A woman claims she now wants to change her newborn son’s name after becoming tired of her mother-in-law’s constant ‘subtle digs’, despite receiving plenty of compliments from other family members
As all parents will know, you can’t please everybody with your choice of name, no matter how carefully you choose it. One new mum knows this all too well, as she’s had to contend with her mother-in-law blasting her choice of baby name at every opportunity, despite other family members thinking it’s perfectly lovely.
According to the fed-up mum, she’s become so sick of her ‘stubborn’ mother-in-law’s constant ‘subtle digs’, that she’s now considering changing her son’s name altogether.
Taking to Mumsnet, where she goes by the username @97DS, the despairing woman explained her mother-in-law had made various criticisms throughout her pregnancy, making it clear that she wasn’t exactly ‘a fan’ of the baby name, and even asking whether they’d considered any others.
