In today's Ask Amy, a grandma is having angst about her grandson's name.
My youngest daughter recently gave birth to her first child, a beautiful baby boy .His first name, “Louis,” is after the baby’s father, and a family name — so he is the fourth male to be named that. I find it confusing and paternalistic but otherwise I like the name. It’s our grandson’s middle name I’m having the most difficulty with.I know my daughter is honoring her father by giving the baby his middle name.
Is this something I just need to get over? I feel sick when I think about it, and wish my beautiful grandson had his own name.Your beautiful grandson does have his own name. And he shares a middle name with his wonderful grandfather. I wish you could see this as a tribute to your husband, versus honoring a challenging history that only you and your husband seem to know about .
I told him that if he continues to work there, we will have issues, and of course he is still employed there.If your husband wants to try to restore his relationship to you, he should admit to this, and start the process of trying to regain your trust by behaving differently.
