DD (17) has recently got a new boyfriend, which is fine. However, his name is Chris, which is a name I hate, and would rather not have to say a lot, especially if he is going to come to the house all the time. I told DD last night that if she wanted to bring him round, then I would be calling him Luke, which I think is an acceptable name (and very nice - it was going to be DD's name, had she been a boy). Very unreasonably, I thought, she flew off the handle at this, even though I know that she likes the name Luke.
Now I have three options:
- Call the boy Luke when he is at the house
- Call him "Mr " when he is here
- Don't let him come to the house.
He is a lovely boy, but I just can't stand him name!
So, is it unreasonable?
