What is it about a mother-in-law and blatant disrespect? You see so many stories online about in-laws who blatantly disrespect their child's partner, refusing to practice decency with them and their wishes. Don't they know that they should never pick a fight with a momma bear? Spoiler alert: They won't win. Even though we all know that it often takes two to tango, sometimes the disrespect is clearly one-sided and you have to fight fire with fire. All the mommas out there know that when anyone, including in-laws, starts messing with the life you try to set up for your child, you have to bite back. Especially when your precious baby can't do it for themselves.
The woman in this Reddit story is at a loss. Her mother-in-law refuses to call her child by their given name, despite having been told to do so countless times. Her mother-in-law does not struggle with respecting other relatives' wishes, only hers. This seems a bit targeted, but the woman is refusing to back down. She expresses that the name she chose for her child is dear to her heart, and refuses to compromise for the sake of family harmony. Isn't it easy enough to use the child's full name anyway? What do you think?
