My mother in law is the type of woman who likes everything done her way... all the time. My spouse is a momma's boy who does not know how to even begin to stand up to her. I am due in July I have had my son's name picked out for months but I refuse to tell anyone in his family because when ever his mother gets wind of it she trys to cram her name idea's down my throat... My spouse middle name is Morgan... I hate morgan. She wants me to give my son the first name of Morgan " its such a nice lovely name. I love it. Its a family name. Wouldn't it be nice to carry on a family name?" thats all I hear around the clock. I guess what I am really wanting to know is - Have any of you received unwanted suggestions or advice from your husband/boyfriends family and no matter how politely you tell them no they wont take it for an answer? I need help on how to get my point across but I don't want to be rude.
