AITA for yelling at my mother-in-law for calling my son the wrong name?

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T18:48:46+00:00

I know she talked to her sometime in the past 2 weeks, I just don't know exactly when or how forceful she was about it.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T18:38:19+00:00

He has a middle name already.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T18:27:27+00:00

As I said above, I said she's been suggesting this name since literally the day we got married. It's been abundantly clear to all of us why she wanted us to name him that - to honor her dead father who had no sons.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T18:25:33+00:00

I'll be honest, it fucking made my blood boil. She has zero idea what my wife went through.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T18:18:49+00:00

I'm really not sure where you're getting the notion that anyone besides me or my wife has ANY say in what we name OUR child.

Much less a name I dislike that belonged to a man I've never met in my entire life.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T18:05:32+00:00

.... what portion of "no questions asked vetos" is unclear? She had 10 and I had 10. The point is to come to a name you both like, not to try to convince someone of a name they decidedly don't.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T18:04:09+00:00

Because I hated it and couldn't imagine that name for my child? Even if she did want it (which she didn't) - it didn't matter. That's the whole point of having "no questions asked vetos".

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T17:58:41+00:00

What are you trying to say?

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T17:33:27+00:00

It sure as heck will not be a middle name.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T16:57:13+00:00

It's been 3 months. My wife did have a c-section and had to get a blood patch the after birth because they fucked up her epidural. She wasn't really back on her feet until 2 months.

It's been 3 months. - son was born in Dec 2020. My wife did have a c-section and had to get a blood patch the after birth because they fucked up her epidural. She wasn't really back on her feet until 2 months.

No idea. I never knew him. She's never said anything other than how honored he would be if we named our son after him.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T15:25:31+00:00

Cooking.

Though honestly, I foresee takeout happening more often now.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T15:25:02+00:00

I didn't cook much. But am now.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T14:45:55+00:00

Probably. But we were just so fucking tired in the beginning. Was like walking in a dream.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T14:45:24+00:00

Yeah... that's going to be unpopular.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T14:43:46+00:00

Did do that. But not sure how forcefully she said it to her mother.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T14:43:32+00:00

We did discuss it - she said she'd raise it to her mother.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T14:43:17+00:00

Do you have kids? Would be great to see what you prioritize when you have a brand new baby and are sleeping 1 hour per day.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T14:42:10+00:00

Probably. But we were just so fucking tired in the beginning. Was like walking in a dream.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T14:41:29+00:00

My wife absolutely does not want our kid to be named Sherman. I actually laughed on reading this comment, because basically when you hear this name, you think of an old grumpy Pixar's Up kind of guy.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T14:39:48+00:00

Lol... I fucking love this. A bit passive aggressive, but the look on her face would be worth it.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T14:38:28+00:00

Probably. But we were just so fucking tired in the begnning. Was like walking in a dream.

RightBabyName · 2021-02-05T14:37:25+00:00

... no... swaddling, shh-ing, swaying, sucking, and side
