I hope it's ok that I started this.
Hope everyone had a great mother's day weekend.
I wanted to vent about people telling me what to name our baby. I know it's my fault for indulging my mother and letting her play a guilt trip on me, but we were having a nice mother's day dinner and I thought I'd try to broach the subject again. My sister has 3 kids, all of them were named after very close deceased relatives, but with the middle name. My mother says my grandmother (Maria) is too important and DESERVES a first name. I thought I was fine with Matthew (the only "m" name I could seemingly tolerate) but listening to people pronounce it with a Russian accent (Matyou --> Bless you,) or Moteli, or Motya drives me up the fucking wall.
I asked my mom if we could name the next kid or give a middle name, and she threw a temper tantrum, almost started crying, and said if I do this to her, wait and see what she'll do or how she will behave toward me and the baby. I know my hormones are raging lately, but all I wanted to do was smack her. This kids middle name is already set for Victor after DH's grandfather so there is no budging with that. It doesn't help that she hasn't once mentioned taking days off work after baby is born, or being in the hospital room (like my sister has) or babysitting, like DH's mother has. Ok, this was a big rant.
Hopefully y'all have better randoms than me!
