Mom Gets Mad After Her Son Andrew Got Nicknamed "Andy" By Classmates, Gets Roasted

Parents are the ones to decide how to name their children. It's a pretty important decision, anyway. Because you know, your name is the main source of inspiration for others to make up various nicknames. And unfortunately, once they find a nickname for you, no one can stop them from using it instead of your real name. Well, take it easy. As long as that nickname doesn't convey any bad meaning, everything is just fine.
Not in this case. The mother in this story shared in subreddit r/InsaneParents has a son named Andrew. She loves her son's name but particularly hates the nickname "Andy." After moving over the summer, her son got that exact nickname in his new school. She got fumed and talked to her son's teacher several times about this, but to no avail. Her craziness attracted lots of attention on Reddit and also lots of responses that roasted her to a crisp.
