To be angry with DH on his return from registering the birth of DC2?

[PetiteMum]

Ok it's not anger, I'm actually livid. We both decided on first middle and surname of our gorgeous DD. Now MIL has mentioned a name that I was not keen on. DH did not mention that name at all..... Lo and behold he returns from the register office with a certificate bearing two middle names... He put in the name that MIL mentioned as a second middle name!

I was so angry that he did this without consulting me that I called the office straight away and will be deleting the extra name, which he said ok to after seeing my reaction.

It's the principle of the matter! Who did you have the child with? Me! Who suffered 3 days of induced back to back labour with just gas and air? Me!

I'm so mad I can't think straight. I'm not talking to him at the moment and don't know what to say, if anything.

Wow! Actually yes i would have been fuming about that!

Men and their bloody mothers!

YANBU.

Ohhh, YATotallyNBU. What was he thinking?

good god. I would also be livid. Did he say why he added the name? Or was it mum pressure?

Yanbu! He should have discussed it with you first.

Yep, I'd be furious too.

Mine would have lost a bollock if he tried that, I think yours got away lightly! You decided the name together and he just changes it to one his mother mentions?!

Good Lord OP, that is bang out of order, you must be furious, understandably!!

So are you actually able to remove the offending name?

Can you tell us the name, or might it out you?

Are they going to let you change it?

Wow, just wow! Hopefully this is the last time he'll be so bloody stupid

YANBU.

That's completely out of order.

Yanbu! Breach of trust.

On the other hand it sounds as if he realises he has fucked up this time.

I cannot actually believe that. WTAF??? How, how, HOW could he possibly think that was ok?????

Flabbergasted and quite livid on your behalf OP.

YANBU and he needs to do a lot of grovelling.

I'd be beyond livid.

Why didn't you go? It was a really nice thing to do.

Fuck knows why. He muttered something about representation of his nationality as we are a mixed couple, however both her middle and surname reflect that so what is the fucking issue. Argh! I never want to speak to him again!

was it Kimberly? My DH has a strange fascination with that name because its the name of a girl he liked at school , despite me vetoing it

The MIL would be getting a serious piece of my mind for this, is she usually this controlling?

Shocking. The more I think about this, the more appalled I am.

I didn't go because I never imagined he would do something so stupid! He did fine with DS 1

YANBU

My grandad did that - with the first name! Completely different to what my gran agreed to, he lived to regret it, but only just

My friends dad changed the first name of both his daughters! You'd have thought her mum would have learnt after the first time to to with him!

OMG, YANBU!

DH registered all our children's births and I wrote down in my most careful and best handwriting their names so there would be no mistakes. I would have gone mad if he'd added any on (and probably spelled wrong as he's crap at spelling) especially any his mum had liked - we have very different tastes in names.

I feel I need to know the extra name
