[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe this wouldn't annoy some people.  I consider myself to be pretty laid-back and not much upsets me, but this really would bother me. It's so disrespectful and rude.

I would absolutely either get a new cover for the chair or get rid of it altogether, and I'd tell MIL why if/when she asked. [/quote]

I agree! It is crazy really that some people think it is okay for the grandmother to give the child a nickname different than what the parents call her (other than an endearment like “lovebug” or something to that affect :-) ). My father frequently tries to create a nickname for my son ([b]picture my son being named Michael which is what everyone calls him, and grandpa calls him Mikey[/b]). THat bugs me and this would, too. I’d tell MIL to return the chair. [/quote]

You're nuts.  You can't dictate that no other family members have an affectionate nickname for your kid.  This is some petty dictatorship BS.[/quote]

You're forgetting that this is DCUM  and  a good amount of posters are from DC and people in this area view their kids as part of their brand everything about   their lives as planned and scheduled. The perfect nickname is part of the brand. Can't have that Ivy law school finding out that   DC was once called Suzy with an I by grandma when she was 2, so trashy.[/quote]
OMG YES!
MY late grandmother used to misspell my DC's name all the time.
And it is a 3 letter name, so misspelling it turned it into an entirely different name. DH and I thought it was funny.  My name is Suzi, and people write Susie or Susy all the time, even in emails where my name is in B&W!! It bothers me none. I do not even tell baristas how I spell it when I order coffee.
Some of you hoes need to unclench .[/quote]

Surely you see a difference between a permanent piece of furniture in a child's room and a coffee cup.  I let my kid order for me at Starbucks the other day, and the  barista heard my name (which has multiple syllables, and doesn't start with a G) as "Godd".  I didn't correct them, in fact I posted a picture of it to facebook.  But it's temporary, and I already know how to spell my name.  I wouldn't want something permanent in my house that had a misspelling.

I have a friend who is named Suzie, I think, it could be Susie.  Sometimes I check when I email, but I know I've emailed it wrong.  But if I was buying her a personalized gift to be on display in her house, I'd triple check.  [/quote]
