Couple Names Baby in Honor of One Grandfather, and the Other — Who 'Always Wanted It' — Is Outraged


A new mom told Reddit how her decision to honor one of her child's grandparents but not the other in naming him caused a problem between her and her in-laws.

"My husband has a complicated relationship with his father so he wasn’t comfortable naming our son after him, but we agreed to give them the same initials so they’d both be AHD," she writes. "I tried to explain why, but he cut me off and said that it was absurd to expect someone to check on me when there were babies that had just been born and my father shouldn’t be rewarded for 'ignoring his grandchildren,' " she reveals. In addition to dealing with her father-in-law's feelings on the matter, she says her mother-in-law is also on his side, saying that her own father "doesn't care about any grandchildren being named after him."
