Just found out from DH that his mother has been putting pressure on him to include her family name in DS who's due in Nov middle names. We've both quite clearly told her that only middle name we'll be using is my Grandfather's name.
DH has only just told me that for past couple of weeks he's been getting regular texts and has had 1 phonecall from her regarding this where she's tried to guilt trip him into using the name. She's divorced from FIL but still uses her married name but wants maiden name included as thinks it's DH's responsibility to ensure the name is carried on. In the past she has asked DH to change his name to her maiden name but he refused.
I'm a bit miffed that DH has only just told me about this but understand as he insists he thought she would drop it and didnt want me getting wound up about it. At the same time I'm that she's trying to malipulate DH behind my back into changing name when we've both told her clearly what names we will be using.
AIBU to wish she'd just keep her nose out or should I try and be more understanding?
