Re: In-Laws deciding name…
good…this is precisely what I had hoped to accomplish with my post.
my mother’s choice was her choice…was it just? I guess it really doesn’t matter. the point of sharing that story was to illustrate that there can be a positive ending to what seems to be a very negative situation…so in a way it really was instructive for those that want to see the wisdom in it.
and you are absolutely entitled to hold your principles dear. by the same token, a woman that “chooses” to not fight this battle is no less justified in her decision.
as far as “unfavorable circumstances” are concerned…this would be subjective judgement as what I find unfavorable, you may not.
you are right…no woman would feel loved or honored if she is not given a voice…and I suppose my suggestion is that there are bigger underlying factors at play when this is the case…but I don’t believe that this is the case here. maybe I am wrong.
yes…indeed good luck to S_Punk and double yes to we all hope that things work out for you.
and I think chaibiscuit’s suggestion of King and Kong is great for the twins to be!
