Anybody that sends me 25 messages in one night is getting “No” for answer. And I sure don’t want them raising a kid. She sounds unstable.

Ignoring all of that, no, I would not give my mom an egg to have another kid. That’s just weird.

Just tell him. You won’t be able to move forward until he knows.

It shouldn’t distract the therapist. They usually have a white noise machine outside their door and would be used to it. Also, a lot of headsets and meeting apps filter out background noise. My friend and I use Google Meet for weekly chats and I can’t even hear her dog bark when they’re in the same room.

If you have an old radio, tv, computer, or some other device you can play white noise on, just put that by your door. You don’t need a special machine. I’d actually keep it inside your room so your gf can’t move it or “accidentally” turn it off.

If your wife is worried about paperwork, she needs to know that this name change will follow your daughter around (assuming you live in the US). Any time you do anything “official” like buy a house or get a passport, you have to to list other names you have gone by. In many states parents are require to list their birth name on the new baby’s birth certificate. It will get even more cumbersome if your daughter changes her name again due to marriage or something else.
