'My mother-in-law barged into delivery room and tried to change my baby's name'
A mum has been left outraged after her entitled mother-in-law tried to change her newborn's name behind her back. She explained how her opinionated mother-in-law didn't agree with the name she and her husband picked out for their son - and took a nurse aside to try to change it before leaving the hospital.
Taking to Reddit, the 29-year-old said: "I gave birth to my son last week. My husband, 32, and I agreed to name our son after my father. My father passed away when I was 14 and we were very close. His middle name is named after my husband's grandfather.
"My mother-in-law is very opinionated about everything. She has been giving us her opinion on everything for our son. The day I was due, I only wanted my husband there. He drove me to the hospital and my mother-in-law walked into the room and started babbling on about the baby's name, feeding schedules, etc. I kept it together as best as I could."
But after the baby was born, her mother-in-law upped the ante, making it her mission to legally change the child's name without the parents' permission. My mother-in-law was trying to talk my husband into convincing me to change his name. She asked the nurses if she could legally change his name. She even went as far as to accuse me of controlling my husband into his name.

"I yelled at her to get out of the room and we will not be changing the name. She left and has been telling family members a different story. My husband has been sticking up for me and told her that nothing will be changed. If she continues, we will be cutting her off from seeing her grandson. Now, most of her side of the family are calling me names and demanding I apologize to my mother-in-law."
Wanting to know whether she is in the wrong, she has taken to social media to ask for users' thoughts. In response, on user said: "I would tell her this- you have one chance. you stop this madness now, you apologize for your behavior and you tell everyone else to back off- or this is literally the last you will ever hear from us and you will never see this child again. You are not the parent, you do not have a say and until you submit and accept this- there is nothing here for you."
Another user added: "Oh hell no! She had her chance to name the kid when she had her own. She doesn't have naming rights to your child(ren). If she doesn't like it, she can suck a lemon."
A third user said: "Barging into the delivery room where you are unwanted is already a huge a***hole move. Barging in and demanding to change the baby's name, and even asking the nurses how she can do this legally? Wow. I just... wow. She can accept the name and let you parent your baby, or she can stay away. Same goes for anyone taking her side."
