'I love my daughter but I'm at my wit's end here. I don't see anything wrong with introducing her by her real name'
A mum says her daughter 'hates' her name and always uses a shortened version of it - which she finds 'embarrassing and disrespectful'. Posting to Reddit, the parent explained that while she wouldn't usually mind her daughter using the nickname, she now refuses to answer to her full name at all and treats it like a 'dirty word'.
"I don't mind that she does that, but I'm getting tired of the way she corrects me when I introduce her. I use her full name because that's the name her dad and I gave her, and I don't consider the nickname her real name. "It's really embarrassing because whoever I'm trying to introduce her to sees her disrespecting me like that and it puts a damper on the whole mood. It happened again today and I'd finally had enough. I told her to drop the attitude and stop disrespecting me over nothing.
"I love my daughter but I'm at my wit's end here. I don't see anything wrong with introducing her by her real name and I think she's being oversensitive and rude, but my friend says I should see what other people think."
