Hey all looking for some support on a issue I'm struggling with. My husband I are are in a biracial marriage. He is from Saudi and I am from the US - Kentucky. We have been together since 2015 and have an amazing marriage. We truly are each others best friend. I have a daughter from a previous relationship and he has raised her since she was 1 yr old. She is 5 now and we just welcomed a new addition a baby girl on Sunday 7/7/19.

Both my husband's mother and step mother are dead so when we wanted to choose a name we had always wanted to include one or both of them in some way. We decided early on that we didnt want to find out gender and we didnt want to discuss names with anyone - including my family. My mother has continued to put her two sense in my entire pregnancy about how the name needed to be American and how she felt we would be excluding my family by not including them in the name.

Well Sunday we had our baby girl and named her after his mother - her name is very traditional and not the least bit American. I love it. It includes her grandmothers name her father's name and her grandfather's name.

Al-Jawharah is her first name.

She is now mad at me and is being extremely argumentative. I offered to have her come over to our home tomorrow with my grandmother and this was my mothers response:

I am hurt.

The name bothers me. Nothing american about it at all. Hell i cant even keep ip with it wothput writing it down. Like u both planned it that way

. U put on fb no visitors. Perhaps put on ther ... open house now come on over... hell i dunno.

I have been working my ass off at work and at home. Have u bothered to call anyone ? I got one dacetime because i asked for it.

I am overwhelmed and frustrated that she continues to make this beautiful moment for my husband and I about her. Am I being too passive? How do I respond to her and get her to understand?
