. Nowadays, either spouse can choose to use the other's surname, with or without the preposition "de."
Is this guy the reincarnation of king Henry the 8th?! The fact he was so quick to divorce her was so planned, the whole family was in on in it. Honestly as crappy as it is she is so better off, why would you want these trash humans in you or your child’s life!
And I would like to add, that I am the first grandchild on both sides of my family, and everyone was overjoyed-not because I was female but because I was new life coming to this world. My dad and grandfathers were never disappointed I was a girl, and in reality they taught me how to play baseball, ride a bike, rock climb, etc. and I know if I had been a boy, it would have been no different. It’s disgusting that there’s still people out in the world who prefer boys over girls
I totally thought that OP would be the a**hole based off the title but no, it's definitely the MIL. I just thought that maybe it was going to go into eugenics or some type of manipulation, or planning on treating the baby as the opposite gender, but she did not predetermine her baby's gender.
I just wanna say, as a man if I was ever to have a baby, I would want a girl they are the most easy going sweet baby’s! I would protect her and they are absolutely amazing 😌
In Spain we have 2 last names: 1 from one parent and 1 from the other parent. Traditionally it was always the father's first and then the mother, except for same-sex marriages (legal since 2005), who could choose the order, for obvious reasons. Since 2017, all parents can decide which last name will go first. But only for the first born, since all the siblings have to have the same last names, so the next babies will get their 2 last names automatically.
In Spain some people have a middle name (it’s not the most common) and we all have two second names, one from the father and the other one from the mother. Usually the father’s last name goes first, however, you can have your mom’s last name first or even only get her names if your dad is not in your life
I pray to God that he doesn’t get full custody because that little girls life would be a living hell. She needs to stick with her mom where she’ll be loved and appreciated. I sorta get “gender disappointment” but get over it.
that poor baby girl is gonna have it rough with her bio father and his family :/ also, i was the 1st girl in my dad's paternal line in 4 generations. my parents didnt even check my sex before i was born because they were POSITIVE i would be a boy. BOOM. i was a girl. my dad never batted an eye nor did his family. they were just happy I existed. (turns out my mother was not bc she partially married my dad bc she didnt want a daughter but we didnt find that out until i was around 9.)
So. My husband's family has their 1st granddaughter 2 years ago. She's the baby of all my nephews. There are 3 boys. While they have wanted a girl for years (my husband only has brother's), they have given the boys absolutely nothing but LOVE. I love all my nephews and my niece. They make me so happy. I cannot believe the audacity of this family to do this over a gender. I want to have my own kids some day. We both would love to have a boy 1st but we would be equally as happy to have a girl, we have had their names picked for years. I feel awful for this mother. Edit: also! There is still a very small chance that this is still a boy. Sometimes the scans are looked at wrong. It's not likely but IMAGINE how more stupid this family would look after that realization.
In Latin America, we have two last names. Your father’s last name and your mother’s last name/maiden name. women, when they get married, usually change their last name to their husband’s
Hahahaha someone needs a fertility doctor to have a conversation with them and she should take them for everything he has as he absolutely deserves it!
Getting hung up on the gender in the first place was the problem here honestly. Their reasons why they each wanted a boy or a girl didn't jive with me. I just feel you should want a child for other reasons then wanting to force a fuck ton of responsibility on them as the eldest or wanting to dress them up and match like they're your dolly. She should definitely move asap and not allow the ex-husband to ever meet that child.
It beyond befuddles me that the Husband would abandon the Original-Poster after all that they have been through. So I am REALLY wondering whether the Mother-in-Law has imprisoned her Son somewhere and done all that Blocking on his Account!!
UGH!!! I hate his family and hubby for being so stupid as to believe in this nonsense! OP needs to call every lawyer in the area so he doesn't have a chance at getting a good one and make sure to get full custody of this child and get as far away from these idiots as possible!!!
Terry Crews is the BEST girl dad! You should look up clips of him talking about his family. Yes the only guy in the house and he embraces and loves it!
I hate when they mention go get a puppy like it's nothing just a animal if he can't take care of his own baby why should someone like that have a puppy
so Morgan mention in the video what culture do they come from- but maybe Chinese? I know the MIL went based of the Chinese calendar and i know in Asian culture the perfer boys first than girls- but I could be wrong. In china rn the population of women is low so there that butttt I could be wrong idk
Morgan What if the mom drugged her son kidnapped him and has him tied up somewhere and is blocking her with his phone Or Maybe I watch too much tv lmao
She demanded to speak to him via MIL’s phone and he agreed that OP was “abusive and manipulative”. And in the update she says she spoke to him (waiting outside his work). He’s not a victim, just a pathetic, misogynistic coward. His mother being the bad influence is irrelevant, he is a grown ass adult, capable of independent thought.
I am puerto rican . I am in New York . I am 24 . My kids have a mix between last names . I have twins (1 is my last name & 1 is bio dad last name) . I had a child after that with a new father & I gave him dads last name . Ages 7,7,3
I would be freaking thrilled if he left. His family seems like a bunch of losers, and if the husband chooses to side with his family over the sex of the baby, he isn’t a man at all. 🤷🏼♀️ Lord forbid they have a boy who wanted to transition. I could absolutely see this “father” bullying the heck out of this child. Only thing I can say is to get divorced, and fight for custody. Hold anything that he or his family have said, and use it against them. Especially his mother, because that’s extremely toxic and unhealthy. Unless the dad doesn’t want custody, mom will most likely have to share. So at least see if you can have it where his parents can’t be there. Or at least the mom. Raise your daughter the best way you can and do not ever allow some idiot to say she’s less because she’s a girl. So, If I followed all the midwives’s tales, I would have a girl right now instead of a boy. Literally, every single one said girl. 😂 Okay. Chinese calendar was accurate at least.
Update: they’re getting divorced. But he’s going to fight for full custody because apparently OP is “conniving and abusive and manipulative”. In my opinion - along with the info at hand - I’m willing to bet he’s parroting his mother.

Update- she won the court case and has full custody!

Oh thank god. I just came for some updates.
Ummmm the sperm decides the gender😂
There’s absolutely no old wives tale that works to get the gender you want. It’s literally just which sperm gets to the egg first. That’s it.

Also just being a first born son doesn't mean they will be the big strong protector type.

I never wanted to have kids but I told him I wish if we did have kids I would have a girl and he said “of course we would have a girl, god would love to punish me like that”. Like bro what! Lol
What kind of Henry the 8th witchery is this? Some days I think the world can not be this mental and then I hear things like this and just shake my head. I hope she gets full custody and takes him for every once of money she can get.
This is EXTREMELY SAD I can’t believe they’re making her go through that while she’s pregnant 🥺 hoping op is okay. This is horrible . She deserves better and so does that poor baby.
I’m Mexican and my mom hyphenated our last name so it’s my dads last name first and then my moms but not everyone does this many of my cousins only have their dads last name, I honestly prefer two last names and if I ever get married I would just hyphenate it as well, my mom uses both her married and her maiden name and I will do the same.
This man can’t and shouldn’t be a father what is wrong with him ??? He’s a man child and his mother is unbelievable 😡
I am guessing that this is the case of the guy coming from a very traditional Chinese family. I grew up in Chinese family too. The mom bringing up Chinese calendar system and Chinese beliefs all the time really pointing towards them being one. Hence, probably also why he is so powerless against his mom's words. I can't really say if he was manipulated by his mom to do all these things after being so happy with his daughter at first, but it just felt like that to me. Still not something forgivable though.
I would take that loser to court and also have an order made for the grandmother to never have access as she’s discarded the baby before it’s even born.
Even if it's "not his choice" he let his mother make the decision for him so he is not husband material. I feel sorry for their future daughter.
Also I know it hurts. It's a whirlwind of change in a short amount of time but I hope she takes her kid and moces somewhere far away from him.
I don't know if anyone has said this already, but I'm Spanish, and I have two surnames, as most people here, the first one is from- tradicionally, not necessarily- the father and the second one from the mother and you give your children your first surname. So I have as first surname my father's first surname and as second my mother's first surname
My parents actually did predetermine my sex, but even if my dad wanted a boy he knew how important it was to my mom to have a girl so they tried really hard to have a girl. There are ways to do it, but it's very rare to actually do, so it's likely that she just had a girl because she had a girl- its so strange that he didn't like that too, and so misogynistic T-T
Literally unless you were a petri dish baby(no judgement if that's the case) that's not possible. You can wish for whatever gender you want, but the sperm that fertilizes the egg holds the genetic code for the gender. You also can't tell in ultrasounds what the gender is until the fetus reaches a certain developmental stage, all babies look like blobs for the first couple of months. I don't know if you could potentially test tissue from your cervix or something to see if there's a gender marker in the genes or something, but that's not choosing the gender so much as learning what it is. Literally petri dish babies are the only way to choose the gender of your baby.
In Spain we have two surnames, yes. And as many names as we want. Royal family usually uses a lot of names, for example: "Felipe Juan Froilán" are three names and "de Marichalar y Borbón" are two surnames.
I hope that op gets full custody in the divorce because this man does not deserve to have access to this child in my opinion if he's so willing to abandon them over the fact that the child is a girl. What will probably end up happening is that op will move with the baby she'll grow up to be a great person and he's going to want to be a part of her life and he'll have to explain to her why he abandoned their family in the first place and then the daughter can decide if he's worthy to be her dad. Just my prediction.
I'm Cuban/Costa Rican and for us, and I believe other Hispanic cultures as well, we have two last names, actually four but the last two dont tend to be on legal documents. On legal documents, some people will have one last name as a last name while the other as a middle name, some will use both and hyphenate, some with have only one. When I was in school, my last name was only ever my dad's, and then randomly in 11th grade I couldn't login to my student account, turns out it got changed to both last names. Generally a full name will have two last names from each parent, and the order will be: First Name, Dad's Last Name (From his dad), Mom's Last Name (From her dad), Dad's (from his mom), Mom's (From her mom).
Holy fuckin..that’s some fucked up shit. Run girl, run!!!
Yes so usually in the Latin American countries, the kids take both parents name, and sometimes just the mom's last name. My bf has two last names, his mom's and dad's and he's Filipino.
While I'd perfer a girl and my man perfers a boy first. All we really want is a healthy baby it doesn't matter what gender. Do we root for one sure, do we get disappointed sure, but we will still just as excited yes. Hell yes
NBA fans have lamented Kobe not having a son for many years, so it likely did also happen after his passing.
But that was not a sexist, "girl dad" situation. It was out of a wish to see a child of Kobe specifically make it to the NBA. Gianna (rip), wouod have made it to the WNBA.
Except what if Kobe’s hypothetical son wanted to be a scientist instead? This is such a weird thing for fans to wish for about sports stars
In order for her to be save i would take this to the extreme.
I'd divorce the family and then say i have had a miscariage because of the stress and loss of my marriage.
Then have the baby, don't sign his name on the birthcertificate and have a great life with your little girl. Don't have him or anyone of his family near her, or if you ever run into someone of his family just lie " i found a great man, we have this beautiful daughter together" they wouldn't know what a daughter of one their sons looks like anyway.
Would love an update on this story. I feel so bad for he and her daughter. This is horrible. I would love to know if she and her daughter are okay.
OP won full custody
As they mentioned in the video, I don't know what their culture is, but just to clarify one thing for those who are curious how it's actually like in Spain, taking into account they mentioned something about it hahaha Here you actually have 2 surnames, first the father's and then the mother's. In terms of the name it self, they can have 1 or 2 names (however you prefer), but not more at least that I know of, because for example my father, who is argentinian, had 3 names and then his father's surname, but here he had to change it, so he doesn't have his 3rd name anymore and had to add his mother's surname as well.
Another thing I'd like to add but this time from Argentina, is that many years ago once a woman got married to a man it was different to the States, you wouldn't change your surname to your husband's, you would add it at the end this way: "Maria García de Linares". So it's her name "Maria", her surname "García", the preposition "de" -which means "of" in English- and lastly her husband's surname "Linares". I haven't been in Argentina in 20 years, and it seems that this has now changed. Nowadays, either spouse can choose to use the other's surname, with or without the preposition "de."
Is this guy the reincarnation of king Henry the 8th?! The fact he was so quick to divorce her was so planned, the whole family was in on in it. Honestly as crappy as it is she is so better off, why would you want these trash humans in you or your child’s life!
And I would like to add, that I am the first grandchild on both sides of my family, and everyone was overjoyed-not because I was female but because I was new life coming to this world. My dad and grandfathers were never disappointed I was a girl, and in reality they taught me how to play baseball, ride a bike, rock climb, etc. and I know if I had been a boy, it would have been no different. It’s disgusting that there’s still people out in the world who prefer boys over girls
I totally thought that OP would be the a**hole based off the title but no, it's definitely the MIL. I just thought that maybe it was going to go into eugenics or some type of manipulation, or planning on treating the baby as the opposite gender, but she did not predetermine her baby's gender.
Oh man I need some updates!!!!
crop the ears? aren’t we over cropping dogs ears
That was my thought… like we’re still doing cropped ears😖
People still remove their newborn’s foreskin, of course people still crop dog’s ears.
I gave her the side eye as soon as she said go to a dog breeder
@@thatonecatlady lowkey thought the same
I hope op got a really good lawyer so her disgusting husband can't get custody
The dad is a coward
I just wanna say, as a man if I was ever to have a baby, I would want a girl they are the most easy going sweet baby’s! I would protect her and they are absolutely amazing 😌
Love from Texas ❤️
In Spain we have 2 last names: 1 from one parent and 1 from the other parent.
Traditionally it was always the father's first and then the mother, except for same-sex marriages (legal since 2005), who could choose the order, for obvious reasons.
Since 2017, all parents can decide which last name will go first. But only for the first born, since all the siblings have to have the same last names, so the next babies will get their 2 last names automatically.
In Spain some people have a middle name (it’s not the most common) and we all have two second names, one from the father and the other one from the mother. Usually the father’s last name goes first, however, you can have your mom’s last name first or even only get her names if your dad is not in your life
If your dad is not in your life you get your mom’s two last names (I hope I’ve explained this right)
I pray to God that he doesn’t get full custody because that little girls life would be a living hell. She needs to stick with her mom where she’ll be loved and appreciated. I sorta get “gender disappointment” but get over it.
MOVE ON !!!! If the mother doesnt like you she'll never like your daughter ... my mother always tell us that 🙄
When I was 8 my Dad fought for full custody. He was awarded it after my mother didn't show up to half the court dates.
that poor baby girl is gonna have it rough with her bio father and his family :/
also, i was the 1st girl in my dad's paternal line in 4 generations. my parents didnt even check my sex before i was born because they were POSITIVE i would be a boy. BOOM. i was a girl. my dad never batted an eye nor did his family. they were just happy I existed. (turns out my mother was not bc she partially married my dad bc she didnt want a daughter but we didnt find that out until i was around 9.)
Did she just say cropped ears? Brought alittle rage in my chest. Are the cropping of dogs ears OK in America? X
people start talking about the Family Name and im out.
Definitely not the asshole! Sending love from Chicago ❤️
He's a grown man who's getting pissy over the gender of the baby
So. My husband's family has their 1st granddaughter 2 years ago. She's the baby of all my nephews. There are 3 boys. While they have wanted a girl for years (my husband only has brother's), they have given the boys absolutely nothing but LOVE. I love all my nephews and my niece. They make me so happy. I cannot believe the audacity of this family to do this over a gender.
I want to have my own kids some day. We both would love to have a boy 1st but we would be equally as happy to have a girl, we have had their names picked for years.
I feel awful for this mother.
Edit: also! There is still a very small chance that this is still a boy. Sometimes the scans are looked at wrong. It's not likely but IMAGINE how more stupid this family would look after that realization.
Lol We did cowgirl in February, now we are expecting a little baby girl for sometime in Nov 😅 maybe there is some truth to that 😂
We did that also but we’re having a boy lol
🤣🤣🤣 that's awesome, congratulations on your little one ❤️
King Henry VIII Behaviour
Oh no oh no. Is the husband's family Filipino? My mom legit believes in the positioning thing...but she isn't a misogynist TG
In Latin America, we have two last names. Your father’s last name and your mother’s last name/maiden name. women, when they get married, usually change their last name to their husband’s
Hahahaha someone needs a fertility doctor to have a conversation with them and she should take them for everything he has as he absolutely deserves it!
Getting hung up on the gender in the first place was the problem here honestly. Their reasons why they each wanted a boy or a girl didn't jive with me. I just feel you should want a child for other reasons then wanting to force a fuck ton of responsibility on them as the eldest or wanting to dress them up and match like they're your dolly.
She should definitely move asap and not allow the ex-husband to ever meet that child.
You also do not want a dad/family like that for a boy, so luckily her first pregnancy is already a girl!
i’ve been to a general reveal and the mom got mad about having a girl
This is some king henry shit
Hope we get another update….
He doesn't deserve a puppy either
It beyond befuddles me that the Husband would abandon the Original-Poster after all that they have been through. So I am REALLY wondering whether the Mother-in-Law has imprisoned her Son somewhere and done all that Blocking on his Account!!
UGH!!! I hate his family and hubby for being so stupid as to believe in this nonsense! OP needs to call every lawyer in the area so he doesn't have a chance at getting a good one and make sure to get full custody of this child and get as far away from these idiots as possible!!!
Move across the country so that the baby's home state isn't the same state.
Terry Crews is the BEST girl dad! You should look up clips of him talking about his family. Yes the only guy in the house and he embraces and loves it!
I hate when they mention go get a puppy like it's nothing just a animal if he can't take care of his own baby why should someone like that have a puppy
so Morgan mention in the video what culture do they come from- but maybe Chinese? I know the MIL went based of the Chinese calendar and i know in Asian culture the perfer boys first than girls- but I could be wrong. In china rn the population of women is low so there that butttt I could be wrong idk
My heart is breaking for this woman. This is so unjust. And her (ex)husband is a horrible person.
Henry the 8th, is that you?
I'm brazilian and I have 3 last names, two from my mother's parents and one from my father's dad
This is giving me Henry VIII vibes
Loool cowgirl in middle of feb... That might be how i have a daughter.
Well apparently I was supposed to be a boy according to Chinese calendar sooooo
The "husband" and his family are so toxic...
The pure lack of biological knowledge lmao
Morgan What if the mom drugged her son kidnapped him and has him tied up somewhere and is blocking her with his phone
Or Maybe I watch too much tv lmao
She demanded to speak to him via MIL’s phone and he agreed that OP was “abusive and manipulative”. And in the update she says she spoke to him (waiting outside his work). He’s not a victim, just a pathetic, misogynistic coward. His mother being the bad influence is irrelevant, he is a grown ass adult, capable of independent thought.
Info: what the f?
What you said about Spain isn’t true. We get two last names the fathers last name goes first always
I am puerto rican . I am in New York . I am 24 . My kids have a mix between last names . I have twins (1 is my last name & 1 is bio dad last name) . I had a child after that with a new father & I gave him dads last name . Ages 7,7,3
I would be freaking thrilled if he left. His family seems like a bunch of losers, and if the husband chooses to side with his family over the sex of the baby, he isn’t a man at all. 🤷🏼♀️ Lord forbid they have a boy who wanted to transition. I could absolutely see this “father” bullying the heck out of this child. Only thing I can say is to get divorced, and fight for custody. Hold anything that he or his family have said, and use it against them. Especially his mother, because that’s extremely toxic and unhealthy. Unless the dad doesn’t want custody, mom will most likely have to share. So at least see if you can have it where his parents can’t be there. Or at least the mom.
Raise your daughter the best way you can and do not ever allow some idiot to say she’s less because she’s a girl.
So,
If I followed all the midwives’s tales, I would have a girl right now instead of a boy. Literally, every single one said girl. 😂 Okay. Chinese calendar was accurate at least.
If she wants to move she needs to do it before giving birth. If not she'll be stuck there.
