I really hate to sound rude or anything, but I'm gonna play devils advocate and say it sounds unreasonable to get jealous or upset I understand the constantly being compared thing could get annoying, but they can't help the fact they have already had a child. And it is difficult to understand if you don't already have a kid but I think it's impossible to love one of them more, it doesn't work that way. About the name thing you shouldn't name your kid something you hate but to be against something because of jealousy is immature and having an issue with it makes it an issue when it doesn't have to be. Having your children have the same initials is something people do because they thinks is neat or special or whatever..  If anything it says he's embracing and is excited about the newest edition to the family.

Lynn5x3... My bf also compares me to his ex and it makes me mad and he also compares our baby to his daughter which makes me even more mad and i know i shouldnt get jealous because his daughter has no fault on this but i wanted my baby to be his first and sometimes i feel hes gonna love more his daughter and compare her to my baby and thats gonna be a problem and about the Y problem i love the name he picked out but i hate the fact that starts with. a Y...good luck to all you ladies and thanks for sharing your opinion

completely understand!!! my boyfriend has a son with another woman so hes already been through the pregnancy too.. it got to the point where he was constantly compairing me and my pregnancy to his exs that i snapped. I told him to stop ruining it for me just cuz he thinks he knows everything he doesnt im not her and I NEVER will be so stop compairing me to her. just because this or that happened to her doesnt mean it will happen for me or even close to the same way.. yeah he stopped lol But if you dont want your child having the same initial or a close name to his other one then dont do it.. ive always said if you have any doubt dont do it. you need to have a say in what you want your baby named and if you dont like the Y idea then name him something else.. hell get over it its not all about him

My fiance has a 10 year old daughter, he was 17 when she was born so he says he doesn't remember much about how to care for babies. I get annoyed because I think he's playing possum on me. I haven't cared for a baby since my 16 year old brother was born but I most certainly remember how to do stuff. I know how you feel when you think about your man having a baby with someone else, it feels like it ruins it because its your first time and you want it to be his also. Anyhow don't name the baby the same letter as his other baby. His baby mama might think you are weird or trying to be like her or something. Its YOUR baby, pick a name you like.

I'm with u ladies on this one kinda my fiancée has a 4yo daughter and I'm 35 weeks preggers with my first child that just so happens to be a girl as well.. I was so hoping for a boy just so it could be different.. my little stepdaughters mom turns the little girl into a major pain in the butt by telling her to come over here and throw fits and act rude so my hands are already full but knowing all this stuff is new to me but not to him ***** but its also nice knowing I have someone to talk to and he is very supportive so that I think helps me too I dunno I guess u can say sometimes it feels like a blessing sometimes it feels like a curse lol good luck to u ladies :-)

Ugh finally someone I can relate too!! I hate that I get jealous because he has another daughter but it does suck to know that he knows more and we can't learn together like Tasha said.
But about the name situation I personally wouldn't want to name my kid almost the same as my husbands other kid. I think I would get more jealous lol

I understand. My fiancee doesnt talk about how he wants to name it with the same letter. But his ex girlfriend was pregnant with a diffrent guys baby when they were together and he took care of the baby for a few months untill they broke up. I get jealous now because he knows more about.pregnancy and babies than I do and ill tell him somethin n hell be all like I know. And it makes me so mad because im learning.from him and always will be and we wont be learning together. It ***** :( I am always jealous of it!
