[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 283387, member: 1233"] janet, is there a chance that it was the rudeness that greeted your request that is at least as upsetting as the name? Seems lately that Jamie and Billie have not been the most polite people to have around. They announce they are coming to visit with little regard as to how it fits YOUR life and health and home, they insist on taking your BED right after you are released from the hospital, their child is excrutiatingly rude to Keyana on past visits including one visit to their house. Are you maybe fixating on the name because it is so hard to understand the rudeness and lack of caring behind their actions? Maybe your frustrations are coming to a head over this issue, rather than coming out when they TOLD you (not asked you) that they were coming to visit and would stay in YOUR room because of course Billie can't be upset or half to pay for a hotel room. I am just wondering. I do know how important family names are. My bro still fixated on how our name will "die out" if he doesn't have a son. Um. No. because there are several HUNDRED relative in some other states that are all cousins of ours. But on my mom's side my gma died when my mom was in grade school. When my aunts had kids they named them other names, partly at my Gpas request (it was a reminder of his loss and how ill she was). When my cousins had kids NONE of them would even consider Jessie (boy or girl variety). I knew from when I was little that I would have a girl and name her that. When I did? My mom's oldest sister called and asked if there was a reason behind the name. When I said yes, that it was her mother's name (meaning my aunt's mother), my aunt broke into tears. She had been SOO upset that none of her granddau's were named that. Jessie always has a special spot in my aunt's heart, even though they have only met a few times because they live far away. So while the name is important, maybe keyana will give one of HER kids the Scott name, jsut for you? And maybe you need to ahve a discussion with jamie about manners and his demands when they come visiting - like pushing Momma outta the bed isn't going to happen. Stay on what we have or stay elsewhere. I am terribly sorry you are so upset. [/QUOTE]
