He said his parents were excited because this baby would be their first grandkid. But he noticed his mom was acting pretty crazy, especially towards Kenzie. He realized for the first time how pushy his mom could be.<\/p>\n
He explained that after they announced the pregnancy, his mom told Kenzie they should name the baby Rodger if it\u2019s a boy and Elizabeth if it\u2019s a girl. Rodger was his mom\u2019s grandpa, and she always wanted to name one of her sons that, but his dad always said no.<\/p>\n The Redditor\u2019s mom kept bugging Kenzie, even though Kenzie told her they weren\u2019t really looking for name suggestions and already had some names in mind. But the mom didn\u2019t listen to her son and his wife. She kept insisting that the names were important and should be used.<\/p>\n A few weeks later, she asked Kenzie if they knew whether they were having baby Rodger or baby Elizabeth. Kenzie told her those names weren\u2019t on their list, and they didn\u2019t know yet. The guy said Kenzie mentioned his mom bringing up the names to him, but she didn\u2019t make it seem like a big deal, so he didn\u2019t say anything at that point.<\/p>\n Things got worse<\/p>\n It got even worse when the couple found out they were having a boy, and the mom decided to order baby stuff with the name Rodger on it without asking.<\/p>\n \u201cWe found out when she gave us a door decoration with \u2018Rodger\u2019 on it. I told her we hadn\u2019t picked a name yet and wouldn\u2019t until the baby is born,\u201d the man said.<\/p>\n But the grandma-to-be didn\u2019t stop there. She went ahead and posted about the clothes and baby items with \u2018Rodger\u2019 on social media, making it seem like they had already decided on the name, which wasn\u2019t true.<\/p>\n That\u2019s when the guy got really upset and talked to his mom face-to-face. She said it was important for them to listen to her because she\u2019s going to be one of the baby\u2019s grandparents.<\/p>\n The guy told her firmly that she didn\u2019t have any right to name their baby and her opinion wasn\u2019t needed or important. He said his mom told him it was rude to ignore her opinion and feelings and that he should respect her more.<\/p>\n P<\/p>\n After thinking about the argument, the Redditor wondered if he was too harsh on his mom. He realized he needed space from her pushy attitude but wasn\u2019t sure if he handled it right. This situation shows how complicated it can be when family members get involved in naming a baby, so it\u2019s important to set clear rules and talk respectfully.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what someone on the internet said:<\/p>\n \u201cYou should\u2019ve stopped this earlier. The first time she was pushy, you should\u2019ve said no like your dad did. Go on social media and tell everyone that your baby won\u2019t be named those names. Instead of getting more upset, you should stop your mom.\u201d<\/p>\n Someone else said:<\/p>\n \u201cYour wife should block your mom, and you should handle all communication. It\u2019s not right to make her deal with this, especially while pregnant or becoming a new parent.\u201d<\/p>\n What\u2019s your take? Would you have done the same thing if you were in this situation?
