your mother in law is twisted. Maybe you should tell her that refusing to see her own grandchild because of such a thing is not very Christian like. I would call her pastor and tell him/her that she is in dire need of counseling. I can't imagine a church saying that you should disown your own blood if they are not baptised. UGHHH!!! I feel for you!  |

The problem seems to be hers, not yours. I think that you both need to be polite to your mother in law. If she doesn't want to see the the baby, that is her choice. I can't imagine someone not wanting to go to their childs wedding or not see her grand child. I don't think that there are any passages in the bible that advocate punishing your family if they don't do what you want.
Best of luck... I think that your life will be interesting with such a relative. Perhaps, you and your wife should attend some family counseling just so she cannot undermine your relationship.  |

Well my mother in-law sees my kids, but told me when and if I babtise them I have to babtise them catholic..Not..I am lutheran, and my husbad tho his family is catholic doesn't even believe in God..so why would I babtise them her religion...I think in-laws try to have to much input..Wether you babtise or not, it isn't her business to say....Congrats by the way.(and I like Justin as a frist name)...Dani  |

That is mean of your mother-in-law. But it's her choose not to see the baby it's her our fault not yours or your wife. As for a boy name I like Joshua or Micheal. Good Luck!!  |

Whew.....so, by her "own" standards, she's going against her "religious values" by being judgemental.......Not right is a total understatement....I'm with Keth....your mother in law's being an idiot....  |

wow i think that woman has some serious issues if you ask me...Does your wife see how her mother IS? Just because your not the same religion as her your marriage will fail, and she wont see her grandchild? This is so reduculous there is no other way of putting it. I like the name Derek for a boy..lol  |

Congradulations on becoming a daddy-to-be!! Your mother-n-law sounds like a first-class nut! I don't understand how it could make a difference whether the child is baptised or not..She sounds like a religious control-freak..I'm sure this won't be the last demand she will make in the raising of YOUR child, so be prepared...It might be better for you if she finds some other reason to refuse to have anything to do with your child...By the way, I think Samual (Or Sam, I've always liked that name) or Jonah would go well with Robert..  |

Well I'm going to try to answer to everyone's reply in one shot....ok. First of all, I feel that the reason that my mother-in-law is like this is because of her past. When my wife's parents seperated, she needed something to hold on to. Then she found the church. She wasn't big into religion until then. I think that the divorce devestated her, and I also think that is the reason that she is trying to hold on to her kids. She doesn't want anyone else to leave her. Which is understandable. But I think that she is taking it way too far. It's either her way or the highway. I'm not saying that she is a bad person, just her ways are messed up. My wife does finally understand how her mother is. And she is not going to undermine our marriage. No way. By the way, I say thank you to everyone who submitted suggestions for a boy's name. I will have my wife look at this post tonight and see which ones she likes. But she has some wierd names so far such as: Parker, Ryker, and Prince. I'm sorry, but I can't name my kid that...they're gonna get beat, I just know it. LOL. Keep it up!!!  |

btw, his name is pronounced Devree, but due to the immense amount of painkillers I was on while filling out the birth certificate, that's what he ended up with. lol. I still think I did good... |

Oh the joys of the inlaws. She would drive me crazy! Just ignore her, shes obviously very closed minded. How could she even think of not being a part of her grandchilds life because of something like this? Thats just insanity! Im very happy for you and your wife. You are truly blessed. This is YOUR child, you make the rules! Congratulations!!!!  |

Well, she's the one missing out. She's entitled to her opinion, but so are you-I imagine this is extremely stressful for your wife, it is a shame her mother can't see the harm she is doing. I wonder if she thinks it is very "Godly" to act like such a jerk. I say ignore her, and if she chooses not to see the child, well-it's her loss.  |

Well my wife believes that even though she said that she doesn't believe it. She believes that once her mother sees this child, everything that she has said about it so far won't hold up to seeing that little face. But you never know I guess. By the way, we had already decided to baptise the child before her mother even thought about saying that. Thanx anyway. Keep em coming!!! |

this is Crystal his wife, My mother is a giant pain in the butt. I was told i was infertile and this will be her first grandchild, ha but I know she will love it no matter what. But then again I still held out hope that she would come to our wedding. I waited for 10 minutes before I finally said alright I guess she is not comming. My mother is one of thoose people she doesnt think about things before she says them it does get to me but I've gotten used to blocking her out. thank you for all of the name selections,Kethria I really like the name caleb it fits well caleb robert smith. thanks |

i personally wouldn't want someone like that in my life.. it seems that her mother is doing nothing but hurting her on all her moments of happiness. i would go straight up to her tell her that this is YOUR choice not hers and if her relgious beliefs are in any way contradicting your life style(being not religious.. heck refusing to seeher grand child) that she either removes herself from your life completely or accept your way of life, she doesn't have to like it she JUST has to accept it  |

That woman sounds like a crazy biblethumper. She needs to realize that religion isnt the only thing there is in the world. I think that is horrible she didnt go to her own daughters wedding because its not in a church. Thats insane.  |
