Man's Mom Throws The Biggest Fit After He Refused To Name His Child According To Her Wishes
Parents consider the ideal name for their children as they hug their brand-new bundle of joy. Although it's an exciting choice, some people may find it worrisome.
Your family tree's branches are undoubtedly full of suggestions for baby names. Some tend to check the family histories of their parents or discover whether a relative has started a genealogy register.
The responsibility of naming another person might be scary, but it can also be enjoyable. After all, your child will be known by that name forever.
Perhaps you already know exactly the kind of name you want. However, your spouse, family, and friends can have some differing viewpoints.
Getting everyone to agree on something might be difficult, and this is what the OP faced. Well, the r/entitledparents subreddit page welcomed a story by u/Chuckles_Hadster where he explained that he and his wife have been trying for a child, and it finally happened.
They thought of a name and told the families what they had decided to name the baby, but the OP's mom was not happy with their choice. She argued that at least one person in each generation needs to have a family name.
The OP had the name, but he mentioned that he never liked the name. The issue continued as the OP refused to budge on his decision.
The OP writes his story:
The OP had been told by the wife's doctor that she had some complications
Actions are much more important than how a name sounds
She blamed my wife, saying that she had brainwashed the OP into it
