Aye... carumba! Those types of encounters really annoy me. I'm really not the type to be urged to do that sort of thing, so I push back hard when it comes to that. Really though, it isn't their choice what to name your child. It's you and your wife's, but more of your wife's.
It's really more of yours but don't tell her that. Feminism ugh!
If he really wanted to dictate the name, he should've talked to his daughter. I mean, if he couldn't convince his own daughter, the fruit of his loins, the jewel of his crown, the...
THIRTY MINUTES LATER
to take his name and pass it to the second coming of BOOM, then what chance does he have to convince his in-law. For a second there, I thought he wanted you to take his surname!
Oh lol! Great use of the thirty minutes later!
Exactly. He knew he would get nowhere with her so he thought he would try to mine under the walls. I know who I am more inlcined to agree with and it aint him!
You are right of course.
It's all my decision through subterfuge, take that feminism!
It did colour the visit somewhat as he huffed and puffed and was grumpy for the rest of it.
Ugh. Figures. You can't please everybody. It's sad that he took it personally. He should've expected the worst before he began. A child's name isn't something anyone could take lightly. Heck, one person would even carry the burden of it for the rest of his life! PsiOps won't work in those types of occasions.
His PsiOps is weak!
But you are right. It was a little annoying. I dont suspect it is the end of it either
He has little than 2 or 3 months to make his case, though I doubt it would be enough. In any case, he could use that time to get comfortable with the fact that he would be the last of a lineage that stretches back to his father. A 2-person tradition.
2 Man lineage. I wont bring up the greatness of that in case he snarks his beard at me again lol
