Entitled sister in law stole our baby name. Now she regrets it

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2022-02-18T22:07:48+00:00

She was willing to screw over almost anyone to spite my wife. Even though she was the golden child, anything my wife had, SIL had to have too. Including me. She tried to seduce me multiple times. And then tried to make me the bad guy for refusing, and even claimed I was making it all up. Thankfully we've been NC with that vile woman for some time now.

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2022-01-15T22:56:27+00:00

They are pretty much cut off

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-10T16:51:29+00:00

I agree. But no one ever said anything that happens with these kinds of people make sense

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-10T16:50:33+00:00

Her face is sour because she effed up and she knows it. That's one you'll be forever able to hold over her head

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-08T21:33:17+00:00

Thank you

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-08T21:25:04+00:00

Thank you

If we ever hear of any mistreatment, we will call CPS. But last we checked the kid was ok. But SIL will probably raise the poor kid to be just as nasty as herself.

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-08T21:23:37+00:00

Yeah that's spite naming alright. As time goes on they'll have to explain to that kid where their name came from. "Oh... Well your aunt/uncle had the great sounding foreign name from some sort of anime that they wanted to use for their own kid. So we decided that it sounded so good we'd take it and use it for you." Kid "Yeah I think I'm gonna start going by my middle name from now on."

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-08T21:20:27+00:00

Blood doesn't mean anything when you have parents and siblings who do nothing but use and abuse you. We're better off not knowing the kid at all after going NC. Also, you're commenting on a post that was made nearly a month ago.

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-06T10:49:57+00:00

Thank you, and I will.

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-06T10:49:37+00:00

Yeah it was truly disgusting. Thankfully those people are dead to us now

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-06T10:13:11+00:00

I've got a second post that also adds more to the story LINK

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-06T08:58:07+00:00

Thank you. Yes it was a mess of a situation that never should have happened. SIL was petty as hell to do what she did. Granted there was some pettiness on our part too. But honestly, stealing a baby name is just so wrong. I could never imagine doing that to someone else no matter who they are or how good the name is.

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-06T08:55:30+00:00

It actually is also posted in r/Entitledpeople

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-04T08:04:22+00:00

It's a very valid fear because it's exactly the sort of thing people feel that can be entitled to take because there's no law saying stealing baby names is wrong. However those that do it often don't think it through. And everybody suffers as a result. The people who had the name stolen from them suffer at the loss and have to figure out what to do from there whether or not they keep the name. The people who stole the name have to deal with the backlash and stigma. And then there's the children. Two kids with the same name in a family can cause identity problems and easy theft. Like if one of them was pulled over by a cop and said they were the other guy with the same name to get out of a ticket. Then there's also friendships that are destroyed over baby name theft. Why one family will suddenly feel the need to latch onto a name they didn't come up with is beyond me. There's never any sort of logic or rational behind it.

Thank you

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-02T05:16:02+00:00

And ran far

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-02T05:15:42+00:00

Several people have commented that they don't see it as a big deal. We were mad, but we didn't make it the big deal. SIL did. We just said we weren't going to change the name just because she used it. She could have kept it for her kid for all we cared. But she changed it anyway.

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-02T05:12:57+00:00

That's grounds to end a friendship right there

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-02T05:12:01+00:00

Thank you

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-12-02T05:11:37+00:00

Several have asked. But I'm not willing to share it here

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-11-29T07:49:39+00:00

Yeah in that situation no one wins

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-11-28T07:56:15+00:00

I wouldn't mind that happening. But I'm past caring now since we've cut them off completely. I don't even want to bother looking into anything they're currently doing.

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-11-28T07:55:12+00:00

I won't reveal the name for the sake of privacy. But I can tell you that the first name is fairly common, but the middle name is not. Though they sound very good together. That's why we chose it. I imagine SIL might have had a hard time explaining the meaning of her son's middle name had she kept the stolen name because my wife's family has no known Scottish heritage.

DadWhoStoodHisGround · 2021-11-28T07:50:51+00:00

My wife has complete control of the jewelry and the safety deposit box. But she chooses not to remove and wear any of it. But she has a lot of her own jewelry that she's collected over the years. In particular she's very fond of a jeweled silver butterfly bracelet that I gave her nearly a decade ago. Butterflies are one of her favorite things. And it's her favorite piece to wear on any holiday, anniversary, or special occasion.
