MIL tattooed DS's name...

[dilterry]

... We have just had a baby, 2 weeks ago, MIL immediately tattooed baby boys name on her arm.

However, we have since had a change of heart re the name... What a nightmare!

We didnt ask her to, or knew she was doing it, it's obviously really sweet of her to do it so that's not the problem it's more just now we dont want to call him that.

I feel awful! How on earth do we handle this? I'm really trying to talk myself into keeping the name, but it doesnt sit right...

That is hilarious 😂😂😂

Yeh, awkward but definitely not your problem. Baby is less than 2 weeks old and she has the name tattooed on her - thats just showing off lol.

If she didnt ask/confirm it with you then she made her own problem.

Maybe offer to contribute to a new/cover up tattoo for her birthday/xmas etc from new grandchild? lol

Big watch for Christmas present?

Don't use the name as a middle name either if you really don't like the name anymore.
MIL will just have to live with her stupidity impulsivity.

You should have added a "fuck the Daily Mail" in your OP. It's definitely going to be picked up by the lazy hacks.

Aww I feel sorry for granny

I totally thought this was going to be a 'How dare MIL have MY child's name tattooed on HER arm, he is MY precious first-born and this is a VIOLATION OF MY MATERNAL STATUS' kind of post ... then I read it and now I'm properly laughing!

As others have said - this is on her (quite literally, in fact). She was the one who couldn't wait five minutes to get the tattoo and you absolutely should not keep the name you no longer like for your son just because she was impatient.

Laser treatment is an option. A cover-up tattoo is an option.

I would definitely make sure it was your partner who breaks the news rather than you!

(Also please come back and tell us how it goes!!!)

Definitely this. Maybe offer to contribute 🤣

😂

Omg! I understand why she did it and it's a nice gesture. But...you shouldn't not change your baby's name because of this tattoo. There are solutions. Lazer removal, cover up etc.

What’s the name and what are you thinking of changing it to? Just wondering if a cover up will work!!

Oh no 😂

You should pay for her to have the tattoo removed, changed to the new name, or covered up with a tattoo of something else.

Thanks OP, you perked me up no end 🤣

Dennis ?

😂she's really going to have ragrets.

Is it Ria? Because that's a component of a few other names. Not your job to play name wordle to accommodate MILs poor life choice. Aw she must be so proud of the baby though lol.

Hmm. Are you sure there's no part of you at all that's doing this deliberately? 😆

Why should she? The choice to tattoo it was entirely the mils.

Why? It's not OP's fault the stupid woman got a tattoo.

I'd be denying all knowledge of the original name. "Who's Aloysius, Mabel? I'd have thought you'd have got your grandson's name tattooed instead?"

She can just mysteriously tell people it was the name of a man she once loved….

Can you livestream it?

Well, more fool MIL. Use the name you want, it was her daft decision and now she will have to get it altered or layered, not your problem.

You say she has all her kids and grandkids names tattooed all over her body - is her name Lydia?

Lasered

She should have a line tattooed through it and the new name underneath..

@Chikapu @SteamingHind 💯 some peoples logic on mn.... 🤯
