Why is it that when women/girls are having babies, and they are not married, they more than often don't want to give the baby the father's name? The reasons are always because of not being married (but most are in a relationship with that man), or because he cheated on her, or because it's easier for mom and baby to have the same last name. Why does the father get left out? It's his baby too, so why doesn't he get to have the same last name? Being a boyfriend/husband and a father are 2 different things. Maybe the relationship didnt work out, but doesn't mean that he isn't going to be a good father. Especially with teen girls, they just seem to assume that the father isn't going to be in the picture when they don't know. And everyone makes a point to say the baby belongs to just the mother. They seem to forget that the baby has a dad. I know there are the guys out there that don't want the baby and never do anything to help, or take part in their lives, but many do.
