[quote=Anonymous]Honestly? I don’t quite see why you don’t just tell your MIL not to call him Ted. Why is this all about indulging her apparent insanity at the expense of a 4 year old? Stop pushing your DS and push her. Trying talking to her and putting an end to this: “Please stop calling him Ted. He doesn’t like it and, at 4, doesn’t even understand that it’s a nickname other people use for Theodore. As a result, it’s as though you’re calling him Bob or Fred or some other random name that is not his. He thinks it’s because you don’t love him. I would hate for you to permanently lose your relationship with your grandson over this.” If that doesn’t work, you correct her loudly each and every time from now on so that DS knows you’re on his side. Make sure that if there has to be a bizarre power struggle over this, it’s everyone vs MIL.[/quote]
