My Family + My Baby's Name

[horrorheart13]

What is with moms? I was visiting my grandparents with mine on the weekend and she cracked a joke about me divorcing. She laughed all by herself while everyone else looked uncomfortable. She goes on and on about it - won't even let us have a wedding reception until next YEAR. "Most marraiges don't make it through their first year..."

That's BUSINESSES, mom.

Anyway, since she's not-so-supportive about the wedding (we eloped), she was downright bitter about the pregnancy at first. She's warmed up, a little, but that may just be because everyone else is happy about it. Just tell her to shove off. I like telling mine that I hate my name, and wish someone would have argued with her. But that's because I'm mean.

My mom's decided to just keep her mouth shut about things that she knows are none of her business. But my grandma is just like that. She keeps telling me to leave my fiance and go live with my grandfather. I can't tell if she's joking or serious but it gets on my last nerve. And with the name thing (she still hates it) I just tell her every name she suggests is either "gay" or "******ed". Old people seem to hate both of those words. It's hilarious.

my OH and his dad have the same name.
They seemed to work it OK. ...though I dont want baby to have the same name again it has to be said.
But it worked for them.

Yeah, my granpa and dad have the same name, except my dad's a Jr. instead of a II. I really love the roman numerals and ever since I met OH he's always said he wanted his son to carry on his name. I just really love it but I guess I can see why my family doesn't. Grandma keeps saying "Let him have his own name".
