[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m amazed how many people feel a new mother should surrender her rights to name her own child to avoid upsetting her in laws. What about the reverse? Imagine having a daughter in law from a different culture and insisting she doesn’t have a right to name her own children? That would be pretty offensive/likely to cause a rift in my book. As well, DH may say it “has” to be the first name, but here’s another place for compromise— Hani can be his middle name. No, it’s not the exact tradition. Yes, it does honor the person in question and the baby is still named for Hani. Expecting a mother to give more in a compromise than her in laws is a pretty sorry reflection of how people think women should be treated. [/quote] Emphatic +1.[/quote]
