“A Huge Tattoo On Her Chest”: Mom Left In Tears After Seeing MIL’s Gift To Baby
When a couple brings a new life into the world, it’s not just their lives that are forever changed, but even aunts, uncles, and grandparents now have someone new to love.
This excitement, however, can blur boundaries and make some people forget what’s appropriate.
How involved should relatives be in the baby’s life? Do they need to consult the parents before making any decision that might affect the child?
Below, you’ll find a story that was originally shared on Reddit by a woman who was frustrated with her mother-in-law’s new tattoo that featured her baby but was done without asking for permission first.

From the title I thought the MIL had arranged a tattoo on the baby's chest.

I despair even more for the future of sapiens sapiens after reading stuff like this. Just so many levels of wrong. Taste, jealousy, waste of money, narcissism on all sides, emotional immaturity, etc, etc, etc

I agree, but to me this is very much a case of first-world problems. Nobody was hurt, and the baby is allowed to still be born in June, and still keep her name. Nobody took anything from anybody, nothing was stolen. Mom can still get a tattoo. MIL can still keep hers. At some point that child will decide that they hate their name (which is probably something like Tramberleigh), and go by their middle name, Beth, and both moms will have a tattoo that nobody wants or likes.
