What a lovely mother and sister

SIL had a little boy on Friday. He still doesn't have a name. SIL and BIL want to name him something but her mother and her sister don't like it. So they think of an alternative, when they tell her mother and sister they say  "all we will think of is of someone else they know with that name". James rings her up that same day as it is the day she is released from hospital and she is in tears because they don't like any of the names they want to call him and there other brother hasn't even tried to ring her. James tells her to call the baby what they want. But since it is a week tomorrow since she has had the baby seems like she is still worrying about other opinions when it should be only between her and her husband.

If MIL was a decent mother she would leave her opinions to herself and put the stress of her poor hormonal daughter. SIL knows that her mother will never let her live it down if she names him something she doesn't like. She did it to me when I had Amahlia. She pipes up when she visits with poor little thing. I was sooooo pissed. But truely besides loving the name I loved it so much more bc I knew she would hate it. Its not a name in the bible and its different.

When James said to me about all of this I said to him see and you wondered why I wouldn't discuss names with you until we had our babies. We had our children then we decided a name. I wouldn't let him call anyone until we had a named picked out because if his family said they didn't like it, there wouldn't have been any chance of calling our children what we wanted.
