Wow, crazy.
I am confused why I am reading a 1 year old story, complete with MoM comments from 1 year ago if the article is dated today 13 February 2020 by Kate Myers.

That would honestly make me furious! Stuff the mother in law, WHAT THE HELL was her husband thinking!!

Very disrespectful and both parts there, I would be furious if that happened to me

My inlaw told us that we need to change our son name as they doesnt like it.

It’s not that big of a change, just one letter, not a whole name. Still, a bit of a betrayal by the husband for letting it happen and keeping it secret for so long

I’d be at least as angry at my husband. What a betrayal.

Oh that must be hard having so much family friction

Her husband was just as much a part of this. I would be worried about future life together if his mummy has so much influence!

That is so disrespectful!!! I would force her to pay for the name change! I had plenty of people trying to convince me to change my sons name and spelling but I didn’t budge

Terrible, really. It’s not something you do. And I can’t believe the husband was part of it.

I would have nothing more to do with the woman and to know that her husband did that as she lay asleep after the emergency C-section displays alarm bells to me.

My father did not change the name but forced us to make a choice before we were ready. In one instance we would have called my daughter Michelle Lea, but because my son had been told her her name was Tracy Lea so we just changed her middle name as not to confuse him. He also pressured us into naming our third child but I cried all night and rang him in the morning and said no. Her name is not going to be that and we completely renamed her. I have included a photo of my last child when she was a little older. We called her Stacy Lea

I sure would take distance from my MIL when she would do this and would feel rather betrayed by my husband when he wouldn’t stand beside me in this.

The husband needs to learn to stand up for himself and his wife. If that were my husband and MIL I would tell them both to piss off. I don’t want either of our parents that involved!

I could never forgive my MIL if she did this. I’d change the spelling to how I wanted it and also think seriously about having her charged. She sounds like a very manipulative witch

Unbelievable. Wrong. Manipulative. And there is no doubt a pattern of this kind of behaviour, you don’t just do this out of the blue. This mother-in-law is absolutely and totally out of line and needs to be put back in her place. And this woman’s husband needs to be totally supportive of his wife and not manipulated by his mother. He needs to stand up to her. Nothing about this is okay.

Husband needs to get out from under his mother’s control. Change your child’s name to what you originally decided on & tell the mother in law to butt out if she wants to be able to see her grandchild. It is pathetic that the husband caved in to his mother & it is obvious he has mummy issues so needs to grow up. That sort of in- law can destroy a marriage because they are always interfering & trying to control everyone involved so lay down the rules & tell both husband & MIL they are not negotiable. In most states you have 60 days to register a newborn’s name so perhaps check to see if it can be fixed.

Whaaat?! What made her think she had the right! Sounds like hubby needs to cut the apron strings!

Wow. She’d be copping a piece of my mind for sure. Stay in your lane!

I would be having a word with her, telling her if she ever does something like that again, she won’t be welcome back in the house
