[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea, I have advice for you -- chill out.[/quote] Nope, her kid is uncomfortable because grandma is trying to co-opt a level of intimacy she does not have. OP said this is a pet name, not simply a nickname.[/quote] You're conveniently skipping over the fact that OP said her daughter is a people pleaser, she was likely equally reacting to OP's reaction. IT sounds like OP is creating a stressful situation for her daughter and she has learned to bend over backward to keep mommy calm and happy. OP needs to relax big time. If and only if it really bothers her daughter then she can coach her daughter to say " Grandma, I like it better when you call me X".[/quote]
