[quote=Anonymous]That would bother me too, op. Next time she says it, in the moment right when it happens I'd calmly but firmly say "mil, I know you don't mean any harm by it but I really dislike the term mamas boy and would like you not to call 2yo son that." If she acts hurt about a slight from older son again id maybe talk to her about it later, when older son isn't around and say "I know you two are very close and that's wonderful but as much as he loves you, sometimes he's just not in the mood to be so affectionate. That's normal. Please don't let it hurt your feelings and don't make him feel guilty about it." I've had to say something similar to my dad who is overly sensitive and gets his feelings hurt when my son doesn't seem excited to see him. When adults act that way, it typically makes the kid even less likely to want to see them. [/quote]
