Run down and peeved off with in laws


Im so run down at the moment. Ive got the worse sore throat ive ever had, still have an infection although not sure if its still of the kidneys. Feel sick and dizzy and so off balance. I just feel so worn out and tired.

My in laws have pushed me too far. I said i was trying to ignore it and not stoop to their level but my hormones are raging and i feel like crap so cant help but flip.

Basically they dont like the name we've picked (Roman). We're calling him Roman Aiden Zak and they tried to act dumb by acting like we had dropped the first name and was just having Aiden Zak. They kept going on and on and for the past week ive switched my phone off because i just dont want to talk to them.
Last night though hubby had to ring them for details of a party coming up and they went on again about my sons name. Hubby said his name will be Roman and they just said "we'll have to think of a nickname then because we're not calling him that".
Im getting so frustrated. Its not their son, theyre not carrying him around and there not his parents and dont make the decisions. I just wish they would respect me.
They only dont like it because my FIL's workmates think its a stupid name and he's just trying to save face. He's so childish.

I swear im going to snap soon. I cant take it anymore. I just dont want to be around them or speak to them because there will be a big fall out.

I dont want my baby being so confused as to what his name is and the in laws thinking they can defy me. Im fuming, i really am. What should i do about it?

In Laws can be a pian in the back side...to put it politely.

I know this is going to sound bad, but you could you not tell them that if they are not going to call him by his name which WILL be Roman ( I personally think it's a lovely name, different, but not stupid!) then they will only be allowed supervised visits with either you or your DH? The last thing the baby wants is to be confused, or annoy by teaching the baby to call them something like nana and Grandad pants? Or even call them by their first name instead of nan and grandad!

Sorry, some people get up my nose and I don't stand for it anymore I don'tcare who they are My DH gets a little worried sometimes

Your inlaws sound as charming as mine. Tell them straight, if they don't like the name then that's fine. They won't ever get the chance to use it, or any stupid nicname they think they are going to get away with using.

For the record my realtionship with my inlaws is so bad that I don't give a flying Fk what they think and will not be asking for their help anyway.

I totally agree...if that were me...I would flat out tell them, if you don't call him by his first name, you will NOT see him! That should change their mind quickly...oh that really pisses me off. How dare they! Don't they realize how hard it is to pick your childs name anyway....and as I said to my OH, the only thing I'm worried about is how him and I feel about the name...if we love it that's all that matters, everyone else will love it eventually! You're being very nice...I'd slap them if I were you! lol.
And Roman is a beautiful name!

Thanks Ladies.

Ive just had enough now and when i see them next im going to snap. I can just blame it on hormones if in the end i want to say sorry.

I love the idea of getting Roman to call them by their first names. That would be hilarious. Hubby said he will tell Roman to ignore them if they call him anything other than his name but its while he is a baby and cant ignore them. I just need to know that if they were to be alone with him they wouldnt be calling him daft things.
