Offer some other suggestions. Grammy, Gigi, grandma first name, Nonna... [b]Tell her any recognizable grandma name, but nothing that includes "mom." [/b]

Does DH back you up? If so, he can tell her. "Mom, please, don't be ridiculous. Pick something that doesn't have 'mom' in it."[/quote]

You realize how ridiculous your words are?   Grand[u]mother[/u], grand[u]mom[/u], grand[u]ma[/u], all have "mom" in them.  Why?  Because she's the mother's [u]mother[/u] or the father's [u]mother[/u].  She is a mother of this child one generation removed.  "Mom" is the mother.  "Mom mom" is the a generation removed.  Why is this so hard to process?  And why would you make this your hill to die on?  If you really want to be that nit-picky and control-freaky, you will alienate your MIL.  Pick the battles worth fighting.  And people wonder why so many DILs and MILs don't get along?  This is why?  Typically because someone (in this case the DIL) is being unreasonable.[/quote]
