Daughter Bans Old Mother from Her House for Attempting to Steal Her Son – Story of the Day
Marianne’s mother, Ella, wanted her grandson to be named Jacob, but she and her husband disagreed. Ella inserted herself into every aspect of their parenting and tried to do the unspeakable when they set up boundaries.
Marianne and Richard were expecting their first child, but they decided to wait until birth to find out the gender. Ella, Marianne’s mother, disagreed with this decision because she wanted to know everything about her coming grandson.
“How about I call your doctor and find out myself? Then I can throw you guys an appropriate baby shower, and maybe even a gender reveal!” Ella said enthusiastically.

“No, Mom. We have made our decision. You have to respect our wishes,” Marianne uttered, frustrated.
“I’m just excited about my grandbaby. You can’t blame me, and I also have more experience than both of you. You should listen to me,” Ella added, pouting.
“I know you have more experience, but this is our baby. We’re the parents, and we have decided,” Richard chimed in. While he didn’t hate his mother-in-law, she’s been getting on his nerves since they announced the pregnancy.
Ella left their house reluctantly that night, and they both breathed a sigh of relief. “We really shouldn’t have moved that close to your mother,” Richard muttered.

Marianne and Richard met in college and moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, to be closer to family. At first, it seemed like a great decision. They wouldn’t have to worry about an older woman alone while they were thousands of miles away. But now, they were both regretting their choice.
“I know, honey. But well, it is her first grandchild,” Marianne said, trying to soothe her husband.
The next day, Ella returned and shocked them. “The baby’s name has to be Jacob, after my father!” Ella revealed.
“Mom, we haven’t chosen a name, and we don’t even know the gender yet,” Marianne said gently.
“But Jacob is perfect, and that means you don’t have to worry about the name anymore. I have taken that stress off your life!” Ella continued.
“What if the baby is a girl?” Marianne wondered.
“No! I have a feeling it’s going to be a boy. You’re carrying that belly in a certain way. I’m sure of it! We’re finally going to have a boy in the family!” Ella cheered.
