[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, dear, what can the matter be?  Grandmama is so late at the fair.

Your MIL sounds much like my MIL.  (I would have a hard time calling anyone Grandmama without going into a high falsetto.)  Just refer to her as Grandmama and eventually in a few years it will take (maybe). [/quote]

OP here. I failed to mention in my original post that my husband and I just call her "Grandma" or "Grandma Sarah." She "corrects" us to "Grandmama" now, and while he sincerely tries and forgets, I must admit that I don't try and I just forget/don't care. I'm just like, whatever...

If she would drop it, I'd probably make more of an effort, but I just can't when she's leaping into every casual conversation/interaction, like, "IT'S GRANDMAMA NOW, REMEMBER?"[/quote]

Yeah, it's a pain, but you and DH will need to make an effort.

My SIL insists on being called by just her first name b/c she said that "Aunt" made her feel/seem old.  My brother and his wife insist on being called Uncle/Aunt as a sign of respect.  Sometimes it's hard work keeping everyone happy.  :)[/quote]

Oh, I did make an effort--four changes in 2.5 years. I'm kinda out of effort. And I'm not going to push my kids on this.[/quote]
