[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call her the wrong name whenever she does it. [/quote] This is probably what I would do. Ideally, I'd use a nickname that she hated. I wouldn't cut off contact or anything, but I would tell your MIL that your son has asked her not to call him Ted, that you are not going to punish him for not responding to a name he's asked her not to call him, and that if she insists on calling him Ted, she is choosing to damage her relationship with her grandson for no good reason. And I wouldn't punish your FIL by cutting off their access to Theo. FIL is doing his best. Frankly, I like his solution--just repeat whatever MIL says, using the correct name. Every single time.
