A woman has shared how her mother-in-law demanded they pick a new name after slamming the one they had chosen for their baby.
The mom-to-be took to Reddit and wrote: “We still haven’t decided on a first name for our child, but I made the choice (which my husband wholeheartedly supports) to give her the middle name of a deceased friend of mine whom I loved very much.
“My dear mum-in-law visited us over the weekend and not only trashes our home but pays me no mind at all during her entire visit.”
The woman continued: “All she does is fuss over how my husband is going to be a dad and she’s going to be a grandma, ignoring the woman literally carrying her grandchild.
“The most interaction she has had with me so far is barking orders at me.”
But while they were having dinner, the mother-in-law asked what he was planning to name their child.
“I piped up since I’m fed up with her acting like my husband is the one who’s carrying her grandkid. I told her, ‘we haven’t decided on a first name yet, but her middle name will be (the aforementioned friend’s name) in honor of one of my best friends who died a few years back, if you have any suggestions for her first name, we’d be more than happy to hear them.’”
But her mother-in-law gave her the “dirtiest look she’s ever received in her life” before saying: “First of all why was I not informed that you had already made a choice regarding my granddaughter’s name? Did you even consult [my husband] when you decided to give the baby that name?! Look, I’m sure your friend was a great person but I don’t approve of the name at all.point 452 | 1
“I’m sorry, the person may have been nice but the name isn’t nice at all! Instead of honoring the girl by naming my grandbaby after her, why don’t you honor her by raising the child to be a good, religious, pious lady?!
“Oh wait, you can’t I suppose. You’re a lazy, good-for-nothing, useless junkie. You’re the opposite of what a mum should be. I’m ashamed that your carrying my grandchild, slut!”
The mom-to-be walked out of the room and cried while she could hear her husband kicking his mother out of their house.
“I’ve blocked her on everything and had my husband withdraw ourselves from Christmas dinner with his side of the family. The whole ordeal also reminded me of the trauma of losing the friend I mentioned. I really hope my daughter doesn’t inherit anything from that awful woman,” she added.
