[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was given a nickname which I hated as a small child. My parents still publicly call me by this embarassing nickname every time I see them -- in front of friends, coworkers, my husband, my children. I have tried everything but they still call me this name (think 'bubbles' or something of this ilk). I don't find it charming, I find it abusive, but they will never stop. COnsequently we don't see them much.[/quote] Ugh, my mom does something similar. Whenever she calls or visits, she says something similar to, "Hello my precious green-eyed little girl!," in a voice like she's talking to an infant. I'm 39 years old. I've expressed my annoyance and told her to stop multiple times. The other day she did it again, and asked whether I'd call my own daughter a "love name" when she's 39. I told her absolutely not; I'd try to treat her like an adult. We'll see if that helps any.[/quote]
