I still hate DH's aunt... F/U

in 2nd Trimester

To quickly summarize, this is a posting conversation on DH's FB photo album of Charlie's u/s pictures:

Aunt Biiitch: Charlie V. G*** or Charlie Vida G***????? Whats this stuart?  Your mom pretty much raised you all by herself and you're not honoring her? Whats up J. :o 

DH's Mother, (after I told her how enraged I was about the prev. comment): Baby C will honor me by video chatting with me and saying he loves his gg. That's all the honor I need.  

Me (I was going to take the high road, but decided to post something explanatory, as opposed to livid): S & J Stewart introduced us in 2004, and they are our best friends. Without Stewart, there would be no Charles. 

So, just a few minutes ago, Aunt Biiiitch posted this: Oh-OK, I guess that beats out any family connection!  Vida: gg stands for great grama.

I just can't deal with this woman!  We decided years ago that DH's mother would be called Gigi, which would stand for Grandma G***.  I don't want to fall in to this vortex with her, but SERIOUSLY???  Who the HELL does she think she is??

    Ugh! Tell her that i she wants to name a baby so bad, to go get pregnant. See what she has to say after that!

     

    Or you could say that there will be no further discussion on the matter, like a grown up. :D But you have to mean it. And repeat it. Even if little Stewart is 17.

    Don't even give her a second thought. Remember it's between you and your DH, no one else, when it comes to your baby. We were going to do the same thing with naming our LO, but changed our minds, because the name wouldn't go with our last name.

    I wouldn't answer anything else she posts.   It doesn't matter what you say, it seems she won't like it.

    In life there is always going to be someone who doesn't approve of your actions.  There is nothing you can do to change the other person. All you can control is how much you let it bother you.

    Stewart is a lovely middle name for your child that has tremendous meaning. Gigi is also a name with meaning that is what your MIL prefers.   You and your husband have made great choices. That is all that matters!

    As hard as it is (especially with all these hormones) you have to just try to ignore her. It looks like you have support from the soon-to-be grandmom and your DH. There will always be at least one person who constantly tests your patience.

    That being said...we called my grandmom Gigi. I'm the oldest grandchild and I started calling her that just because I couldnt say grandmom and it stuck after that. All the grandkids called her Gigi and she loved to say it stood for Gorgeous Grandmom. Reading this made me think of her =)

    I posted the orig. drama a few days ago... I just don't understand who the hell she thinks she is!  I'm starting to wonder if I should send her a PM, so as not to drag all of this out into public... which I think is supertacky.

    I like your reply. It got the point across without causing drama. Good job! And I'm sorry you have to deal with her - good luck!

    Have your DH unfriend her - it's not worth your time or energy and she needs to be put in her place.  what a wench!

    Thanks for all the support, y'all!  I really appreciate it.  I'm gonna try to ignore her... but it's sooo hard!  I just don't do well with situations like this...

    I don't know why this is hitting me like this... I guess I just don't understand how other people thing that they have the right to criticize what we name our child.  I had never heard of anyone doing that before I came on here... I'm actually glad that I was sort of prepared for it; I'd hate to see my reaction if I wasn't!!

    It's amazing how much stuff people think they have the right to criticize. I think if people want to state their opinion, that's fine, but say it and then keep it moving.

    People always have to put their two cents in...like it's any of their business. MIL keeps telling me she hates the boy name we picked out. I finally told her she'd get used to it hoping it would shut her up. Ugh people are so irritating.

    I think you should just really try to let it go.  She isn't going to change and maybe she even likes to get reactions out of people.  Its really not worth being so upset over.
