[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is entertaining.

I don't get the hysteria over the spelling of a name.

I used about 6 different spellings of my name from the ages of 8-14. I can't imagine my parents hyperventilating like this because that isn't how they decided my name to be spelled.

I came from a family where we used all kinds of names and nicknames, we all grew up knowing our names and who they meant. I also didn't have hyper controlling parents who tried to dictate every aspect of who I was and what my identity must be.

You all need bigger problems in life and a Xanax. Creating friction in relationships over the spelling of a nickname just seems so immature and bizarre to me.[/quote]

That’s because you are a normal person who is not looking for reasons to be offended or to create drama. [/quote]

If you read all the oP's posts, it is clear that the MIL was doing it on purpose and clearly stated why - she thinks her spelling is cuter.  The MIL writing the wrong spelling on cards etc is one think but this is a large personalized easy chair with the wrong name embroidered across it.  When confronted the MIL smiled and said"oops!"

I am a normal person and this would irk me too. [/quote]
