Here we go again

Some people just have to make everything about themselves, and the woman who wrote this story on Reddit knows all about that!

Check out what she had to say and see if you think she’s handling this situation the wrong way.

AITA – family drama about naming our child.

“I am pregnant and my wife and I have decided to name our daughter Georgia.

My father-in-law’s name is George. Our daughter is not named after him; we just love the name.

Not everyone thinks this is a good idea…

My mother-in-law (his ex-wife) is unhappy about this.

They had a tumultuous divorce and are not on great terms and she feels hurt by the similarity in names.

AITA and should we pick a different name for our daughter?

Or is my MIL overstepping boundaries?”
