Baby name disagreement

We are having a son and my husband wants to give the baby his name and have him be a junior. I don’t want that. I want them to have different middle names, and give the baby my father’s middle name. He originally agreed to that, and then changed his mind once he realized that wouldn’t make our son a true jr. Now he is insisting the child take his name. He really wants this. I’m sad that I don’t have a say in this. Am I out of line?

He did tell me I could name every kid after this whatever I want. I suppose it’s a compromise but I don’t even want full say. I want us to pick the names together.

Why do you think you don’t have a say?
His name can be the child’s middle name. Since naming your child is a big deal for the both of you, both should be happy with it.
Also he’s already changed his mind here, I wouldn’t trust that he won’t do it again.

ur son would still be a jr if he has ur husbands first name and a different middle name and ur husband already agreed to this so why is he now changing his mind? possible for u child to have 2 middle names if u can’t decide?

TMI After Baby no.2

This is embarrassing but have any other mammas after 2nd baby had anything similar to this?

Basically since having my second baby I cannot wear any light coloured underwear because I end up with 💩 stains on them. Even if I’ve not gone no.2 that day or whether I’ve thoroughly wiped after it seems like no matter what I do I end up with small stains on my undies. It’s not like I’ve pooped myself or anything but it’s as if I’ve not wiped properly even when I know I have/ haven’t even pooped.

This has never happened to me before and it’s so embarrassing trying to be intimate or feel comfortable in myself.

Should I maybe go to Drs?

I’m 8 months pp and it’s been happening since I gave birth for reference.
