What's In A Name?

My Lil Pixie was the most amazing thing, I had ever been blessed with, and man o man, nothing makes you feel important (in the responsible for another lil human bean, sense) then having a newborn.

After me and the baby were released from the hospital, the Moron took a little bit of (paid) time off work.  I think he was really feeling awkward at this new little thing taking my time, energy and attention.

The Moron was NOT happy about all the crying at nightime, either.  After being up for 4 days straight, I took him up on his offer to stay up with her in the night - thank goodness I never really slept, as I had to rescue her - I thought he was really gonna lose it!

But what the Moron found, was how much attention he got when he took the lil Pixie to town!  He hit the jackpot there!

I would sometimes wake up to find the lil Pixie and him gone, not knowing when they would come back. No wonder he was pushing me to pump my milk, so he could be part of the feeding experience.

I had kept my maiden name (perhaps my inner self just knew) but he had said that he didn't care whose last name she had (although was adamant about if it was a boy it would be his).  In the hospital the babies are always named baby "insert mother's last name here" .

At the lil Pixie's first doctor's appointment, she was called by baby "   ".  The Moron freaked. He truly scared me that day.  The nurse was shocked, and recoiled in horror, as he swung the computer around, he made her change it to his last name.

From that point on - the Moron made a point to let me know that she was not mine, but his...

If only they would focus on the bigger things right? Like life long commitment to family. Hmm. Waiting to hear more.

The night crying is what did my "moron" into- My little Bug and I were actually locked out of our bedroom on several occasions after he threw out diapers, wipes and blankets at me of course- yeash.

PS new to reading your blog-LOVE it!

Just found your blog through Blog Frog. So glad you were strong, and were able to keep your humor through your horrible experience with the Moron.

What's Lil Pixie's legal name? I know it's not easy to change a child's name - it's not part of the divorce proceedings, at least not in the US but I do know a number of mothers who've had their child's name changed to include their name.

I have looked into it, but I must get permission from the Moron to do it, and we all know what he is gonna say - which means another court battle. Maybe will do another day, for now I am picking my battles...

Well, it came and went :) But looking back I am able to get a lot of clarity! Thanks for stopping by, hope you read the rest of the story...

Yeah, they are sure lacking the emotional side, aren't they. Truth be known though, it is their loss, for it is in those times where bonding happens.

I think that they lack the emotional maturity and stability for that...
