Most people like to choose a name for their baby with their partner as it is a personal choice.
However, one mum-to-be was left furious after her stepmum told her that she should have the "right" to name her baby as the tot's grandmother, despite not being related to the woman or her baby.
The pregnant woman explained that she has never been on good terms with her stepmum but recently sat down with her over lunch alongside her husband and her dad.
After trying to be civil, the woman lost her cool when she demanded that she should get to name her future daughter Amy and told her she was "taking away her right as a grandparent" when she refused to comply.
In a post on Reddit , she wrote: "My stepmum and I never got along. She always pushed me, she wanted me to call her mum and then got mad when I didn't, she went through my text messages, she tried to take stuff that I paid for away, and she tried to make me babysit her kids multiple times, even on my prom night.
"My dad and I still talk and he wanted to meet for brunch, so I said yes, unaware that he was bringing her.
"When they came, we talked for a bit casually with my husband there too, until we got onto the topic of my pregnancy . She asked me all kinds of questions and then she got to names, and she told me that I was going to name the baby Amy, which is her daughter's name.
"I politely said no and said we already had a few names in mind. She started asking why I wasn't allowing her to name her grandchild and she should get that right, I told her that it's our right.
"She kept saying that I was taking away her right as a grandparent and that I've always been such a b***h to her for no reason. She said she knew that I never accepted her as my mother from the beginning but said I'm a bad parent if I'm going to project that onto my kid."
The mum-to-be then decided that due to her stepmum's actions, she would no longer be allowing her to see her baby once she gives birth - causing her stepmum to call her a "horrible mother".
She added: "This is when I stopped everything and told her she's not allowed around my kid.
"She kept pushing it saying that she always knew I was a brat but to be this bitter to someone who only helped her is absurd. I said that she can think that all she wants but I'm going to be naming our child whatever we decide.
"Then she decided to try to hit close to home saying that I was going to be a horrible mother and I keep adding to how much of a self-centered person I am by taking away her bonding with her grandchild.
"That hit me hard, but I told her she's not going to be seeing my child ever when she's born since she wanted to push her luck. Before I could say more my husband grabbed our stuff and we left."
Commenters on the Reddit post were on the mum-to-be's side, with many saying her stepmum is "overstepping" with her approach to the situation.
One person said: "Your dad's partner is way overstepping. I don't understand why your dad lets her continue acting like that."
While another added: "You're 100% in the right. Your stepmum is an insecure a**hole who only cares about herself. The fact that your dad agrees with her and did not defend you shows exactly how he feels too."
