A new mum is fuming with her in-laws as they were so critical of the middle name the woman and her husband chose for their newborn. The woman took to Reddit to explain that she has just got back home after giving birth and while this is meant to be a special time for the family, she can't help but be furious with the judgmental in-laws.
In the post, the woman, who remained anonymous, explained: "We just got back from the hospital after I gave birth.
"Everything was great until we got home and the in laws found out we gave our baby middle name honoring my dad."
She went onto say that the in-laws then phoned her husband to ask him why this had happened and why he had not pushed for a name after somebody in their family.
She explained: "They called my husband and instead of renouncing in all of the joy that comes with having a newborn and a first grandson, they spent the time grilling him about why we didn’t choose his grandfathers name or this or that.
"It totally took some of the joy out of this experience and I try not to think about it but that’s literally all I think about."
The woman is now furious that the in-laws decided to focus more on this detail then being grandparents to the baby and she is shocked they have reacted in such a way to a decision that was made together between her and her husband.
"My husband is shielding me from them for the time being but it’s really stressing me out as we have a history of them butting in and being out of line and critical of our decisions," stated the new mum.
In response, many were quick to support the woman and the decision that was made.
One person wrote: "They are ridiculous! You have so many other things to think about with a new baby so just let it go and move on. It will be a non issue soon, especially if you just ignore it."
While a second person wrote: "Your husband is doing a good job shielding you from it. He’s doing his job, let him deal with his parents. Too late now the name has been given and you both were in agreement. Don’t stress about it they’ll come around."
