[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought you meant like, Vicky vs. Vicki, where it's a spelling difference.  I think Susie vs. Suzi is a big enough difference that it's not misspelling, it's a different nickname your DD has from her grandmother.  That's less bothersome to me because it won't confuse the kid about spelling and letters, and more of a "you can have this thing together" issue.[/quote]
What? Are you pronouncing Susie and Suzi differently?  That said, so what; people misspelled my nn accidentally but I still learned to spell it. I’m 46 and my mom’s side still misspells it. No biggie.[/quote]

+1  This is the textbook definition of small stuff OP.[/quote]
No, it's a passive-aggressive control tactic done deliberately. A person's name is important, including spelling. It may seem small now, but I think OP should stand up their child now, rather than letting MIL influence extend into other areas of parental decisions down the road. My suggestion would be to simply return the incorrectly personalized item and thank MIL for the thought, but you won't accept gifts with the incorrect name.[/quote]

Or even better, since it's probably not returnable, use a Sharpie or a label to put the correct spelling on the chair.  [/quote]
