My mil law has been continually rude about our name choices. She basically said that she will call the baby 'you' if she doesn't like the name we go for. She also keeps mis pronouncing it on purpose. She has now said she will set up a bond for my baby but with a name she wants us to use. If we don't include that name she won't be able to access her bond. I'm really peeved off about thisAngry. She told my dh ANC not me but he didn't tell her it was out of order. We already have a middle name decided so don't want to change or add another. Also our first name ends in an 'a' and do does the name she likes so it sounds stupid.

Tell her she can do what she wants either money, it makes no difference to you at all, and you will be choosing your child's name. Bloody nerve.

  1. Don't tell her your choices, just inform her once name is registered
  2. Tell her if she wants to give money to a person who doesn't exist in a form which noone will ever be able to access, that's her choice, it's her money

Just tell her to piss off.

That's terrible! Don't let her blackmail you, and go with the name you like. She needs to realise that she can't bully you like that and that her behaviour is unacceptable.

Tell her to shove her bond where the sun doesn't shine!

Sorry, but I wouldn't be held to ransom. She sounds like a delight Hmm
