It all began when the lady was expecting her first child. The lady’s mother-in-law was quite religious and wanted to name her granddaughter Amazing Grace. Hearing this, the daughter-in-law said that she would rather gargle with broken glass and gasoline. Of course, she wanted a different name to call her daughter with. In spite of her polite refusal and continuously changing the subject, the mother-in-law decided to call her granddaughter Mazie, which is short for Almighty Grace and it’s been 5 years and she still refuses to call her by her correct name.

The same thing happened when the daughter-in-law gave birth to her second child. The grandmother calls her second grandchild either by her middle name, which was given to her by her father, or by a countryfied version of it. It has been 2 years since then and still she hasn’t stopped to call her grandkids by their incorrect names. This irritates the mother a lot.

Unfortunately, the daughter-in-law lost her husband in July. This is why she, along with her kids, has to live in proximity from her in-laws. Earlier the couple used to visit them infrequently which made it easy for them to bear with the wrong names. However, now the situation has worsened. The constant belittling of the mother-in-law keeps on annoying the widowed mother.

The daughter-in-law shared her story online and people came out in her support. They argued that it was impolite on behalf of the mother-in-law to do such a thing. Some said that they would have not put up with this non sense if they were in her place as it was totally disrespectful and juvenile.

Some gave suggestions that if the grandmother continued to do so then they should just get up and leave without saying a word. Some even went to the extent to give ideas to take revenge from the mother-in-law by calling her by different biblical names with evil insinuations like Lilith, Mazikeen, or Jezebel.

The daughter-in-law replied to all this by saying that with what little time she had to live there, she wanted to live in peace without any tiff between her and her mother-in-law.
