With age it is more and more difficult to communicate with my grandmother. She has become very sharp. And now she demands that I name my son as she wants. As soon as we found out that we were going to have a boy and told our parents and relatives, my grandmother immediately said that if we did not name our son that way, she would not leave me her inheritance. I tried hundreds of times to explain that this name is already outdated. But she threatened that she would leave everything after her death to my cousin. That was the name of my grandmother’s father. Only my husband and I will decide what name our son will have.
My grandmother has an apartment and some savings. My husband and I are not interested in that. More important for us is the future of our son, where the name will play an important role. When we told my family about it, firstly, my grandmother was offended, and secondly, I hoped that my mother would support me, but it did not happen. My mother scolded me because of the apartment. According to my mother, you have to respect your grandmother and her wishes. My friend supported the position of my mother. But she advised to name the child that way, and then change the name after the grandmother’s departure. Strangely enough, only my mother-in-law understood my position.
She said that everything that is destined for a person comes into his hands. If necessary, I will get this apartment. When everything was finally decided, my husband surprised me by saying that it was a good option to avoid the mortgage. But he doesn’t really understand that my grandmother is still alive, and maybe she will live for a long time? In this case, we see neither a mortgage nor a normal name for our son. Because of this, the child will also be at a disadvantage. He left the final decision to me. I honestly do not understand these people. Being so mercantile will not lead to anything good.
