Yeah, now that would piss me off.

Don't burn it. That's too easy.

Cut all the monograms off the items you bought and send it to them.

the same initials? how? did you take your wifes last name?


At this point it wouldn't surprise me if the b-i-l decided to take the OP's last name too... he's not using it.

I rarely get in on this, but this is trashy to me. Why would you want someone's seconds? Especially since people already saw the monograms and whatnot from y'all. Weird shite.

I don't know that I'd be "angry" (never been anywhere near a situation like that), but I think you should turn up your nose and laugh internally at their fixation on your sloppy seconds and then move on with your life.

What you do with the stuff is up to you, but burning it would make you look weak. Just tell him no he can't have it all. It isn't up to him to decide what y'all still need, and it would be pretty funny if you just say, "No, we still plan on using it". He won't know if that means you still plan on having a baby and using the name.. or what.

If this happened to my wife, she would go ballistic. Pretty low class move from your Brother in law. I would confront him on it and see if he agrees to make some changes. You don't want to destroy family ties but this is ridiculous.

Does he know you're upset about their decision? If so, and he still asked, I'd tell him GFY.

Sounds like they chose this name on purpose....

lol no most of it just has the first name on it


So what's the name? I'm thinking of changing one of ours to it just to salt the wound. It's a little late in the game but I feel like a fourteen year old could adjust to a name change.

OP isn't burning anything. He'll bitch and moan here but he'll end up giving them all the monogrammed shite. The b-i-l is the Alpha here.

if they knew you were going to try for a boy you absolutely have a right to be mad. even if you were done having kids it is still lame as shite for them to use a name you thought of.

if this scenario happened to anyone, they would be pissed. so ignore the haters.

The name thing would annoy me but I could probably get over. Them choosing the name and following it up by asking for all the monogrammed stuff or choosing the name with the intention of asking for the stuff would really piss me off. Tell him to frick off.

He should STILL use the name, making the nephew share the name with a girl.


This is an awesome idea, and I almost wish I had done that.

Accepting the items you bought for your "son" is one thing. Asking for them is a whole different ballgame.

Seriously, give the stuff to them with a big hole where the monogram used to be.

I agree terd, I really think he is either a) reading this thread

or

b) trolling the hell out of the OP just for kicks. It'd be a total dick move to use the spelling AND middle name

You can't be mad at them for doing this past the name choice of you haven't told them your feelings.

A brick through a window with a note would do it.
