This persistent mother-in-law wanted a vote (the only vote) on what their grandchild's name was going to be. She was determined to find a way to get her name selected one way or another before the child was born. She had managed to turn her son (the husband) to her side before his wife came up with this clever way to give her a "vote" and stop this nonsense once and for all.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by the wife, u/Ok-Cranberry-9158, to share her glorious malicious compliance. See, she realized something that her mother-in-law didn't; there were four grandparents! All she had to do was get the other three (her parents and her mother-in-law's ex) to vote in her favor, which they were more than happy to do.

With this tactic, she managed to shut her mother-in-law down.
