It’s out of your hands girl. Trust that your brother will do what he needs to do when the baby arrives.

You can mind your very likely biased business until she does something to actually endanger her child that you can prove. (I don’t agree with the tattoo but also not likely to help any argument for the child’s safety when said child isn’t here.)

As good as your intentions may be, that’s your brothers job , unless it becomes a case of abuse where you can report it to the officials and take your niece or nephew in if it ever came to that point

Sadly, you can’t. Your brother is going to have to make his own decisions and you have to just be there and support him.

Nothing, it’s not illegal to get a tattoo when your pregnant it’s just not recommended if your brother is concerned for HIS child then he will take care of it.

As a sister in law mind your damn business :joy::person_facepalming:

Stay in your lane. If your brother is with her and loves her and Is having a baby….it’s not your place or business to get involved or voice your personal feeling about thier relationship….how you treat his family is a reflection of how you feel and respect your brother. Tread lightly. Be a good human and sister.

unfortunately we can’t control other people however you can file a report to the state about the welfare of the child if you have a legit concern for the babies health or safety and they can investigate

You can’t and til this baby is born and your brother takes her to court depending on what state y’all are in the mother has full custody if they aren’t married so technically she can make any and all decisions and rules about the baby as she pleases and y’all gonna just have to suck it up . I don’t agree with the tat while pregnant but unless she were to cause harm to this baby then you can’t do squat lol

She can decide whatever she wants for her child

If your state has a responsible father registry, he should put himself on it now. He also should file for paternity and 50/50 shared parenting as soon as the baby is born. Then, it’s up to the two of them to decide how to parent and move forward. He needs to protect his rights from day one though.

It is “HER” baby. Have your fucking own and leave her alone. I bet your insufferable. Leave that new momma alone, your brother probably ain’t shit. Lol

I’d talk with your brother and express your concerns. He does have a say in the matter, might just has to wait til their child is born.

Keep notes of everything (every detail!) and take pictures for physical evidence (if you can!)

Continue to support your brother but understand, always complaining or bringing up the subject may put a wedge between you guys so maybe try “watching from the shadows” while being supportive.

Not saying be fake, just talking from experience.

Praying for all involved in the situation & hope things get better! :heartpulse:

I totally get your concern. Because the child will also be your niece/nephew, but unfortunately other than being there for your brother, that’s about all you can do. And it sounds like if you push any harder, you might ending up putting your brother in a position to choose her or you. I’d suggest trying to get over how you feel about her, and try to be the bigger person so you can keep them in your life.

You can’t do anything because it isn’t your child and you have no say. Like it or not, the only ones that have a say are the parents. With that said, your brother had enough balls to get her pregnant, he needs to have enough balls to speak up about THEIR child.

Once the child is here, if she is harmful or neglectful, you can file a report with CPS, but her not liking you, isn’t a reason. If that baby is fed, clothed and taken care of, there isn’t anything you can do to force her to let you or your family see the child.

There is nothing that you can do. It is HER child not yours to protect. There is nothing wrong with getting a tattoo while pregnant. Tattoos get infected even when you are not pregnant. You should back off and let your brother and his baby mamma handle decisions with their child.

i smoked some weed during my pregnancy to help with sickness. not saying it’s ok, but it in no way determines how i raise my son or weather i’m a good parent or not.

yes she got a tattoo and no it’s not recommended. but that does not mean she will not love and care for her child. it doesn’t mean she will be a bad parent.

I would help my brother get a lawyer if he is not with her and file for his rights as a father, then she can’t control when and where his sees his child. A child is 50/50 not 100% what the moms says

You can’t do anything.
It is •her• child.
She can do what she wants.

Also I wanna add another comment. They baby is not even born and you’re already coming up with reasons why this woman is a shitty parent and doesn’t deserve her child before she’s even a parent you sound like you have some issues going on internally too

Sorry are you the mother? Are you carrying this baby? Did you help create it? If the answer to all 3 questions is no then off you pop sweetheart. Her Child her rules respect them or loose everything

You can’t do anything. Stay quiet and pretend your ass off. If you alienate her you’re out

Lord…you act like this baby is yours. The best thing you can do for you and the baby is, be nice. Learn her rules for her baby, and abide by them. Sure the tattoo was stupid, but we all aren’t Einstein all the time.

Yeah I’m not one of these stay in your lane type people. I am however a put up or shut up type person. If this was me, I’d stay involved. Yep in agreement that the tattoo might not have been a great idea, but it’s not like she downed a bottle of Jack’s. Maybe be available for help if asked or needed, be supportive of her. You want to have a positive connection if you want to stay in that baby’s life. You never know, you may find you have something in common? Try not to judge, this is a new world to her.

I think u need to grow up and mind your business tbh it’s not your baby it’s your brothers and if u sont like the rules that’s too bad . Seems like u resent her based on stupidity ( except the tattoo ) she may have wanted the tattoo but it’s the tattoos place job to ask these questions and tats can get infected preg or not !
If I was her I’d hide the baby from u

It’s not your place at this point. If…IF at anytime the child is in danger of any kind from the mother, THEN you step in. As for “rules” or what not, if your brother doesn’t agree with the rules he needs to grow a pair and speak up. This is his child as well and they should be on the same page.

Why do you think you can lay claim to a child that isn’t yours? Her baby her rules. It’s best to try and be nice and make an effort with her because she will be the one dictating what kind of if any relationship you have with that child. Your title doesn’t mean your entitled.

That is HER child. You have absolutely 0 say. She has clearly established boundaries and you do need to respect them. As far as the tattoo while pregnant goes, while it isn’t totally recommended - there are women that get tattoos while pregnant. Her getting an infection because of the tattoo it could’ve happened because her hormones from the pregnancy can reject the ink.

Honestly you just need to stay in your place and respect the boundaries established whether you agree or not. Your “title” to this baby does not entitle you to the baby.

You seek legal advise as the father has rights. You also document everything. If they are separated tell your brother to do a parenting course this will more than likely be a requirement if he wants sheared care.

I love how this post is not going the way she was expecting . I’ll admit the tattoo sounds dumb . But she sounds young and dumb. Probably her first child . Be her friend . Guide her , help her there are so many things you can do to be there for her . Shes allowed to make rules an expectations for people around her child .
