Okay so I know I probably am being unreasonable, and it's not technically stealing, I'm just really, really irrationally annoyed by her at the moment.
She's always been v v competitave, especially when it comes to the children, what mine have, hers have to have as well, and ususally better, what mine do her kids have to do as well, first and better etc etc.
Anyway, before dh and I even decided to have children, we had a boys name, just one and in the last 10 years it's been the ONLY boys name we have ever agreed on. When I conceived dd1 I told a few people the girl and boy names we had, including friend. The boys name isn't common and I can't imagine it's ever been common around these parts. Anyway, she was pg at the same time and shortly after our name conversation started telling people if her baby was a boy she'd call it the name I loved. When I teasingly said she'd stollen it off me and that's what i was going to call my baby if it was a boy, she insisted she'd always liked the name and was always going to use it. We both had girls.
We were recetly both pg again, I had all girls, she's due shortly and we suspect she's having a boy and is going to call it my name. So much so, she calls him that already. We won't be having any more children, dh has had the snip, so I won't ever need to use it, so why I am so bl**dy annoyed about this?
I really feel like she's stollen my boy's name. Someone kick me up the bottom please.
