I know the feeling! My mil and fil are divorcee, and she is pissed we chose a family name for our second son from my fil's family. It is so petty!
Sim89 - wow I give u props for living in the same house as her I sure as heck would go insane. I. Can't even stand when she visits us . I hate how she tried To manipulate my husband and she try's to make him feel bad about him being married and having kids. Ughhh I just want to slap her sometimes . She is one crazy lady. I ask myself the same question as to why mils are evil and then I think it's because they are jealous.
Ava is my moms name and its Beautiful.....tell her to stick it!!!! Some people have no tact.
Who cares its not her baby:) I personally think that is a beautiful name hun. It was def rude of her, just smile and be happy. You make the choices not her.
Why are m.I.l. such evil people?marisol_jose1,my mother.in.law is ignoring me now while I'm preg.its horrible-specialy when you live in the same house....
I would ignore her she has no right of what Ur lil girl is going to be named. And if she has a problem with you and your husband naming her that its her issue. At this moment you should not let anyone try and ruin your happiness. U have to enjoy all the first time mommy things. I as well am a first time mommy :) I'm not having the same issue as you are but it is really rude of her to act the way she is. I wish u the best and congrats on your baby girl. And I love the name ava! I was going to name my lil girl that but decided on Isabella Marie both are beautiful names :D
Girl let me share my experience with you. With my fist (my son) my MIL wasn't even happy that I was pregnant. What a b**** . Then when he was born she wanted to be involved . I'm like nah uh why now? I normally don't hold a grudge BUT when it comes to my kids I do. My sons name is Adrian and what really makes me mad is that she calls him "lian" his name isnt LIAN!!!!!! Ugh! Now I'm 38 weeks pregnant with a girl and we are naming her EVALYN MARIE Eva is named after my grandmother who recently passed away . She wasn't happy about me being pregnant with this one. & I don't know why she just can't be happy. My son just turned 11 months yesterday so my kids will be a little less then a yr apart and shes always talking smack about how close in age and how I need to be on birth control. This lady is out of her mind. It's my life and my husband and I are perfectly happy . I want to tell her off sooooo bad. But out of respect for my husband I don't . ( ahhhhh it feels good to vent)
LOL well you sure made me laugh FirstTymeMommii n I'm having a horrible day -_-
Anyway I sure agree with everything she told u when I had my second baby it was a girl and the name I pick for her no one like it (not even my husband lol) but I didn't care We suffer We get the pain We carry this baby thats the least We should get don't u think? No matter what name u choose there is always going to be one person who is not going to like it! Don't let them ruined ur happiness. And btw Ava is a gorgeous name and ur mil knows it she just won't admitted it. I also had problems with my mil she preferred my husband's ex but at the end I prove to her that no matter how hard she try to ruined my marriage her son can't just live without me (don't blame him) lol
I have gone through the same thing. My daughters name is Jayda Nichole and I have heard how it's an old name, how they don't like it, they being MY OWN FAMILY, how I need to change it. I even got faces made at the name, but I shortly had to remind all of them, mother too, that she is coming out of my queen victorian and she is MY child. I should be able to name her llama head and everyone smile and be happy lol but I basically set everyone straight and gave them a reminder of who Jayda parents are and since then I haven't heard a peep. Behind my back I don't know, at the same time don't care lol.. hope I at least made you smile. And to answer why your MIL is nasty like that.. because she is jealous that her son may possibly love someone else as much as her, OF not more, which is his family! Good luck to the both of you!!!!
