[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:
First off, I'm not letting DH take the blame for this, I didn't mean my post to make it look that way.  I've told her the name was my idea and to leave DH out of it.  I've done nothing but defend him.  She has chosen not to believe me and continues to blame DH.

@ 11:00: my medical condition is not a serious one, it just makes it difficult to get pregnant.  She knows this.

@10:59: that's awful! I'm sorry your ILs chose to not be involved over a name choice.

@10:57: I realize that I made a mistake telling my parents the name.  But I really don't think I need to be told to "calm down."  My dad told me that for the past week my mom has basically done nothing but scream at him about it and then sulk in a room by herself and said crazy shit about my DH and how she doesn't want to be around my DC. It's kind of hard not to be upset.  *shrug*

@10:56: my hope is that when she tells her family that I'm not using the name, they'll act like it's not a big deal and then she'll get over it.  Right now she is too upset to tell anyone.

Say:

"Mom, I'm sorry you feel this way. It was my decision, not my husband's, but if you choose not to be around him, you choose not to be around me and your grandchild".

Let her absorb the enormity of that.  [/quote]
