My SIL insists on his children being named after deceased close relatives, which I respect. DD goes along with this.
I only have two GC, both from my DD and SIL. The first child was named after SIL male grandparents. The latest baby girl- born 2 days ago- has been named after SIL grandmother and only the second name after my late mother. So 3/4 of the children's names are after SIL side. My poor DH side of the family have been ignored.
I obviously wouldn't make an issue of this with DD or SIL, but it has hurt DH that his side has been overlooked.
SIL parents lives in Canada and can't be so hands on. So maybe SIL wanted to make them feel more included.
It seems such a petty issue when written down, but are we over reacting to this slight?
