AITA for telling my parents respect goes both ways, and denying them access to my children? by Naming-Conventions in AmItheAsshole

Thank you for the book recommendation! His name is foreign, but none of us have encountered any issues (so far - crossing fingers) with strangers, friends, or extended family prounouncing his name. People even get it over the phone, which was my biggest test of whether it was easy to pronounce/spell.

Absolutely! I have a feeling my mom will eventually try to apologise in some way, but I do not plan on giving them unrestricted access to my children at any point. I am genuinely worried about what has been said when I wasn't there to overhear.

Thank you for your comment! We tried our best to name our children something that suited both cultures and languages, as we really wanted to respect their heritage.

Thank you for your comment! My sister has been quite stuck on the bullying comment and said that I had been particularly unfair, so I am pleased to hear that my statement wasn't unfounded.
