A woman on Reddit is seeking advice on whether her mother's decision to get a tattoo of her husband's initials is appropriate. The woman explained that her mother already has a tattoo with her and her brother's initials, but now wants to add her husband's initials to it. While the woman understands her mother's sentiment, she can't help but feel that it's a bit weird.
The woman's mother plans to get three hearts on her wrist, with the first initial of her husband's, her brother's, and her name. When the woman commented on how sweet it was of her mother to include her husband's initial, her mother went on a speech about how he is her son now too and she loves him like a son.
The woman clarified that she doesn't see herself splitting up with her husband, but still doesn't support the idea of her mother getting a tattoo of his initials. She thinks it's weird and doesn't want her mother to go through the hassle of getting a tattoo that might not be relevant in the future.
Many people in the comments section shared their opinions on whether or not the woman was overreacting. Some thought she was being too sensitive, while others understood her concerns. One commenter noted that the mother likely views the husband as a member of the family and the tattoo is a way to include him. Another commenter suggested that the woman's mother might not have encountered many failed relationships, which could explain why she wants to get the tattoo.
Overall, the woman is seeking advice on how to approach the situation and whether or not she should let her mother get the tattoo.
