#1) Is OP in the wrong for this? Let’s find out.

#2) OP has two children, one biological daughter and an adopted son who were removed from their mother’s care.

#3) OP didn’t know he had a daughter but took both of them in. His adoptive son’s family were criminals so the social workers let him adopt.

#4) They were reluctant to let OP adopt his son but he was able to and it had gone well. His son calls OP either dad or his name interchangeably.

#5) OP doesn’t have a typical family but they all love each other. OP’s son-in-law’s future is bothered by the fact that he uses OP’s name in a practice speech for the wedding.

#6) The in-laws complained to OP’s future DIL who dismissed it, but then they later annoyed OP saying that it was disrespectful.

#7) OP’s in-laws were being increasingly rude about the situation which led to him telling them to mind their own business.

#8) OP’s future daughter-in-law defended him and told her family that this wasn’t their business. They have been calling OP disrespectful.

The consensus among the Reddit users discussing the situation is that OP was not at fault and did not do anything wrong in this case. He is a loving and caring father who does what is best for his children and family. The in-laws should stop interfering in the family’s relationships, and the father has every right to set boundaries and stand up for his son. It’s important to remember that OP and his son are the only ones who can decide what is best for their relationship, and no one else’s opinions matter.
