A Mum Is Angry Because Her Mum Won't Use Her Son's Name

A mum is upset because her mum won't call her son by his name.

A new mum asked for advice because her mum won't use her son's name.

Choosing a baby name is hard. Parents look for a special name for their baby. But sometimes, people don't like the name they choose. This happened to a woman who just had a baby boy.

The mum wrote that she feels her mum doesn't respect her choice of name.

The mum said she loves the name Matthew because it's a classic name and means 'gift from God'. But her mum kept saying she thought the baby's name was Xavier.

The mum's mum said the baby's name was Xavier without any reason. The mum just said 'that's interesting' and didn't talk about it more.

When the baby was born, the mum's mum said she would call him Mateo.

The mum is upset because Mateo is a different name from Matthew. She wishes her mum would use the name they chose.

The mum has two older sons and is worried they might start calling their brother Mateo. This isn't the first time her mum has said something that upset her children.

The mum's mum has said things that hurt her children's feelings before. The mum's younger brother isn't speaking to her because of something she said.

The mum thinks her mum might be trying to connect with her Mexican roots because she recently got divorced.

Many people who responded to the mum's post said she wasn't overreacting and that her mum was being disrespectful.

One person suggested that the mum should start calling her mum a different name to show her how it feels.

Another person said the mum's mum was acting strangely and that it's okay to correct her if she calls the baby Mateo.

Someone said the mum's mum can name her own child Mateo, but she should respect the name the mum chose for her son.

One person said the mum's mum might be trying to connect with her roots, but she can't change the baby's name for her own reasons.

Some people didn't think the situation was a big deal. They said Matthew and Mateo are similar names in different languages and that it could be a way for the baby to learn about his heritage.
