MIL doesn't like how we're spelling Riley- she thinks that's the masculine spelling. She told my mom that she's spelling it "Ryleigh" regardless of what we decide. On one hand, I'm annoyed as fuck. OTOH, WTFever. Spell it however you want. You're the one who will look like a moron, spelling your granddaughter's name WRONG.

LOFL, why are people crazy? I hope she gives you a personalized pillow or something and you can just chuck it in the garbage right in front of her because that's not your daughter's name.

My aunt spells my sisters name sfefanie. That's not how it's spelled on her birth certificate but might have been how my mom intended to spell it. My sister has a lifetime of personalized items that are misspelled haha

[Elsa]

Dude. Not freaking ok. Who the fuck does she think she is?!

Your H needs to have a CTJ talk with her.

Lolololololol

I'm dying! Sfefanie. Lolllllllll

[candreco]

WTF, Ryleigh is just.... what? Grandparents can get so weird. It took over a year to get MIL to stop using what she assumed would be DS's nickname.

The "o" key isn't working on my keyboard. This is really effing annoying, I'm using a copy-pasted "o" for now.

This would make me more crazy than the name thing, lol.

[dreamcrisp1]

Ryleigh is better than Riley? No! Weirdos.

I got an email from someone who didn't know what a courier address was. I love people.

2 more official work days till vacay!!!!!

[pandora89]

People are crazy, you cant just spell people's name however you want!

It is finally starting to get nice here, the weather has been awful the last few weeks. It still isn't really dress weather but I don't care anymore.

[nahoku]

Do you think crazy in-laws were always crazy people or are we destined for the same fate once our kids are grown and marrying/starting families?

[BaliHai]

Bernadine That spelling of Riley is an abomination, so she certainly will look like a fool if that's how she goes around writing it. I really like Riley, btw.

I feel so refreshed this morning. L asked to sleep in "mommy's crib" when I was getting her ready for bed, and normally I say no because I cherish my downtime after she goes to bed, but I was so freaking tired from the last several nights that I said yes, so we went to bed at 9. She asked me to tell her a story about "the baby - a baby sister" before we went to sleep (thanks Bubble Guppies! lol - I'm not pregnant), so I did, and she had passed out before I finished talking. And we slept all night! Bliss.

[shopgirl07]

I love the name Riley! And I think you're smart to just laugh your MIL off. I'm sure once the baby is here she'll accept the spelling.

I'm pretty sure I inherited my mother's crazy. Sorry future son in law! I promise to balance the crazy by cooking excellent dinners when I visit, like my mom does.

[meganew]

Goddamnit, Sfefanie!

[Bernadine]

I'm just picturing Riley and I laughing as she gets older, about crazy Mimi spelling her name wrong, lol.

[katiescarlett]

I just found out DH took a week of vacation the week BEFORE we talked about and I already made reservations for. He claims I told him that week and maybe in my sleep deprived brain I did? I'm just so frustrated by his ob and all their stupid hour changes and rule changes. We just want to take a nice family vacation and it's so stressful and difficult to plan around. It doesn't help that they have to request the time off a year in advance.

First world problem, I know.

N graduated OT at school yesterday. They gave her a certificate and the OT walked her back to class to present it to her and the whole class cheered. (heart)   I'm so freaking lucky for her amazing team.

Yay, great job N!

[themysteriouswife]

We get the misspelling with both kids and our last name. It's annoying.

I have a huge list of things I need to do, but I have no motivation. We are having game night on Saturday. I just don't feel like it. I really thought about canceling.

Really?

My grandmother spelled my name wrong for YEARS! I am going to be 41 years old and it still annoys the every loving shit out of me. I think my aunts yelling at her for 20+ years finally got through to her.

[dreamcrisp1]

Also my grandma never spelled my name right. Like not even close. And it always entertained me. I mean she didn't do it out of spite or wanting too, she legit didn't know how to spell my name.

[FastHands]

My random -- I accidentally put on my cardigan inside-out and didn't realize it until I was at work. Of course now I can't flip it, because there is deodorant residue that will then be on the OUTSIDE. I actually have my hair down for once, so maybe no one will notice the shoulder seams. lol

I always wonder about this!

[liverandonions]

My son is Robert nn Robbie. My Dad, Stepmom and Sister all think it should be Robby so my sister was constantly spelling it like that just to piss me off-I finally made it obvious that it was bugging me so she now calls him Rob-B which is funny because it's like his rap name and also our last name starts with B.

[revolution]

I love the spelling you chose. MIL's way is nonsense. You and Riley will have many good laughs about this!

FWIW, my name is spelled wrong all the time. GMIL consistently spells it wrong. ALWAYS. Like, her own made up way and not just the other normal way to spell it. I find if funny.
