The dad explained on Reddit his six-year-old daughter Mildred came to him in tears over the bullying for her name, and told her he also thought it was 'stupid'
Naming your baby is a huge decision for any parent as it's likely you are choosing the name that your child will go by for the rest of their life. However, one dad has stirred up some controversy as he admitted he told his six-year-old daughter he 'never liked' her 'grandma' name after she came home from school in tears because other kids were teasing her for it.
"Sure enough, I picked up my daughter from school today and usually she's excited when I pick her up, but she was quiet. I kept asking her what was wrong and when we were almost home, she finally confessed and said that someone in her class had said that her name 'sounded like a grandma'. Basically, old.
"She told her mother that I said her name was stupid and even after I explained the whole situation to my wife, she was mad and wanted me to apologise." The insensitive dad believes he didn't need to apologise because he was telling the truth and couldn't understand why his daughter had started crying.
"I'm not too worried about my daughter because she's 6, so she'll probably forget it by tomorrow or like a week at most, but my wife is really mad at me right now because she was telling me that I should apologise, and I kept saying no. I think she just feels guilty that she named our daughter Mildred.
