My daughter is 19 weeks pregnant with her first baby her and baby dad split up due to controlling behaviour and she was shown messages from his ex asking for nudes and when she said but ur girlfriend is asleep next to you his reply was the bathroom is empty and everyone is asleep. They was living at his house but when daughter found out she was pregnant she moved bk home as they never had food in live off take away and Alcohol all week Inc teenage siblingsand that's not how my daughter wanted to bring her child up. Fast forward to now mother and myself agree that further contact was via me and her due to the lad threatening that if daughter didn't get bk with him he would un alive himself the stress got to much when the mother was phoning each of us saying the other said such and such ! I keep everything in text now and after receiving texts asking if baby is hurting or what day and time is next scan which they have already been told my daughter does not want him there fir scans after the first one he told her he wanted to be in his bed he was tired ! I have made sure I sent scan pics and updated her on due date but still I get message after message calls we spoke to daughters midwife who advised us block them all . The mother of kid now demanding his name on birth certificate and baby has his surname to which my daughter already told him no to. The mother for the lad wants 50/50 custody even tho my daughter is wanting to breastfeed and they live over hour n half away 2 buses and a train each way! My daughters worry is they drink loads no money for shopping and what if they can't afford to bring baby back. The lads not as interested as the mother and his sister who are ones doing all calls n text.any advice would be amazing please just to add my daughter and her ex are 17 will be 18 by time baby is here and his mother encouraged and brought ovulation kits to help this happen which I feel was irresponsible of her due to neither having a job or any income.

I highly doubt they'd give 50/50 custody to a grandmother. I'd ignore her completely and not respond not even once. Block her on everything. Never hand the baby over to her, you owe her nothing. If she was more reasonable your daughter would no doubt try to facilitate a relationship but I wouldn't trust her. If it comes to it any visits on your territory and always supervised. Don't give an inch on these boundaries.

I would tell her if he has changed and grown up he has your number to make contact. Then block her. Baby should have your daughter's surname and your daughter would be unable to add the Dad to the birth certificate without him attending the appointment. I wouldn't advise adding him as it gives parental responsibility and control over your daughter. Yes he can add his name later through court, but he would have to grow up and show willing to do this.
