Grandparents play an important role in their grandchildren’s life. Their involvement makes things easier for parents. But sometimes, their involvement may result in conflicts.
Recently, a future mother shared on Reddit that her mother-in-law guilt-tripped her to reveal her baby’s name. The woman suspected that her oversharing MIL would reveal her baby’s name on Facebook even before she is born. Thus, she gave her a fake baby name and told her to keep it a secret. But, she immediately shared it on Facebook despite being told not to. Later when the MIL realized that she was lied to, she became upset about it. Read the full story below.
