Stepmom wants to add her name to mine, but I said no ‍♀️

A woman posted on AITA subreddit asking if she was the asshole for refusing to add her stepmother’s name to hers. Her father gave her mother’s name as her middle name and her mother’s chosen name as her first name after her mother died during childbirth. Her stepmother, Norah, has been insisting for years that she should add her name as a second middle name. The woman refused and told her stepmother that she is not her mother and that her jealousy is the reason she never bonded with her. The stepmother has been upset since the conversation and the woman wanted to know if she was in the wrong. The post has garnered a lot of reactions from people who are divided on who was wrong in this situation. Some think the woman was justified in her decision, while others think she could have been more sensitive to her stepmother’s feelings. Read on for some of the comments and reactions to the post.
