Mum thinks it’s creepy that SIL got HER children’s name tattooed on her arm

What do you think?

One mum recently took to the internet to vent her frustrations about her sister-in-law.

The mother said that she was creeped out by the fact that her sister-in-law that she barely has a relationship with got her children’s names tattooed onto her arm.

She felt that it was a strange thing to do as the aunt barely ever sees her nephews.

The mum posted her outrage to Reddit;

“I think it’s disturbing that my sister-in-law, who has a long-distance, limited relationship with our children, had their names tattooed on her arm. She did not ask us how we felt, just posted a picture on social media once it was done. She has no children of her own, but is still in her child-bearing years. She is not a close beloved aunt of my children- they see her once a year and talk to her briefly on holidays.

She is going to expect us to all oooh and ahh about this tattoo. I have nothing nice to say. I am not flattered, I feel violated. I feel like if anyone is going to tattoo my kids’ names on their body is should be me or my husband!”

While I have known of aunts having their nieces and nephews names tattoed on themselves it does seem a little strange if the mum is telling the truth about her having very little contact with them.

Do you think the aunt is creepy for getting her nephew’s names tattooed on her or is the mum overreacting?
